6 points, 16 rebounds.

He's done for the day.

Pope John pulled away last two quarters, final score 72-40. Box will be here.

Thanks King Tee and CG for the updates.

Thanks King Tee and CG for the updates.

You got it, my man. Next up, some of NJ's best guards in Briscoe, Duval, Gist and others. I hope Duval goes ballistic.

The "IF" on Bryant is seemingly not going to happen. If he was coming to the Orange it would be OUT by now. INHO.

Even if there was a scholarship available for him at the moment, this statement lacks any logic. He hasn't committed to SU yet. so it's never going to happen, yet he hasn't committed to UK yet, either. So the only conclusion is that he's going to end up at UK? :noidea:

Calapari promises riches and fame if a high level prospect elects to go to Kentucky.$ is the number one goal for many of these kids who may have come from families that lacked this benefit. Its easy to understand and why they flock to Kentucky.Calaperi is the "Shady" Schiano of basketball. There was talk about another recruit from Jimmy. Speculation that it was in fact Bryant was rampant here and elsewhere. I'm not buying into thathis. It would have leaked by now.

There is no scholarship available for him at SU at the moment. There is nothing to leak.

Just a positive for Diagne, as mentioned he had 16 rebounds but also had 4 blocks and an assist. When in doubt, protect the rim!

Moustapha and Pope John lose to St. Benedict's Prep.
Diagne had 18 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks, but they had only one loss going into this game, so probably disappointed with the result despite his typical gaudy numbers.

At this point he projects to be very helpful to the team nxt year. Lydon and cooney on the floor should provide some quality outside the arc points The returning player which number high and the new kids in town make for a fun season next year. If Bryant joins the Orange its a lock for another chance for the "FF" I kind of doubt that DC2 will be a factor He says his therapy and recovery is doing well and reports are that he participates in practice but like CC Sabathia the wear and tear on his legs have taken its toll and I think that he may "retire from the game". He has youth going for him so that might be the caveat in this.

He raw!

Are you quoting two3zone or Biancardi?

Are you quoting two3zone or Biancardi?

Why can't it be both.

All the foolish ones.

It might be that Diagne is the catalyst that this team doesn't have at this time,although Rak is doing his best without a whole lot of help

Look for PJ and Diagne to get back on track tonight with a league game tonight against Mount Olive, who they already beat convincingly at Mount Olive.

I'll bet the farm a certain moose is running fairly loose.

 

[tee1222]

No stats, but PJ beat Mount Olive 83-56

They are facing Blair Academy tonight at 6:30 with live updates here
Blair's a decent squad this year, so it should be a good one.

 

[tee1222]

From the Mount Olive game
http://highschoolsports.nj.com/game/score/2508659/
Diagne had 14 points, 11 boards, 3 assists ( ), 1 block, 1 steal

 

[tee1222]

Last night, Blair Academy gets payback as they bottle up the mini moose and Pope John
Big man had 7 points, 10 rebounds, 1 block and hit a long ball.
From the write up, looks like Blair's coach has them playing terrific help defense. Doesn't mean he didn't have a bad night on top of that.

Pope John downs Sparta 45-26. Stats to follow but get this. They goose egged Sparta in the first frame. Since Diagne typically anchors the back line, I'm going out on a limb to predict he was responsible for the beast like behavior.

Huge dunk for Diagne after a big three from Zignorski. 52-44 PJ with 5:09 left
"
Someone on that live conversation thinks he has at least 16 points. Against the big name in Diallo, no less.

 

[Whitey23]

@SteveKellerNRR: In Battle of big men Cheick Diallo finished with 10/11/4 blocks while Mustafa Diagne had 9/12/2 blocks. Cheick just a little taller & faster

@J_Schneider: FINAL: Pope John holds on for 64-61 win over Our Savior New American. FTs from Zignorski ice it http://t.co/FoFfyCjfC0 #NJhoops #PJvsOSNA

 

[Whitey23]

@TheBBallDiary: Well that didn't happen! Check Diallo failed dunk on Moustapha Diagne.
