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

"But Friday's game had a high range of emotions, along with plenty of physical play. A rough foul by Christ the King center Adonis Delarosa not only led to the senior’s ejection, but also briefly halted the game midway through the third quarter.
 
Both teams did an effective job calming down what was a highly charged atmosphere and helped to resume the ballgame that came down to an exciting conclusion.
 
“There’s no play for that in our league and in our game and in varsity basketball and you don’t want to see someone get hurt,” Bishop Loughlin coach Ed Gonzalez said. “Things happened out there. It's unfortunate. This is a heated rivalry but we know we need to play the game the right way and settle it on the court.”
 
Minutes before tipoff, players from both sides jawed at one another. Issak Bodon of Bishop Loughlin and Royals forward Travis Atson was each assessed a double technical foul in the second quarter.
 
With Bishop Loughlin leading 48-44 with 4:31 left in the third quarter, Rutgers bound Mike Williams received a pass and drove hard to the basket from the left baseline when 6-foot-11 Christ the King center Adonis Delarosa stepped in front of the Lions senior guard.
 
Delarosa barreled into Williams and the force of the collision sent the Lions senior landing hard to the floor and causing a gash to open up in the back of his head.
 
Two people from the crowd quickly rushed to the floor, with one shoving his arms to the back of the head of Delarosa, and the other attempting to land a punch towards the Royals player. Both were stopped from doing more harm as school officials and coaches quickly stepped in to escort the pair from the building.
 
Delarosa was promptly ejected from the game with a flagrant foul and may receive a two-game suspension for his actions. Williams (14 points) got up after a few minutes and walked under his own power, but   he was taken to the hospital to stich up a gash in the back of his head.
 
Christ the King coach Joe Aribtello was displeased by his center’s actions, but praised cooler heads from both sides prevailing when the emotions of the moment could have led to something worse happening.
 
“It was out of control. We were as fault as much as they were at fault,” Arbitello said. “I told my guys and we huddled up there, next guy to say a word and Eddie [Gonzalez] agreed, will sit on the bench for the rest of the game, next guy to talk to somebody, push somebody do anything like that is done. And the play with Adonis was just ridiculous.”

""I knew it was going to be an easy win so I had faith in my guys," said Delarosa, who declined to discuss the suspension and will start taking his official college visits in late February. St. John's, Fordham and South Carolina have recruited him the hardest, he said. "I felt okay watching from the sideline but it still hurts because I wanted to be out there," he went on. "We come back Sunday and play Loughlin, so it should be an interesting game. We're not going to back down."

Not sure why but that comment bothers me. Calling a game an easy win  is a sign of immaturity

I think its just something that 17 year old High School seniors say. 

I like lavin's odds against that nut job Frank Martin. Hopefully kid commits and keeps getting body in shape. A 6 11" kid with a soft touch is a valuable commodity. As for gtown he should want to get far away from Josh Smith. They will both be 350 pounds in each other's company lol

"“He’s lost about 40 or 50 pounds,” Arbitello said recently. “He [could] lose another 30 when he gets to college. He has great hands, great feet. He’s a post player. The way the game has evolved in college, he’s not one of these 6-10 real athletic guys but he is a 6-11 back-to-the-basket guy that teams have a tough time defending because they don’t see it a lot.”

According to the Daily News, De La Rosa is currently serving a two-game suspension for a flagrant foul against Rutgers-bound guard Mike Williams of Bishop Loughlin.

As much as Lavin likes athletes who can run you can't run all the time or even most of the time as you can see us trying to run a half court offense most of the time especially late in games running clock and trying to hold leads. A skilled big you can dump the ball down to down low with good hands and footwork can be invaluable to any team. Could be a good get if he can develop. As Lou used to say-big men come slow.

I agree...after seeing him recently i think he is worth a shot......certainly to clog up the middle and eat up some fouls.....he has real soft hands.....definitely has some potential.....and who knows, if he lose some more weight maybe he could run with us some...

Adonis returns from his WWE suspension in a revenge game at home v. Loughlin  on Sunday, 2/9.

Do you know what time the game is?  Time to go before Creighton?

Weird thing is many players at KSU liked playing for him.  Personally, I like coach Lav's style of coaching much better.
