Delvon Roe, 6-7, F, Lakewood, Ohio

Summer team: King of the Court Shooting Stars (Nike)
Schedule: LeBron Academy, Main Event, AAU 19-and-unders
Skinny: I'm not quite ready to say that Roe is the best frontcourt player Tom Izzo has recruited to East Lansing, but it may not be too long before that becomes conventional wisdom. There's almost nothing this kid can't do. He has the size and athleticism to be a factor underneath, but he shoots and slashes like a two-guard. Roe was the leading scorer at the USA Basketball festival (30.3 ppg), and overall I thought he was the second-best player behind Monroe. The fact that Roe played so hard so consistently leads me to believe that he's the type of player who will work hard to make himself better.

Delvon Roe, 6-8 combo forward, St. Edward (OH), 2008, committed to Michigan State: Another kid who looks better in more of a structured environment, the workhorse couldn’t really get his game going in such an up-and-down, guard-dominated atmosphere. Trust me, Roe will look much better when you see him suit up in the Big Ten.

After losing to Moeller in last year's state semifinal, St. Edward's Delvon Roe looks to carry his team to the top this season.

By Ryan Canner-O'Mealy, Special to SI.com, RISE

St. Edward (Lakewood, Ohio) boys' basketball coach Eric Flannery had yet to get over the sting of his team's upset loss to Moeller in last year's Division I state semifinals when his cell phone buzzed with an incoming text message that same night.

"I'm going to win you a state championship next year." Flannery knew immediately it was from his star forward, Delvon Roe, then a junior. In the aftermath of the worst loss of his young career, Roe was showing the maturity and quiet strength that has defined him since he arrived at St. Edward as a freshman.

Roe, who's rated the nation's No. 9 recruit in the Class of 2008 by RISE, put the blame on himself. As the team's star, he felt it was his responsibility to have everyone prepared down the stretch of the 67-60 defeat to Moeller, a loss that ended St. Edward's bid for a perfect season at 25-1.

St. Edwards won in overtime 78-73. Roe finished with 17 points, 10 boards, and 4 assists. I watched a little bit of this game, Izzo has a good ball player that will make some noise.

Izzo was smiling on the sidelines . Roe can jump like heck and that dunk he had on a player was really nice

The 08' class for Ohio could go down as the best ever...

I mean Mullens, Roe, Bufurd, Freese....

One state just doesnt produce like that in a year...

IMO there are 3 top 10 players in the country right there...

All could be talked about as lottery picks if they could come out of high school.

He didn't shoot very well and got outplayed by the big guy in the middle going to Indiana (forgot his name).

Jrue Holiday looked VERY good.
