Romaro Gill and basketball did not cross paths until he was a senior in high school. It was then the 7-2, 255-pound Seton Hall center decided to give basketball a shot in his final year at St. Thomas Technical High School in Jamaica.
“I played cricket for four years in high school,” Gill said. “My high school didn‘t have basketball until my final year so cricket was my thing.”
The Pirates can be thankful that there is not a crying need for 7-2 cricket players these days. But there is for a 7-2 defensive menace and the Pirates are reaping the benefits of Gill’s play this season as he is a big part of the reason Seton Hall is ranked in the AP Top 10 for the first time in two decades.
