[BigBallin'4theFuture]

On a completely unrelated note, who are the newcomers in you guys' opinions that will have the most impact this season?

By newcomers I mean transfers, freshmen, and anyone who will be moved up from JV / Freshman teams.

Let's hear it :D

I DO know that Seven Hills got a 6'2 incoming Freshman transfer from Clark Montessori who is a BEAST. Their Jr. High team lost only one game LY (I believe) and he was their leading scorer.

[BigBallin'4theFuture]

How did you steal these guys from Walnut Hills? :stirthepot: :cool:

:cool: RIIIIGHT! From WALNUT to LOCKLAND? Surely....there were some OPTIONS IN BETWEEN the two schools.....I'm jus' SAYIN' here....:shrug: :angel: :)

If this is true, Seven Hills has reloaded very quickly. Drew Kohn is a huge loss. Nonetheless, Seven Hills has strong sophomores who may contribute on varsity, including Woodard-Hunter (I heard he threw one down in a JV game as a freshmen), Max Davis (Jake Davis's brother - not the scorer that Jake is but does a nice job of handling the basketball and playing under control), and Miles Hill (Alex Hill's brother and son of Willie Hill - fundamentally sound player who plays strong D). Since three starters from last year's team are only juniors this year (Chatfield, Schweitzer, and Jake Davis), Seven Hills should be very strong this year and next.

:cool: RIIIIGHT! From WALNUT to LOCKLAND? Surely....there were some OPTIONS IN BETWEEN the two schools.....I'm jus' SAYIN' here....:shrug: :angel: :)Aaah my dear, you haven't been paying close enough attention to the off season. A month or so ago it was mentioned on here that Walnut Hills had attained the basketball services of a few select young men from the Princeton school district. Now if you follow MVC sports you should also know that Lockland's AD has been very active since Lockland turned to "open enrollment. They seem to have a direct pipeline to athletes in Princeton's district. Hence we now have a battle between Walnut Hills and Lockland for Princeton's cast offs. :stirthepot: :cool:

Hmmmmm... seems awfully familiar...

[BadgerBoy]

Badger - I will be interested in seeing CCS play real basketball, and not that gimic basketball. They played like some of those DIII college teams. They played no defense and just tried to come down and out score you.

Last year CCS only had 4 basketball players on the floor, and they would just run out of gas.

I agree with you 100%! Undisciplined, poor fundamentals... a real lack of a winning spirit.

[BadgerBoy]

You must be happy now that Seven Hills has more transfers than any other school in the MVC, right? That's what you were worried about to begin with.

Anywhere in the nation from what I understand. There's no boundaries or certain district they have to live in. Whatever's good with the families transportation. :shrug:

:wallbang: Read the rule!!!!

I believe Seven Hills, only lost 3 seniors from last year. I do not know if Hill is going to bring a freshman right in the mix. Remember Hunter last season. Besides I saw Clark's junior high team. I do not remember seeing a guy that would play varsity ah SH right away.

Also I do not see Little Davis competing for a lot of minutes on varsity. You have a good group of junior and senior guards ahead of him.

:cool: RIIIIGHT! From WALNUT to LOCKLAND? Surely....there were some OPTIONS IN BETWEEN the two schools.....I'm jus' SAYIN' here....:shrug: :angel: :)

Like what, Aiken or Woodward, or any others? :angel:

Walnut got up out of there for a reason. :angel: Maybe they didn't want to ruin their reputation. :angel:

Ok, I'm done.

I agree. Good info Dubya-G. :thumb:

It's still going to be hard without a major scorer. Well, maybe not, Lockland didn't have one last year, and they went 19-1 (23-2). :shrug: It's just much nicer to have a go-to guy when it comes down to "crunch time".

Maybe it's because Princeton's school district is less than 30sec. away from Lockland HS? :shrug: And maybe it's because Lockland is the closest school to Princeton, and that they have open enrollment. :shrug:

Except they have a 20 ppg junior coming back who is the second leading returner in the conference:shrug: I think they will be ok...

If teams don't double him, then 7hills will be fine. If they do, who do they go to?

[mightymightyROW]

Anyone got specifics on the newcomers (if any) from Summit? CHCA? Seven Hills?

mightymightyROW, check post numbers 1,003 & 1,008 for Seven Hills.

[GDWG]

Anyone got specifics on the newcomers (if any) from Summit? CHCA? Seven Hills?

