Adonis sighting;

WEST HEMPSTEAD, NY - The NY Lightning would take on the NY Rens during 17U pool play on Saturday at the NYC Slam n' Jam Tournament at the Island Garden.

Angel Delgado led the NY Lightning with 15 points
Led by Angel Delgado, the Lightning would hold off a hard charging Rens team for the 60-52 win.

With St. John's assistant coach Tony Chiles and Fordham's head coach Tom Pecora and assistant coach Tom Parrotta looking on intently, the Lightning jumped out to an early 13-2 lead. Lightning's point guard duo Desure Buie and C.J. Davis provided nice passes inside for Delgado to post up and score. In addition Luis Montero also found himself open to slash at the rim or knock it down from the arc.

The game seemed to be en route to a potential blow-out but with 11 minutes left in the half, rising sophomore sensation Rawle Alkins came in the game and provided instant offense for Rens head Coach Artie Cox. With 6:34 remaining in the first half, an 11-5 run pulled the Rens with 5.

Fordham commit Eric Paschall finally began to counter from the perimeter to help stretch the Lightning's lead back out but an emphatic crowd pleasing dunk by Alkins on 6'8" Luis Santos' head left no doubt that the Rens, paced by PG Kevin Little, were not going to go away quietly.

Down 31-19 to begin the second half, the Rens tried to make a run to close the gap but an and-1 inside by 6'9" Jessie Govan along with a follow-up bucket by Delgado cushioned the Lightning by 16 points with 7:53 left to play.

Alkins began to once again take over the game, seemingly able to score at will and soon teammate Adonis Dela Rosa pitched in down low to help slice their deficit down to 10 points with 5:46 remaining. Alkins sprung two treys from deep plus another basket by Dela Rosa and the Lightning were suddenly only ahead 53-52 with 2:27 on the clock.

In the end, the Lightning's big men would come to the rescue throughout the game but especially in the final minute for head coach Shandue McNeil as Govan and Delgado hit clutch buckets to extend their lead to 5 points.

In the final seconds, the Rens were forced to foul and hope for Lightning not to strike free-throws but in this case, hope would not spring eternal.

Delgado was high man for the NY Lightning with 15 points with Govan and Montero dropping 13 and 12 points respectively. Alkins scored a game high 21 points for the NY Rens with Dela Rosa contributing 12 points. - See more at:http://nychoops.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1527066#sthash.wFW2XFxR.jf0jsefi.dpuf
 
“@phillipshoops: St. John's head coach Steve Lavin caught the 8 am NY Rens win over Houston Hoopstars. 2014 C Adonis Delarosa showed some upside. #Super64”
 
Adonis Delarosa -- 2014 -- C -- New York Rens 6'10" -- Christ the King H.S. -- New York, NY A massive presence in the post, Delarosa showed solid hands and good touch around the basket in the Rens morning win over Houston Hoopstars. Delarosa still needs to get into better game condition, but when he's able to establish his presence in the post he's tough to move on both ends. Delarosa protects and rebounds his area on defense and had a lot of positive post touches that drew fouls or double teams. - See more at:http://ny2lasports.com/article_one.aspx?articleid=1494#sthash.jxJUlNKj.HNmJShac.dpuf

Its a pay protected article. I only want to provide a snippet. And I know I can screenshot and black out stuff. But its not worth all that time :)
 
On Friday;
“@BFlinnFuture150: To answer people's questions: Yes St. John's was there watching 2014 Christ the King C Adonis De La Rosa. Hofstra there as well.”
 
“@Future150: 2014 Christ the King C Adonis De La Rosa lists offers from St. John's, Florida State, Georgetown, Fordham, Seton Hall, and Hofstra.”
 
@Future150: The big man went on to say that he will not take any visits until after he takes the SAT's in October. Could play out into the spring.
 
Hofstra? Wow...the last time they were relevant was when they had that Stokes kid that was supposed to go to the NBA...not sure if he ever did, but that was probably a good 10 yrs ago.

Speedy Claxton - CTK-Hofstra-Solid NBA Career but that was more than ten years ago. They also had Charles Jenkins from Queens who has been playing a little in the NBA the last two years.
