ADR transferring

Does JDR have any eligibility left? I thought he was done.
If this was the NBA we would be "eating" ADR's contract.

I still don't understand JDR's situation. Didn't he transfer here as a graduate to play his final season?
 
In spite of what many wanted to believe, the kid was simply not a high D1 talent coming out of CTK. Lavin did the kid no favors by bringing him here. I sincerely hope that he has his academics in order and that the kid makes a serious commitment to losing weight and to working on his conditioning, If he does not, he will never suit up for a college team at any level.

If he was eligible last year, he would've had plenty of minutes. Not saying he doesn't belong elsewhere, but that's a fact. Lavin played his less skilled brother, as we all know wasn't too good.

How could something that you're speculating about be a fact? Here's a fact: the numerous times that I saw ADR last year I found him to be in worse shape then the countless times I saw him play at CTK the previous 2 years. Now that's a fact.

Maybe not a fact, but when Dom is playing center because Obekpa is in foul trouble, I'm thinking ADR would get minutes. And this was a problem all season long, no? Do you think JDR would've been playing at all if ADR was eligible?

IMO JDR gave us far more than ADR would have given us had he been eligible.

C'mon Monte. This is crazy. Joey busted his tail and his effort and attitude were amazing, but he was one of the least skilled players I've ever seen. ADR has skill to spare, but his spare tire held him back. He will be a good one for somebody if he can drop some weight. I am high on him as a player, but this isn't heartbreaking. We all saw it coming with Sima and Owens added and Diallo and Yakwe being targeted. Mullin has a type of player in mind that ADR didn't quite fit.

We have plenty of openings now...no need to make any more room at all. I think Jones will transfer, but it's fine either way. We don't need the room.

IMO JDR gave us far more than ADR would have given us had he been eligible. FWIW we still don't know for certain that ADR wasn't eligible at some point. But I will say this much, I have never seen a kid as slow and as out of shape as ADR be able to play at this level. Simply put, he was in no shape to run up and down the court. Skills sets or not, if you can't get up and down the court you can't play.

If ADR was that fat and awful, then NYC hoops is in bad shape. Kid was 1st team NYC . Not saying I would want this kid playing, but did you see what Lav's was throwing out there in the paint last year?

Adonis has some OK skills, but lets not get carried away now. He is slow as molasses in both foot speed and reaction time. He should never have been recruited to play at this level. Have you ever seen Adonis play? And please stop with the "if only he can drop some weight". That's like saying I would have been a good college player if only I had grown 12" inches. For starters Adonis did drop some weight while at CTK, something like 100Lbs. Not to shabby. He worked prettty damn hard while he was there. So maybe, just maybe, he has peaked physically. Whatever it is, I am doubtful that we'll see him suit up anywhere anytime soon, if ever.

ADR rarely went up against anyone taller than 6'5" in his last 2 years at CTK, definitely down years for the CHSAA. I hear what you're saying about our shortage of skilled big men, but once again if he couldn't get up and down the court then he couldn't play. In any event, we'll never know since he either wasn't eligible, or he was eligible and Lavin choose to not play him,.

The couple times I watched him "jog" off the court at halftime, it was shocking.
Since that is all I can go on, would be a huge stretch for me to ever see him playing competitively at this level.
 
I agree with you guys. I thought he came in as a fifth year senior.

I actually think that he played 2 full years at FIU and the first semester of his Junior year. He then transferred here and was eligible the 2nd semester of his senior year. So he lost the 2nd semester of his junior year and the first semester of his senior year due to the transfer.
 
At least it can be said that this transfer spares us the repetitive posts about the kid's weight and lack of skills.

I hear you, never seen him play live. However, you think JDR provided better minutes than ADR could've? Done with fat, out of shape players, who can't stay eligible. I'm all about Sima!

I've never seen him play, but I'll take your word. He still would've played last year if he was eligible.
 
knew this would happen. wish him the best but he jus isn't in shape and I don't think Mullin is going to tolerate anyone being out of shape

As my good buddy often says, Round is a shape!!!

Best of luck to the both of them!

In terms of his ability, Monte appears to have watched ADR play more than anyone on our staff did, so I trust his opinion, which appears to be unbiased.

In terms of commenting in his weight and shape, that is truly something most of us have some expertise in. :)
 
I thought De La Rosa would be back. I thought a college athlete.would be able to put in the time to get in shape and become a contributor.

Disappointed a bit. When you are 7-feet, and with the deatth of quality big men, getting minutes would seem to be an easier road than if you were an overweight guard. But if Mullin demands the kids to be in shape, and ADR was lukewarm on that idea, it was the right move Oh well. Monte was right on this one.
 
I feel bad, but we needed the scholarship and I think it's ultimately what's best. I've got a feeling Sima is gonna lock down most of the minutes at center for the next few years. Not to make this about Sima (best of luck to the brothers!) but I think we stole a really good one in him.