CHCA brings in a very strong junior class. Aside from starters Wes Carlson (13 ppg) and Will LoVellette (13 ppg), they have Ian Smith and Alec Swartz (both saw some varsity time last year and both are linchpins to the currently 5-0 Eagles football team), Andrew Wallace (tireless point guard who takes care of the ball), Joe Reifenberg (fall sport star in soccer and football and a strong defender in basketball), and Doyen Harris (football star and athlete who crashes the offensive and defensive glass). In addition, sophomore Aaron O'Neill will get strong consideration for varsity minutes.

Summit brings back varsity stars Khiry Hankins (senior) and Bradley Evans (junior). Evans currently is one of the leading receivers in the MVC. Sophomore Jack Gustafson showed a lot of poise last year as a varsity freshman; he will undoubtedly be counted on to be a strong contributor this season.

[Chickendinner]

i hear ccs got two or three transfers who are they?

[tucker]

doesn't summit have a big left handed kid who played jv last year?

[Eezy as 123]

I heard the Brandts kid at CCS had surgery recently, and might miss the season. :Ohno:

[tucker]

eezy, better think twice on your predictions.
i heard that new coach at cincinnati christian has brought in two missionary kids from australia and both are former members of an elite club team that was successful in junior olympic events. one 6'11 and the other about 6'3 to 6'5 who handles the ball like a pt gd and shoots from the 3 line like a shooting gd.

WTH?! :eek: You CAN'T be serious, right?

I was sitting next to 3 CCS members (not students; don't know who they were, but they all knew what they were talking about) at the Lockland/CCS football game last friday. They were all talking about the upcoming basketball season. They were talking about how Nate Brusman hasn't been practicing hard, and how the Brandts kid's injury is "day-to-day". Not one word was said about any new kids.

Can anyone back tucker up with this info? I know there's some CCS alumni with inside connections out there.

Two missionary kids from Australia who both played in the junior olympics and are 6'11" & 6'5" (so basically it's OJ Mayo & Keenan Ellis)? If this is true, the whole state isn't safe. :eek: They would even make New Knoxville look like the School of Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA). :laugh:

This CAN'T be true.

[tucker]

eezy,
from what i was told it was kept hush-hush until yesterday until it was finalized. there were some eligibility questions that had to be addressed and there was a possibility they would not be eligible until second semester. the word is that they were being recruited by a college in the states who has a coach who is buddies with the new cc coach. sounds like nch all over again.
if lockland can get them from princeton then i guess it is all right for someone else in the league to bring in players from somewhere else. maybe they will even stay at the home of the coach.

[voice_of_reason]

I would not get excited about these guys until they are cleared by OHSAA. I do not know the rules but I do know that there was a similar situation at Dayton Christian, and I believe CHCA was in a situation similar just last year.

This information is interesting. I'm wondering if what they (Cincy Chr.) are doing will pass the legality test.

A number of years ago here in the Youngstown area, the Youngstown State basketball coach tried to do something similar. He was recruiting a super-sophie from the Detroit area. He (the YSU coach) was afraid that as this kid got more exposure, the big boys (Michigan, MSU, etc.) would move in on him and take the kid away.

He attempted to avoid this by moving the kid (and his mother) to a suburb of Youngstown (Boardman) where the coach lived, and where his own son played. He figured that the kid would be away from the Detroit hype... PLUS he could keep an indirect eye on the kid in school (via his son).

It all seemed like a GREAT plan, until the NCAA found out. Seems as if there were a NUMBER of rules broken. It was only a matter of weeks before the kid and his mother packed up and returned to Detroit without playing even one minute for Boardman.

I realize that the circumstances are a little different... but if a college coach is "arranging" for these kids to play at a specific school, there are DEFINITE rules being broken, if not seriously bent.

In the YSU case, the NCAA got the OHSAA involved, and they leaned HEAVILY on Boardman to prove this was a voluntary move-in. Of course they couldn't... and the move back to Detroit was made.

And BTW... the YSU coach never did end up getting the kid.

I hope Cincy Christian is not getting involved in something that they're unaware of the rules about. Anytime anyone other than a player's parent or legal guardian arranges for the player to attend ANY secondary school... the red flags will be a-wavin'. :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Eezy as 123]

All this seems unreal.

Don't get me wrong tucker, if CCS gets high calibar players, good for them. I'm just saying that's it's hard to believe.

Where the heck is cougar' at?

