Cooley is a dead ringer for Prop Joe RIP

I heard Cooley lost 60lbs+...  I have not seen him yet though

His face definitely looked thinner and he looked younger during his interview on FS1's BE Kickoff Special.

fwiw, USA Today ranked Christ the King No. 17 in country.
In his interview when the announcer called him 6'10 he quickly corrected him and said 7'. Let's hope so if we get him. If we don't hope the kid is really 6'8.  :)

Big boy pushes 7' with ease

For perspective, Lopez measured 6'4.75 at the nba draft without shoes

I don't care whether Delarosa is 7ft exactly or 6'11.  Orlando is about 6'9" and not much shorter.

 ..and watching courtside last night,  Sanchez and Sampson are almost exactly the same height.. I think Sampson is legit 6'9 now..

One writer's opinion about Adonis;

@BFlinnFuture150: I think that St. John's may be the school to beat. Things can change now that other schools will be looking for big men

Christ the King coach Joe Arbitello said Purdue, Wake Forest, Florida State, St. John’s, Seton Hall, SMU, Georgetown, Fordham and Hofstra were all recruiting De La Rosa.

So essentially, if DLR wants to develop as  a big man, with the coaches/schools in the running, he's best served by SJ's, GTown, FSU and SMU.

I love msgvarsity.com - was able to watch my alma mater play Chaminade in a reg season football game - what a resource.

I just can't see how this kid can develop and play at BE level. About the sixth time I have observed him & still am very unimpressed. Oh well, staff must know better.

Despite my concerns above, I do agree with another poster that Adonis could probably fill Gift's five or so minutes a game role. (if he gets in better shape). He has better hands and passing ability IMO. I just don't see him contributing much down the road in a greater role, but will trust staff on that. The important slot to fill is Sanchez. Hopefully we can get a Juco or fifth year transfer for that.

When was the last time SJU developed a big man.

Yes, but in today's parlance he would be considered a "big".

I disagree. He's a load and you can develop that.

Additionally there isn't much else in this class and this fits a major need. I think its a good mutual fit at St. John's however he isn't exactly Lavin's ideal player.
