7'0" 332lb center 04-rock At first, I thought this was a football recruit.

Big man Adonis De La Rosa to transfer from St. John's
By Carmine Carcieri on Apr 21, 2015

" 6'10" big man Adonis De La Rosa has decided to transfer from St. John's after not playing a single minute last season due to NCAA eligibility issues (partial qualifier and could only practice).

The Bronx native and 14th ranked recruit in New York for 2014 is a solid rebounder and physical presence in the paint but the knock on De La Rosa has been his conditioning".

Is he eligible immediately? Or does he have to sit?

He and oUP's fat boy can hang out together at the Evergreen Buffet.

Why Kent has so much trouble recruiting decent big men is a continuing mystery to me. And I don't mean the 6-7 or 6-8 power forwards we always wind up with. Plenty of low-major teams have genuine bigs that would look good in a Kent uniform. Why can't we get them?

Look around ... what's left after the big boys get theirs are either skinny as rails or big as whales, can't run or can't catch. Can't rebound or can't shoot.

You have to either build them up, or slim them down. The key is a redshirt freshman year ... and few mid-majors have that luxury when any servicable big man gets on campus ...

The Record-Courier reports that Adonis De La Rosa has verballed. I wonder who gets elbowed out?

Before De La Rosa, next year's roster just had 2 guys over 210 pounds, Davis and Jimmy Hall. I don't know if I'd expect him to play a lot of minutes, but it looks like he could get be in the rotation inside.

I heard a rumor from a former OSU player. That OSU PG AJ Harris from Dayton Dunbar is thinking of transferring to KSU.

Hopefully Adonis can be in Kent all summer and get into playing shape. Also, here's to hoping that he is closer to 280lbs than 332lbs, as he is listed as both and anything in between on different websites.
