Class of 2015 Chris Silva

[tee1222]

Jimmy knows better than anyone and everyone. One of the reasons I've never been a real fan. Roberson should be a regular off the bench earlier and now its improbable because its crunch time as March rapidly approaches. Sure Jimmy you always know better than everyone. Lets see if he can take two from Krzyzewski this year and maybe the playoffs You gotta be in dream land to think that will happen.

Pinch me. And don't worry, we'll get there with Roberson. Just a matter of time.

Oh word? Beast like.

As Thomas Bryant would say "GIMME THAT ."

Love Robe - just makes too many defensive mistakes. Kid will be a beast next season!

Silva has 12 points, 6 rebounds, 2 three pointers, Bullock had 15 and Briscoe 13 as Roselle Catholic defends their division title Non Public South B and move onto the TOC.

From the article

"Silva, who didn't have a point or a rebound in the first quarter, scored on a one-handed, crowd-pleasing dunk, which sparked his team on his first basket with 4:35 in the half. Still down nine with 38 seconds in the half, Silva hit a 3-pointer with 38 seconds to cut the gap to six.

"Chris is a high-energy kid,'' Roselle Catholic coach Dave Boff said of Silva. "We talked to him after the first quarter about his energy and told him he needed to pick it up. When he's just out there jogging around, we're average.

In the fourth quarter, Tahir Pretlow (eight points, four offensive rebounds) scored on a big follow, Bullock hit another 3, Silva scored a bucket and a foul shot, David hit five of seven free throws and Gist scored on what proved to be the game-winner as Roselle Catholic turned in a total team effort."

Silva quick vid. Vicious block. Monster dunk.

In the game I watched Silva in person earlier this season, he had a great motor, rebounded like a beast and seemed more of a 4/5 hybrid...I think he has the lateral mobility to be a wing for us but he doesn't have much offense yet.

Silva and RC are tied with St Ant's late in the third. Live blog here.
This is for the "B" title (each team has a North or South title to their name already) and 1 of 6 TOC slots, both Non-Public slots get a first round bye if it works the way it did last year. End wacky NJ tourney seeding rant.

 

[tee1222]

5 minutes left, St. Anthony up 1.

 

[tee1222]

Bullock tied it at 50, Briscoe just put RC up 3 with an and one coming.

 

[tee1222]

Less than a minute left, RC with a one point lead...

 

[tee1222]

Roselle Catholic repeats the Non-Public B title winning 60-57. They took back the lead late in the game. St. Joseph's (Met) also won so there is a decent chance the two teams meet in the TOC final to repeat last year's final.

 

[tee1222]

That's exactly two wins away for Silva, Gist and Bullock to attain something special and probably rare, aside from a few St. Anthony teams over the years: Back to Back State Titles.

 

[tee1222]

Box here
Silva contributes 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks. Briscoe with 24, 8 rebounds, 5 dimes, 2 steals and a block, Bullock has at least his third straight quality outing with 14 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal. Gist chipped in 11 and 2 assists.

I was incorrect about the first round byes. There is a voting system for this and RC draws the 3 seed. They can still meet St. Joseph Metuchen to recreate last year's final.

Wasn't Roberson a glass hog in high school?

Yes and Jimmy's eyes are going much faster than his retirement announcement.

Wha?

Silva plans to make a college choice next month. Obviously it won't be SU, but he should be a nice addition for somebody.

 

[tee1222]

Silva committed to South Carolina today, over Seton Hall and Rhode Island. Great athlete, decent shot blocker. Solid land for them.

Good pickup for them. Poor job by the Jersey schools not keeping him local.

That's just the problem. It's Jersey.
I would rock right down to South Carolina if I had the choice. In fact, Francis, why are you moving back and why am I staying? haha
