Adonis DelaRosa - C - Christ The King - New York, NY - ST. JOHN'S

How many times have we seen a big guy that was not a huge prospect but developed as a soph or junior beat us up on the interior?  If DelaRosa can develop into something like that, it is worth it given what I think our needs will be next year and down the road.

Wasn't he a power forward

Johnson was  6'9", he played center for three years and PF his senior year when McKoy played center. He is the third leading rebounder in SJU history.  He's a big man by any definition.

If by third leading rebounder you mean first you are a winner!

Playing center does not make you a center particularly at SJU. Over the last 50 year we may of had 6 centers and another half dozen pretenders.  Is that 6'9" on the SJU tape measure which is usually off by about two inches,

To the extent I recall Johnson he played center. That was a long time ago though and I was but a tad.

George played center for three years and power forward his senior year until McKoy got in foul trouble, when he switched back to the middle.  I was a bit more than a tad then.

Amen to that, he had some epic battles with James Bailey of Rutgers, George held his own but Bailey was slightly better.

What's your point?  Foad asked when was the last time we developed a big man, Johnson was a big man for us.

My point Simple he was a power forward and he wasn't 6-9!  I  damn sure wasn't a tad as I was over 40 by the time he finished at SJU,

My point Simple he was a power forward and he wasn't 6-9!  I  damn sure wasn't a tad as I was over 40 by the time he finished at SJU,

So was he or was he not a big man? And did he develop? I never saw him play.

Is George Johnson related to Adonis Delarosa?

So who played center his first three years, Tom Weadock?  George played back-to-the-basket center, regardless of what you think was his height.  I was over 30 by the time he finished and was at virtually every home game.

Is George Johnson related to Adonis Delarosa?

No, maybe, yes.

Freshman 10.1 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 5th leading scorer, leading rebounder
Sophmore 13.8 ppg,  10.6 rpg, 2nd leading scorer, leading rebounder
Junior 17.4 ppg, 10.8 rpg, 2nd leading scorer, leading rebounder
Senior 19.4 ppg, 12.0 rpg, leading scorer, leading rebounder

HE was A Power Forward

Guys how many here seen Adonis play for more than 5 games?

Live once.  On tape a few.  I said a few weeks ago when I saw them take on Stepinac if he is replacing Gift for 5-7 mpg as a freshman I have no issue with it.  Watch him develop then over the years.

Six times, four live.  Not optimistic about his development, but I trust staff knows better. He does have good hands, comes from good program & sure is big.
