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

Very odd. Hard to find a valid reason for no one from the staff making the trip up.

Unless the staff is being fired

There is no good reason for not having anyone at his game, unless we've given up on him, which makes no sense.

Was thinking the same thing. Let's hope that turns out to be the reason

Maybe we just have moved on to someone else.  I'm hopeful that we are recruiting other players that can help next yr and beyond.

Lavin and his staff are brain dead.  Missing this kid's Federation game is inexcusable.  To a certain extent he is a project but we badly need a large presence in the paint and he would provide it.  Given the current situation he is badly needed next year for 15-20 minutes a game, more of he gets to what should be his playing weight, 260 give or take.  If he learns to box out he will be HUGE.

This shows again that New York players are not a priority for our coaching staff.

There are much more interest in Louisiana, Florida or California (where all our players have transferred or didn´t enroll).

Lavin probably had dinner reservations he couldn't pass up. Would be a bummer if we didn't land whet seems like our last recruit for 2014.

@adelarosa0920: JUST GOT HOME FROM THE UNITVERSITY OF PITT  🏀🏀🏀🏀

Let him enjoy being courted. In the end, I doubt we lose him.

Very odd. Hard to find a valid reason for no one from the staff making the trip up.

Perhaps because he isn't that good.

This.

He should just go to Fordham now, instead of having to transfer there next year

With reasons why the staff feels he won't develop enough?  I think schools like Pitt are deep enough that they are willing to take a risk on his potential.  And maybe we cannot.

Dave - you may be right, though who knows how good he will be by the time he's a junior. All that being said, where are the better 2014 alternatives?

Think I read he had 6 points in the championship game. 6 points?

Clearly not a star, nor will he have immediate impact, but as Mkras said, what's the alternative?

No one thinks he's that good right now. It's about projecting a year or 3 from now. That is something this staff has to start doing a better job of. So far they haven't brought in one player that has grown in 4 years.

If we are going to be successful in the future, it's because we are developing players and finding kids who aren't immediate stars in their mind. If you have a big kid who is hungry and motivated to get better, you take him and work with him.
