6-10 2014 center Ruben Guerrero

[Vega]

Evan Daniels â€@EvanDaniels 

Ruben Guerrero, a 6-foot-10 big man out of Sunrise Christian, is currently on an official visit to South Florida, per a source.


The bottomline is we need a backup center badly. If he can rebound and half defend he will be useful. Omogbehin needs to be moved on as he cannot play at this level and is simply taking up a scholarship from someone that can possibly contribute.

 

Not sure if he has an offer yet though, maybe he gets one before he leaves if Coach O like what they see.

Was that source Hem??

 

Where in the heck did this guy come from? What's the connection ... looked at a few sites and didn't see how he could be linked to either of the COA's or RS.

He's a native of Spain, so I suspect our coach would know about potential Hispanic talent.

BTW, I only looked at the box score of one game he played and he went 9 for 9 from the FT line!

This is presumably about him in the news recently. Unfortunately, I don't read Spanish.

• Rubén Guerrero, al fondo, con la selección española.

El marbellí Rubén Guerrero ha entrado en la preselección que ha realizado la Federación Española de Baloncesto de cara al próximo Europeo sub'20 que se celebrará en Grecia del 8 al 20 de julio. El jugador, que ha emigrado esta temporada a Estados Unidos, ya consiguió la temporada pasada con el equipo español sub'18 el bronce en el Europeo de Letonia.

Rubén Guerrero continúa quemando etapas a velocidad vertiginosa en su formación. El jugador marbellí, que emigró este verano a Estados Unidos para jugar en la Sunrise Christian Academy, forma parte de la preselección española que disputará el Europeo sub'20 de Grecia.

El seleccionador español Jaume Ponsarnau ha incluido al pívot marbellí de 2,09 en esta primera lista junto a otros 19 jugadores nacidos entre 1994 y 1995.

De hecho Rubén Guerrero es uno de los benjamines del equipo puesto que aún tiene 18 años. La evolución del marbellí en Estados Unidos está siendo más que notable y ya son varias las universidades que han puesto sus ojos en este joven pívot.

Aunque aún queda mucho para que la Federación Española de Baloncesto anuncie la lista definitiva de jugadores, el seleccionador español ha asegurado que "formaremos un equipo nuevo en el que se unirá el talento de los referentes de la generación del 94 con la demostrada capacidad competitiva de los del 95".

El resto de los convocados son: Alberto Díaz, Alberto Martín, Josep Pérez, Adrián Chapela, Xavier Assalit, Darío Brizuela, Agustí Sans, Oriol Pauli, Alberto Abalde, Ander Martínez, Javier Marín, Albert Horns, Juan Hernán-Gómez, Edgar Vicedo, José I. Nogués, Sebastián Saiz, Guillermo Hernán-Gómez, Ilmane Diop y David Iriarte.

Ponsarnau ha insistido que "un campeonato sub'20 se convierte en un reto de altísimo nivel porque todos los jugadores tienen ya experiencia acumulada en ateriores campeonatos internacionales. Por lo tanto a la dureza física y al talento de cada uno debemos sumar grandes dosis de fortaleza mental".

El equipo español se concentrará el 14 de junio para preparar el Europeo de Grecia que se celebra del 8 al 20 de julio. España ha quedado encuadrado en el Grupo B junto a Eslovenia, Serbia y Alemania.

El conjunto sub' 20 buscará volver a ganar un título que ya ganó en 2011. En los dos últimos europeos de la categoría España ha concluido en tercera posición

Another player Indiana has checked in on recently is Ruben Guerrero, a 6-10 center who plays at Sunrise Christian in Wichita, Kan. Guerrero is familiar with Sebastian Saiz, a 6-8 freshman at Ole Miss, who also left Spain to attend at Sunrise Christian.

 

"Sebastian helped us recruit him here," said Kyle Lindsted, the head coach at Sunrise Christian. "We've had some kids from Spain so we have some contacts. It's always a bit of a culture shock and takes a while to get used to the physicality of the game here, but he's a very bright kid and he gets it in a lot of ways."

 

Lindsted said a lot of high-major programs were interested in Guerrero when he first arrived, then backed off a bit when it appeared he was still finding his way physically. But Guerrero has improved steadily throughout the season and has gained about 20 pounds since his arrival six months ago.

 

"His recruitment is really crazy right now," Lindsted said. "He played really well in an ESPNU game and that's when schools like Indiana started showing more interest. There's interest from mid-major schools all the way to the high-major elite schools. Big men in this class at this stage are really hard to find. We're going to let the smoke clear a little bit and then try to start mapping out some visits."

 

Lindsted called Guerrero an "athletic guy and very smart" but added that he has work to do offensively.

 

"He's not bad offensively, but he needs to get better on the block," he said. "I'd say right now he's a face-up (power forward). He has to get better on the block and continue to get stronger."

Coach Oliver Antigua said USF would search high and low for talent, in the US and around the globe. The video I saw of him showed that he can finish well at the rim with the gorilla two handed slam he had. He seems to be smart and can and will pass out the double team or to a teammate for a better shot. He also appears to have good technique blocking shots and help defense. That's what I noticed in the short video I watched. There were two other players on that team, one signed with Arizona and the other signed with Michigan St. That particular team seems like one of those that gets good talent from all over to transfer in and play there, definitely a program to keep an eye on for the future.

I remember watching Sunrise Christian play against Arlington Country Day (UF signee Brandone Francis' team) and thinking that after the pg who is going to MSU he was the best player in the court. I was very impressed with him. I don't remember who ACD had down low but for a perennial bball power house in florida they could not stop him.

We need another 4/5 type player with Rudd and now Leday leaving.
