Roe comments on the situation at tOSU and the fact the talent coming to Columbus does not make him think twice about tOSU, winning is the most important thing in his mind. Roe's visits will tell the story in my opinion. Michigan, Ohio State, Florida, Miami and North Carolina are in line for visits.

Nike All-America Camp: Sunday

7/14/06

INDIANAPOLIS -- The final day at the Nike All-America Camp was highlighted by tournament games in the morning and afternoon and capped off with a pair of All-Star games at night. Here were the players and stories that stood out on the final day of competition.
Five on the Rise

1. Delvon Roe, St. Edward (Lakewood, Ohio)
Roe is an ultra-athletic 6-foot-7 forward who excels in an open-court game. In the Underclassmen All-Star Game, the rising junior was able to show off all his run-and-gun abilities. Roe finished in the lane and hit from beyond the arc as he scored his team's first seven points and finished with 15 to help lead his team to a 105-96 win. For his efforts, Roe copped co-MOP honors.

Recruits Not Concerned With Sanctions Against IU's Sampson
Coach is prohibited from making recruiting trips and calling players


July 14, 2006
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -Forward Delvon Roe hasn't met with Kelvin Sampson yet, but he already knows what Indiana can offer - a chance to join the school's long basketball tradition and possibly playing right away.

If he needs any more information, the high school junior is willing to wait.

"I'm getting very interested in Indiana," Roe said last week. "It's a basketball state, and if you're a player who loves the game, you want to be in a basketball state."

Roe, at 6-foot-7, 214 pounds, is considered one of America's top juniors and lists Florida, Miami, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State and Indiana among his favorite schools.

But in a recruiting world where the most minute details can suddenly become major factors in making a choice, Sampson's NCAA sanctions might appear to hurt the Hoosiers' chances of landing top recruits.

Don't bet on it yet.

Although Sampson is prohibited this year from making recruiting trips and calling players, most of Indiana's top targets at last week's Nike All-America Camp said the restrictions will not significantly influence their decisions.

"I already know everything about the university," said Robbie Hummel, a 6-7 forward from Valparaiso. "I've watched his (Sampson's) teams play. I don't really think it's much of a factor."

Of course, some players might have been avoiding controversy to keep the Hoosiers interested, and the first real signs should start coming soon.

Hummel is expected to announce whether he will attend Indiana or Purdue at a Monday news conference. Some believe he is leaning toward the Boilermakers although Hummel did not indicate that during last week's camp.

East Chicago's E'twaun Moore, another Indiana recruit, also is believed to be leaning toward Purdue.

Roe, who led his high school team - Lakewood St. Edward near Cleveland - in scoring and rebounding each of the past two seasons, likely won't make a decision before this fall.

Roe is participating this weekend at the Triple “S” Harley Jam Fest on the campus of West Virginia. On Saturday, Roe was watched by Thad Matta, Tom Izzo, and staffs from Indiana, Michigan and Cincy. Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State and Illinois seem to be heavily involved with Roe at this point.

Roe has been contacted by recent Michigan verbal Alex Legion.

Well, since Legion de-committed from Michigan before committing (again) to Michigan, I'm not sure how strong an endorsement he can make. He can claim that, as of now, there's a chance that they could be teammates...that is, if Legion doesn't change his mind again.

Lot's of action on Roe now, no doubt. Good thing he's got plenty of time to think things through and make the right decision! (:gobucks3::gobucks4:)

Looks like it is shaping up to be a battle between Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State. Michigan has been recruiting Roe the longest and never count out Tom Izzo, he is a great recruiter, it should be interesting to say the least. I like our chances with Matta winning this one in the end. :biggrin:

If for some reason Roe decides to go elsewhere, we may have a shot at Yancey Gates. Its nice to have options.

College coaches flock to see St. Ed's Roe
Sunday, July 23, 2006
Eddie Dwyer
Plain Dealer Reporter
Two weeks ago, St. Edward's Delvon Roe was honing his skills in the Eagles' gymnasium.

It was nothing special or out of the ordinary for Roe and his coach, Eric Flannery. It was just Roe being Roe - striv ing to improve every facet of his game on a humid summer night.

But just another workout? No, not as far as some of the most prominent college basketball programs in the nation were con cerned.

When the 6-8, 220-pound Roe works on his game, many of the college coaching profession's biggest names are willing to change their schedules and head for the Catholic school in Lakewood.

"They just came to watch him work out, say hello and let him know they were there," said Flannery, referring to Ohio State's Thad Matta, Michigan's Tommy Amaker, Michigan State's Tom Izzo, Illinois' Bruce Weber, Cleveland State's Gary Waters and Billy Donovan of the national champion Florida Gators.

Roe, who will enter his junior year next month, already has been offered scholarships from a who's who list of schools, including Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Illinois, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Pittsburgh and North Carolina. He said he would like to make his college decision by the end of his junior season, emphasizing that Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State will be at the top of his list.

The Plain Dealer caught up with Roe last week as the 16-year-old post/forward was on his way to AAU tournaments in Las Vegas and Florida.

Qs you prepare for a new season, and reflect on last March, do you and your teammates look at it as unfinished business?

Absolutely! You could say we did a pretty good job (13 consecutive victories) until that game (a stunning loss to Strongsville in the Sweet 16). But everybody is always going to remember the game you lost, not the ones you won.

Qave you put an emphasis this off-season on adding some weight and getting stronger?

Aeah, a lot. At the end of last season I was 210. So I have gained 10 pounds. But I want to be 225, maybe 230. I do it mostly every day, about five to six hours - lift weights for legs and upper body, run hills and do defensive slides up the hills to improve my footwork and quickness, and swim some laps up at Memorial Park ( in Euclid).

Qou have attended so many prestigious camps this summer, including the Nike All-American camp and the NBA Top 100 camp. What was your most memorable experience?

Ahe NBA camp in Richmond (Va.) was a great camp. There was a lot of talking and education, which are good things. You played basketball, which they all know you can do. But they wanted to mature you off the court. They taught me a lot about college (recruiting) rules.

Qave you had the opportunity to meet LeBron James, and did he give you any advice?

Aeah, I played with LeBron a lot last summer during open gyms at the University of Akron and St. Vincent-St. Mary. He told me to keep working hard and to keep my head on straight. Oh, and he joked about me going (to St. Ed). He said if you want to be a wrestler and win the state, go there. But if you want to win state in basketball, you should have gone to St. V.

At the NIKE Main Event tournament in Las Vegas.....Roe has been closely watched by Tommy Izzo, Roy Williams, Bruce Weber, Jim Calhoun, Tommy Amaker, and Thad Matta among others. Roe will visit Michigan State, Michigan, and Ohio State in August and he is looking at these three schools the most. He may possibly take unofficial visits to Florida, Miami, and UConn.
