Jordan Humphries 6'7 Freshman Perry

I got a chance to see him in aau ball and two games for Perry in the summer league. He can run jump catch an finish. He's very fast I can see him getting major minutes for Perry this year. With a chance of starting.

And as a 9th grader... he could add 2-3 inches onto that height in the next couple years. :)

How much does he weigh, '79? :shrug:

Does he lift?

Actually he is 6'4'', but everything else is correct. Very very athletic. Has a ton of potential. Great kid too.

Jordan is a very athletic kid Fairless 8th grade scrimmage the Perry 8th grade this past November so I got a chance to see him in action should help some with the lose of Frease.

Also Fairless has 2 freshman that should see varsity time Austin Matheson and Jake Dennis. Matheson is a do everything player and is always moving he also is a good defender and can handle the basketball. Dennis is a sniper from the outside and is a pretty smart player in his own right. Dennis played with the varisty summer team this past Tuesday and drilled 4 three's againist kids 3 or 4 inches taller. Those 2 should give Fairless a big lift this year and in the next couple of years!!

Dennis can be shut down by just face guarding him and not letting him shoot. He has no game off of the dribble.

I would disagree with you on that one bluesteel. I believe that this kid can handle the ball better than any kid his age.(that I've seen anyhow). I've also seen him drain the building's electricity out with his shooting off the dribble. That, and he has grown a couple of inches this past year. Don't ever leave this kid unattended!!

I was there. Falcons picked a bad day to play poorly. Five players playing against 7 usually has a negative outcome. How many freshman does Tuslaw have comigng up to the varsity level?

06-06-08, 01:24 PM
I was there too, and let me weigh in on this. Tuslaw did a great job guarding Dennis. But that is all the defender was responsible for. He did not have
to play any help defense. If you think a varsity team is going to defend him like that you're nuts. If you aren't going to play any help D then the other 4 guys will eat you up. Varsity talent is just a tad deeper than 8th grade talent.
Matheson and Dennis are both very talented, and both will probably struggle at the varsity level next year. In fact I hope they both struggle hard. Why? Because I know both the boys, and I know that if they struggle, they will work that much harder for the following season. They both have an amazing drive to succeed.
Fairless hoops may struggle for the next 2 years, but by the time these 2 are Jrs. Fairless will be back near the top of the PAC.

I don't know Dennis personally but he isn't much of an athlete from what I've seen and he is slow ... he could use to lose a few LBS as well ... but I don't argue the fact that he can shoot the ball if left alone.

SO your saying you cant use that strategy against varsity competition? Well you are clueless then my man. IN high school my team used this strategy on more than one occasion and we were fairly successful going 19-1 that season.Its not that hard to face guard someone all game and not help when everyone else is playing good solid help man defense.

Austin Matheson of Failess is as overated as Joe Adorjan was as a sophmore for Tuslaw. Matheson will be a good frehman on jv but he can not handle varsity competition yet, his skills need to develop more and he is not a great outside shooter yet. As far as Dennis, he is ready for jv as well ,but definately not varsity because he is one dimensional. These too can play together in games since the day they were born, but when their playing varsity basketball against Timken Austin wont have Jake to bail him out because Jake will be guarded tight and that will force Austin to take over (which he is not capable of doing) and he will drive at Cameron Howard and Desmond Roorey and get his shot sent to the bleaches.After that happens Austin will get frustrated and the game and in many ways the season will be over.

O Veech u slay me, Fairless has no one else if everyone on Yappi are talking about these two. Noone knows anyone else besides these two (except their senior leader Stan Shoelman spl?) These two carried their team to a second place finish in a weak PAC 7 class.And yes Burkett did carry his team and was the leader only because he had Burrow and Dale taking the pressure off him. I believe Burkett is a better varsity fit than Matheson and Dennis.

I believe Burkett is a better varsity fit than Matheson and Dennis.

Actually that class of 8th graders there are some players in there with the Dozier kid from TV, Burkett, Matheson and Dennis, Triway had two kids there PG and the Bercher (sp) kid, and only there communities know what Timken and Indian Valley have. To come on here and say that Matheson will fold under varsity pressure is a bold statement and to say Dennis is one dimensional is another. Both of these kids are good players and in the next couple of years they should lead Fairless to more winning seasons.

And lets get off the 2nd place finish at PAC kick because that game was poorly officiated, when Tuslaw shoots 33 free throws not including 3 or 4 lane violations, and Fairless shots 6 there is something wrong. I will not take anything away from Coach Bessler and the kids because they planned and played a nice game, but when the one official walks over to the Fairless coach in the parking lot and says he's sorry for what his partner did to the kids then obviously it bothered him too, but that was Feburary and this is now and you were close with Stanley his last name is actually spelled Soehnlen.

06-09-08, 09:59 PM
Veech the game was never a close game. Tuslaw was in control the whole game. If Matheson is going to make a huge impact like everyone says he is then he should of still at least made the game close. I mean only ten points in the biggest game of the season and almost getting t-ed up for throwing his headband, a varsity superstar would have kept his cool and at least made the game closer

thsfan007
06-09-08, 10:03 PM
Dont get me wrong Matheson is a great player, but for everyone to talk him up like he is a superstar is wrong. Matheson will be a great player as a junior and senior and maybe a sophomore but to call him a superstar right now is absurd because he lacks the talent and he is still to young to make an impact as a Freshman

Your list does not include Maliek London sonn to be of Chilicothe High
School. He is a 6'10" shot blocker. Certainly a top 20 candidate. The list should also include Jprdan Potts, pg from Monroe Middle School, another top 20 player. The most notable absence is Elijah Macon from Berry Middle School at 6'7 1/2" he is the number one player coming out of Columbus' middle school progarms. Top 10 on your list for sure.

