I just think he's a BAMF cause he has sparty on his arm ^_^

SCOTT'S BLOATED LIVER · 03-18-2008, 06:53 PM

So will Morgan slide over to the 4 so Roe can be on the floor @ the same time? Both of these guys on the floor at the same time will be scary

I'd probably throw Morgan at the 3 and Roe at the 4.

Jersey Spartan · 03-18-2008, 07:21 PM

With his injury people have seemed to forget about him. Big mistake. This guy is a baller.

Randolph Junuh · 03-18-2008, 07:43 PM

How about we get his nickname started right now. Death Roe.

They are about the same height and weight...but Delvon has more of an inside game than Raymar. He's not going to be out there on the perimeter putting up jumpshots as much as he's going to be trying to muscle inside.

Engs2525 · 03-18-2008, 08:23 PM

I haven't been reading up on his injury since last year. What's the latest?

Injured Delvon Roe invited to Jordan Brand game

Michigan State signee Delvon Roe, who injured his knee in the first game of the season and underwent microfracture surgery, has been named to the Jordan Brand All-American game set to be televised April 19 on ESPN2. "Everybody understands that Delvon will go but won't be able to play," St. Edward coach Eric Flannery told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "It's a great honor for him.

He's doing great. He's going through full rehabilitation and he's walking without a limp, without crutches. If it was somebody else, maybe they'd move the rehab along quicker, but you want to proceed at a pace that keeps in mind what the future might hold for Delvon."

Sure he has more muscle but Morgan plays right about to his height.

Because of his length, Roe is able to play to the height of about a 6'10" kid.

There's a reason why Jason Maxiel at 6'5" is able to play the PF position in the NBA and it's largely because of his 7'5" wingspan. Length is such underrated and often over-looked God-given gift in basketball. If I was a college basketball recruiter, I'd focus much more on quickness and length instead of vertical hops and height.

Trevor Barnes · 03-19-2008, 11:16 AM

So, who is this Roe kid anyway?

DantonIzzo · 03-19-2008, 11:18 AM

That dunk was/is still one of the best facials I've ever seen.

After watching the replays, I'm amazed that wasn't an And-1.

Hightower must've been refing that game.

AND I believe that dunk was after his injury.

newlander · 03-24-2008, 10:58 PM

think this guy could be as good as I do? If healthy, he has as much raw ability as any Spartan EVER: including Magic and JRich. Nuts I know, but I saw the game on ESPN2 earlier this season and I was just like..............

Man among boys that's for sure. Anyone have a definative update from his blog or anything on that injury? Just wondering..........if he has to sit out his freshman year then so be it..........as his coach said he has such a great future, I'm sure they're being extra cautious. I wonder if Oden's surgeon/rehab is the same as Roe's, or even Amare Stoudamire. I noticed Stoudamire is really rolling now that he's all the way back from it. It's a nasty injury, but it seems that they're starting to make headway on repairing and rehabbing these types of things............

sounds like great kid...

TripleGreen · 04-18-2008, 06:56 PM

Check it out folks. Delvon's re-hab is going great. He plans on being ready by June and is apparently up to 228 (up 8 lbs from this past season) and plans to gain another 10 before the college season begins. His time off from competitive ball has allowed him to hit the weights and work on his jumper, which has reportedly become reliable even from 3 point land.

Wouldn't that be nice.

**** yea

queencityspartan · 04-19-2008, 11:43 AM

It sure would be nice if he came to campus a full 6' 9". Don't know why it is, but there seems to be a big difference in my mind between 6' 8", 225 lbs. and 6' 9", 225 lbs. All told though, this kid seems to be the total package. Smarts and athletic ability. I hope his knee is 100%. He is probably the biggest hyped bball player to be recruited to campus since Magic. A lot of buzz around this kid.