:hello: :wallbang: This reminds me of MSNBC... someone makes an outlandish suggestion, you guys run with it without having the adequate information. Someone, should have made a call or two before posting something so... I don't know... stupid... as that the CCS Coach is recruiting from Australia. Unbelievable!!! I spoke to one of the team member's parents and he said... "you can't believe anything you read on Yappi..." He said that Endicott does a lot of missions trips... specifically to Costa Rica for a large number of years... but would more likely bring back Soccer players. He said that his son was at Endicott's house with other team members to watch the NBA play-offs and the only people living in Endicott's house is his 13 year old son.

Endicott doesn't say much about anything regarding his "transformed team"... however, "Australian Missionaries" hmmmm I don't think so...

Nate Brusman, Nick Brandts and all the other boys are loyal and committed to Endicott's new system. His passion for the game has apparently caught on. Those naysayers out there that want to make assumptions about Nate Brusman or Brandts or the "phantom" missionaries are simply going to find themselves stunned when Endicott brings his boys to the court and demonstrates, discipline, determination and passion. I was told that these boys were showing up before school at 6:00 am to shoot their 1000 shots per day. These players do so under the supervision of a parent. He told me that Endicott is never there. He said Endicott expected his boys to do whatever it takes... without "inspection."

I do understand that Endicott was in Columbus at a Coaches clinic this weekend and was offered an assistant coaching position from one of the presenters. Don't know who... the parent (my friend) wouldn't comment. He just said that he knew that Endicott would not leave these seniors. Now depending on how CCS treats him could determine his tenure there. I understand that the "Board is not too hip" on him coaching as a sideline to his Principal duties...

Tucker... I don't know who you are ... but you are "definitely" talking about the wrong school... If you know these "Australia boys" give me a yell... I like to point them toward a real winning program and reliable coach... Seven Hills

eEzy... I wouldn't get too excited... Lockland still has the best "recruiting" class... :) :stirthepot:

Oh yea... One final point! Brusman is a hard working kid. When it comes time for play... you had better believe he will be in the mix. Brandts had some scar tissue removed... but word is... even if he is working out in October... Endicott may not put him on the floor until December. Unlike, previous years... winning games is not as important as a kid's future. Brandts was brought onto the floor last year one game before the tournament. It was obvious that he was not close to being ready. As a result, he strained his knee for three games which moved the team no closer to a tournament appearance than they would have had he not stepped onto the court. According to Endicott, Brandts will be playing at the next level. He will not jeopardize this boy's future to win a few ballgames. He told this parent that "we will win... and we will win with what we have on the bench... I don't have to recruit." He was quoted as saying that a school's athletic program is for kids who want to attend CCS. Endicott is the gatekeeper to enrollment. They have behavior expectations, testing and a very thorough screening process.... I was told that he had turned down two students from Lakota due to "Fighting" at their previous school. Don't know how true that one is... but at least my source is very close to the coach.

Hmmmm...

:shrug: Dude... Please reveal your source... this has to be the story of the year. You can't be serious... how in the world could you hide a 6'11" Australian at CCS for nearly a quarter. Do you really believe Endicott has them hid in his attic?:cool: I think you need to check your coffee... try decaff...:stirthepot:

[Eezy as 123]

"we will win... and we will win with what we have on the bench... I don't have to recruit."

I REALLY do not want to get into the whole recruiting bullcrap again, but, who's recruting? The only thing that I've heard of, is that the actual coaches at Princeton tell their players/students about Lockland. The ones who couldn't make the team.

C'mon, Lockland isn't big enough to recruit. It's only D4. :shrug:

[thecougar07]

Don't get me wrong tucker, if CCS gets high calibar players, good for them. I'm just saying that's it's hard to believe.

Right here. I havent heard a single thing about this, and would NOT be in favor of it happening. However, with the current administration in place at CCS, it wouldnt surprise me even a tiny bit for something like this to happen. I am not a fan of the current atmosphere there. Its not moving in a positive direction, especially if something like this happened.

[tucker]

if this really is true what about the two kids who lose their starting jobs?

[Eezy as 123]

Come on dude... climb down off your petty high horse. I have been told over and over why you whine so much. Just because you didn't agree with the administration (whoever you are talking about) but for a "so called" alumnus... you are way too quick to jump to such an outlandish conclusion ("I wouldn't put it past them".) As I understand it you have lost the respect of the boys presently on the team who say you grumbled about Davis when he was your coach and now you simply demonstrate your bitterness, by taking a "pot-shot" at a hypothetical; laughable suggestion by someone who simply doesn't know anything about the CCS team or new coach Endicott. I spoke to a staff member at CCS today as well as two seniors who know you. The staff said that they wished it was true but that they couldn't believe that such a rumor could somehow make it into "print." The players laughed and said that it wasn't Dr. Endicott's style to recruit... they said, "Dr. Endicott doesn't have to go get players, they come to him." Apparently, there were two juniors from Lakota who played last year and wanted to play at CCS but Endicott, as Principal, rejected their applications because of incidents of some type of violent behavior. Endicott's believes the athletic program is for CCS students not to neglect the school's athletes and replace them with recruits. Besides, Endicott's team has already been picked and those players with the exception of Brusman and Brandts (which will both be playing) during the summer shoot-outs.