McMullen is rumored to be the best of the bunch. Very dominant player at the AAU level. Hoban basketball fans hoping he makes an immediate impact on varsity this year.

Now that Hoban has agreed to renew the series with STVM, (at least for 2008-2009), the games could prove to be among the best in the area.

These teams played 3 games against each other this season. Fairless won the 2 regular season games by close margins and Tuslaw won the championship game. in all the games combined burkett/burrow from Tuslaw outscored matheson/dennis from Fairless by a score of 84-59. IN the 3 games combined Burkett had 34pts Burrow had 47pts...Matheson had 35 pts and Dennis had 24 pts.

Even with McMullen Knights won't matchup with Irish in 2008-2009. Did anyone inform McMullen that STVM is loaded with a very young top Notch Backcourt that has there sights set on Columbus??? Give props to TK for being able to land the big man.

The STVM/HOBAN series needs to continue on for years. My only suggestion move the game to University of Akron's JAR Arena to accomidate future

Agreed, this game should be moved to the JAR. No reason not to. Hoban's teams play at:

Baseball - vs. STVM @ Aeros Stadium. Hoban vs. NDCL @ Progressive Field.
Football - vs. STVM at the Rubber Bowl

The decision to play at the home gyms is TK's alone.

These 2 little guards defeated Dayton Dunbar and Garfield Hts and played most of the 2 games. With Dominick and Gaiter the future looks bright for Cleveland Heights High, these guys hustle, defend,rebound and can hit shots over bigger players and they didnt do too bad against Warren Harding, just ask Harding's head coach.

I saw McMullen in a scrimmage against East and McKinley and was not as impressed as I expected to be. First off, he is about 6'4" or 6'5". He was nowhere near dominant against either team. East's best post player (junior) is about 6'2" and McKinley's (senior) is about 6'3". He's not as good as either one of them. Don't get me wrong, he has loads of potential and will be able to help Hoban off the bench this year. However, they will need both Slack and Barnes if they hope to be a factor in the tournament.

McMullen did well vs players his own age. Being a 14 yr old, playing 17 and 18 year olds, he will struggle a bit. His upside potential is huge, and with Hoban's graduating a large number of seniors he should get some playing time. Agreed about Slack and barnes, they will have to take control if Hoban has any chance of getting out of Canton.

Wyoming players?? Get real! None (other than Campbell) have played anything but Rec ball in the past.

Honestly do not just compare him to the point guards, he is one of the top guards, he handles, dishes, drives and shoots very well! And from what I saw he is an excellent defender.

No arguement on Campbell. And yes I am serious that the other kids have played nothing but rec ball. Are any playing AAU this summer? Are any playing in any summer leagues? Where are they playing, what are they doing? Have they picked up a ball in months? The kids who will make an impact this year will have played a ton of spring/summer basketball (IE: Roger Bacon kids).

The post asked for incoming freshman who will make a difference this year. None of those players will make a difference this year. They will be lucky to make their JV teams. Watkins may be a difference maker in the future as he's athletic and has size but he's a year or two away.

No commitment + lack of hard work = No impact in 2008/2009.

Seems simple enough.

i know for a fact that two of these players have been working on their game this summer. i personally see boggan and watkins in the gym working with each other on their game and im positive that both of them will be pllaying at least JV next year. they both put in the time and effort to better themselves and they push eachother to the limit. i hear that kadish has been busy on baseball as well as capbell and chalmers.

I agree. Josh Lemons is very quick and can score. He also has the ability to get others on his team involved.

Are there any big forwards or centers in Cincy? All I keep reading about are guards.

Bacon's Freshman class will be excellent. They have 4 starters from last years AAU National Champions. Definitely the cream of the crop in SW Ohio.

Wyoming players?? Get real! None (other than Campbell) have played anything but Rec ball in the past.

Moeller has a nice gaurd coming in: Ben Galemmo -unlimited shooting range and a hard nosed kid. Summit has nice gaurd coming in: Kreyenhagen (played on the Knights National Championship team).

Galemmo is a very good player. He will have to control his attitude and temper.

I saw Galemmo playin wit his AAU team and he is one of the best incoming freshman in the state. he's a hardworker and a great shooter. this kid can shoot from anywhere with 3 people gaurding him. he is gonna be a great player on the high school level

A player that Galermo reminds me of for all you GCL/Moeller fans is Bubba Walthers. They both shoot lights out, though I do believe even when Bubba was this young age that he could handle the ball better.

Another Freshman that has flown under the Radar in Cincy is Darrien from Pleasant Run, I believe he is going to Bacon as well.

Are there any kids going to CPS, GMC, and MVC schools to lookout for?

I do not know about this up coming year but I think one of the strongest guards is this kid Landon ???, he plays for one of the Cincinnati Royals teams.
And then there is a kid named Willie that played for the Prophets, another strong player. If both these kids keep their attitudes in check, they will be difference makers on their teams.

It will be interesting to see who the different GCL South teams have in this class.

Jake is 6'9 real Solid muscular wise. He has the potential to be very good since he is going to a school like Centerville and snake was right about that point.

St. Thomas has one of their best Freshmen classes coming in a long time.Sean Dempsey,Jay Bond from OLOP,Mike Ducey,Matt Gensley from Hoover, plus the Duplin boy and another from Louisville, I think his name is Mitch Hutton.These guys are all real good players.Was able to see all but one play AAU ball this year, and summer ball at the stearn center, They will be a force in the near future. Coach Harold has to be licking his chops.
