    NEPTUNE, N.J. — Ronald Roberts is a 6-foot-7 rising senior small forward from St. Peter’s Prep in Jersey City who is long and athletic and compares himself to Rudy Gay.

    Marcus Toney-El, the former Seton Hall star, is coaching Roberts this summer with the Playaz Basketball Club.

    “Ronald plays hard, he’s athletic,” Toney-El said. “Obviously, he could jump, dunk the basketball, block shots. He’s been working on his ball-handling, been working on about 15-18 foot shot so his game is definitely developing. Assuming he doesn’t grow anymore, he has to play the three.”

    Numerous Big East and other coaches have been scouting Roberts this summer.

    “The most love is Indiana, Providence, Rutgers, St. Joe’s, Penn State, Villanova, Notre Dame and Maryland,” Roberts said.

    “I want to take a visit to Indiana, Providence and St. Joe’s. I want to go over to Penn State.”

    Asked about Rutgers he said, “We’ll see what happens.”
