Anyone know how to purchase tickets for Friday night’s Non Public title game at RU Friday night? Bosco/Paul VI @ 5 PM. Could not find a link in NJSIAA site and although there was a callout on scarletknights.com - no link to purchase.

Side note — as a current sophomore, the 7-foot kid Keiner Asprilla is a no-go for me. He’s just tall, but doesn’t really have much skill at this point. VERY raw.

Things can change, but right now, it’s a no for me, dog.

i agree. bad hands and limited skills. big men should get an extra year in high school because they take much longer to develop.

He was awful today. Don't remember ever being impressed with him in the few DBP games I've watched this year

I played against Roy Hinson in HS. He was a sophomore at the time too. Asprilla is ahead of Roy in development at the same age. Let’s see what he looks like in a couple of years. Bigs, especially 7 foot plus 15/16 year olds take time to grow into their bodies. Now I am not saying he will be Roy Hinson, but let’s see before we write him off.
 
How was attendance? Any RU fans there? Riot Squad maybe.
Does the winner of Boys A play the winner of Boys B?

From the nj com feed, sideline seats on both sides were full, only one section of baseline seats were full with Bosco students.

No TOC this year. Would’ve been a great one with St Rose, Bosco, Arts/Camden, Lenape/Elizabeth, etc. Would like to see how good that Asbury Park charter school would be vs schools better than Pitman or Manville.

Would have been cool to at least be able to see Bosco play St. Rose.

Big men need special player development learning to catch/dribble the ball and making moves around the basket.Cliff and Johnson are classic cases at Rutgers.
 
Great job to whoever went. Friday 5pm is really tough timing. From NJ.com article:

“Half the fans (in the building) were Rutgers fans!” Dylan Harper said. “Seeing how much they’re coming out right now in high school — the RAC is going to be lit next year.”

No doubt. It’s why Matt Painter usually redshirts the 7-footers that he recruits every couple of years.
 
Why is there no TOC?
NJSIAA is why

They claims scheduling, yet at same time **** over all winter sports by condensing schedule for football

They also gave another reason - so vaginas were not hurt and good teams wouldn't have to end season with a loss.

And Zack Edey was a high school bust
Depends if you think he can be improved

Basically has the same game as that Purdue Center. Not sure exactly Kareem Abdul Jabbar out there. But he’ll get offers as long as he can walk and chew gum.

Excellent perspective.

What HS, MadRU? And did you play in college?