And Eezy... Keep laughing... When Seven Hills and CCS beat Lockland the laugh will be on you. How can you speculate on who will win the division when you don't even know who will be playing where... I hears that St. Bernard just got two Missionaries from the Dominican one is 7' 6" and the other 6' 9" and both play point guard and shoot threes as easy as they dunk...:stirthepot: I wonder how far this rumor will go...? :wallbang:

I was sitting beside one of the players at a Volleyball game at Seven Hills and they want to know how in the world would you know the "direction" the school is going... when you only showed up to play ball in the gym... at the discretion of that present "administration" of whom you speak so negatively. He said the players love Endicott and believe that the school is moving in the right direction picking up nearly 100 new students this year... how many schools in the MVC or even the city say that. He says that you new the administration one year... and just because you didn't give your class everything you wanted you "never gave Bragg" a chance. They say the same thing happened with last year's senior class and Endicott. The school's attitude toward Endicott has greatly improved... as well as their perception of Bragg. You are way out of the loop in "Irish" country so unless you are on the inside... you shouldn't pass off inaccurate information as if you are an insider... from what I understand you are everything but... :hello:

in this league sounds like you need a score card to tell who all of the new players are going to be. i know in the past lockland's roster was the cincinnati phone book.

I hope you are proud of yourself, taking things posted on a message board this seriously, to the point of confronting current students in person about me. I'm glad I mean that much to you. That I am that important to you. Pretty pathetic, really.

If you really want to know, I have no problem whatsoever with Endicott. From the few times I have seen him/said hey to him, he seems like a really nice guy. And he seems like he knows the game of basketball very well. No doubt. I just thought Davis didnt get a fair shake. But you wouldnt care about that, would you? You only want to get under my skin, try to piss me off by talking crap about people who think they know me because they went to school with me. Thing is, I've met people like you. You are nothing new to me. You also dont bother me. The fact that you would stoop to such a level as to go talk to people behind my back about me doesnt surprise me.

I obviously have never tried to hide the fact of who I am on this message board. Its pretty easy to figure out who the kid who went to Notre Dame from CCS is. I'm glad you used that information in a negative way. Good for you. By the way, I love being in "Irish country." Wouldn't trade it for anything.

For the record, I think Coach Coleman is one of the best things that has happened to CCS in a very long time. He is a great guy, and someone I consider as a friend. I think hiring Coach Johnson as a teacher and head football coach was a great decision. Making Coach Lanphier the new baseball coach after the retirement of Tim Mills was a great call. Did great things for the program.

You may think you know what I mean when I say I dislike things done by the administration, but you dont. You might think those people who are at CCS now know what the deal was, but they dont. Realize that they were freshman and sophmores when I was a senior. They may think they know everything, but realize that I wouldnt make public every little detail. That would be foolish. You say the administration "didn't give my class everything we wanted." I honestly wonder what you are talking about. Your arrogance in this matter is laughable.

100 new students this year? Awesome. Glad to hear it. Oh wait, I already knew that. But you wouldnt check to find out first. No, I'm not on the inside of the institution anymore, but that doesnt mean I dont hear things and find out things constantly. But regardless, there is a reason I dont spend time on yappi anymore. I'm not on the inside, so I dont pretend to be. But again, that doesnt matter to you, does it?

If you want to reply to this, please keep it to a PM. If you have a problem with me (which you obviously do), tell me all about it. But keep it private. I dont know who you are, and I dont really care. It isnt important. But I want you to know I dont have a problem with you, whoever you are. Even if I found out. It just isnt worth it. Life is too short. Take care buddy.

To the rest of you, I am sorry that I had to make such a long post about this and clutter of the thread. It wont happen again, dont worry. I simply needed to make my point, and I am satisfied that I have done so. Thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt here. I dont take personal attacks lightly, especially when posted in a public place.

No, I am not. When I first came here, I contemplated walking on the football or baseball team, but in the end decided that it was too large of a time committment to take on when considering class committments and such. By then, it was too late to be a manager. Some of my friends are, and it is a huge time committment as well, so I probably wouldnt have done it anyway.
