What????
@EvanDanielsFOX: Angel Delgado just verbally committed to Kevin Willard and Seton Hall. He confirmed the news from the Dominican Republic.
So here is a kid who would have gotten immediate playing ( starting ) time with the graduation of Sanchez, and wanted to stay local and we couldn't get him over Seton Hall? Still think there is no cause for concern? Ouch
We didn't offer. We had mild interest. Still shocked he chose Seton Hall though.
Don't get the mild interest. He had rave reviews at all of the camps and regularly outplayed bigger named opponents.
Doesn't change the fact that he's a 6'6" PF with limited offensive game. He sounds like an effort machine, ergo the rebound stats. Staff must not have thought it would translate to the next level or lost track chasing the bigger fish that they though would be more impactful. It'll be interesting to see how he does and if he succeeds I think we're all glad it'll be in the BE.
Agree with your post, austour.
I think he could find his way to the NBA, but it would be after 4 years of college. He's all-effort and motor at this juncture. He has a nose for the ball and plays tough. Very, limited offensively, as you've stated. He also still has trouble consistently converting around the basket.
I would've certainly taken him, but he wasn't in our plans, as I previously mentioned. Frankly, it's not a biggie. A "biggie" was missing out on Abu.
