7 On List For Wiry Forward
Adrian Joseph, a wiry and bouncy 6-7, 195 pound rising senior combination forward from Bergen Catholic H.S. in Oradell, N.J., expects to attend high school for two more years.
Although he's listed as a rising senior, Joseph told the Insiders Report/Rivalshoops.com that he will likely do a prep year in 2003-2004 after finishing up at Bergen Catholic in the 2002-2003 school year.

A native of San Fernando, Trinidad, Joseph became eligible at Bergen Catholic in January, helping the Crusaders reach the final four of the New Jersey State Tournament of Champions.
Joseph is a live body who can explode around the tin for a dunk, but he's equally comfortable out on the perimeter, where he can knock down the short-midrange jumper with varying consistency.
Joseph told the Insiders Report that he has seen early interest from Notre Dame, Boston University, New Hampshire, Bucknell, Fairfield, Princeton and Rider.
This past season at B.C., he averaged 10 points, six rebounds and four blocks per contest. He said he has an 86 average in the classroom and has already scored a 1080 on the PSAT.
Joseph plans on playing with the Bronx Gauchos this summer, and we will keep you posted on his progress in the weeks to come.
