SHU's Angel Delgado not expected to return to college

[G- RUnit]

It's a big loss and he was indeed a great dominant college player.

Arkansas was not a bad loss at all. SEC was under rated. Again for all the weak bubble talk South Carolina made it to the final four! Fla was better than people thought. Arkansas as well. Mississippi beat the Cuse at the Dome in the NIT. Kentucky was a basket or two away.

He was a kid with an NBA body and tremendous upside. Should have stayed in school for another year but going overseas is not a bad living if that's what he does. It's a big loss for them but you have to replace talent and I'm sure they will

We should remember that in December at the PRU Center i think we led until about 2:20 was left in the game. We led by about 8 at the half. We came out determined. I am not saying we will win this coming December but the game will be at the RAC and we must bring one outstanding effort again. I think the RAC will be rocking. Hopefully we will add one or two contributing players to our roster for the coming season.

This is not a huge loss for them....he is a solid college player, gobbles up a lot of rebounds, but is not a game changing recruit that is irreplaceable, like an Isaiah Whitehead....they obviously need a big that can play some meaningful minutes inside and grab a few rebounds, but there is no true size in the Big East that is anything close to the Big Ten, night in and night out.....they can replace Delgado with a safe/solid grad that just needs to play defense and rebound and kick the ball out to their shooters.

It just changes how they have to play and Delgado was an OK post player, but not to be confused with Haas or Swanigan of Purdue, Thomas Bryant at Indiana or the monsters at Michigan State in Nick Ward and Miles Bridges....Ethan Happ is a closer comparison to Delgado and I think Happ is a better player by a lot on the offensive end....RU saw players most nights in the B1G, just as good if not much better than Delgado, that were more difficult matchups

RU will have their work cut out for them vs SHU at the RAC....they have seniors that can score, shoot and are experienced....

This is absolutely insane. You think there's some grad transfer lying around that can be first team all conference? Guy was a walking double double. Delgado perfectly fits that fantastic college player, minimal NBA potential mold. He just doesn't have the size or athleticism to reach that level. Doesn't take away the fact that he is a monster at the college level.

Now it is being reported that Delgado just might stay at SHU.

I am very upset about this news.

Nah, not really.

How ya doin'?

If he stays he runs the risk of injury, but absent that, he gets a degree, probably gets SHU to the Dance, and maybe entices Duval to play his one & done year as a Pirate. On the other hand, he leaves, goes across the pond, gets paid well and perhaps develops enough to get a back-up spot on an NBA roster. If he intends to live in his native Dominican Republic, I would think playing several years overseas would enable him to live a comfortable lifestyle there.

Someone who cares about him should tell him to play one more year in college at SHU.
It's best for his long term interests.

Would it be a hoot for him to stay for his senior year and the next day Duval announces for SHU.
