Top 5 teams in N.E.O

[yellowandblue]

Give me your top D-1 preseason picks as the season is just weeks away.


1. Garfield Heights
2. Timken
3. Cleveland Heights
4. Warren Harding
5. Jackson

Teams to watch: N. Canton, Firestone,Gleneville

[hs sports fan]

Please take Firestone off your list. They will not even be in the top 5 in the City Series (unless they have receive even MORE transfers than I know of).

[HoopHound]

Give me your top D-1 preseason picks as the season is just weeks away....

This is why I like this guy. Only a TRUE high school basketball junkie would state in the middle of September that "the season is just weeks away"!!

BEAUTIFUL, y/b!! I salute you!!!!! :cool: :)

[thehasbeen95]

1. Benedictine
2. Timken
3. Garfield hts
4. Cleveland Hts
5. SVSM

I would put these 5 picks against any team in the state to come out on top. they will be that good.

Dont Garfield have to beat Cleve Hts or any good team 1st. They are always rated high but never get the job done.

Hasbeen I couldnt agree more with these 5 teams I just kept SVSM and Benedictine off for the D-2 preseason picks.

Lol. Fan I just gave them a nod for their success over the last couple of years but you would know more on the Akron teams then me thanks for the inside info now the trojans will look for a new opponent next year in the regionals if they get lucky lol.

Well hound I got to have it with football in its fifth week what the heck. Also all transfers or new talent has came or gone lets get these selections lol.

[hs sports fan]

On paper, I think most people would agree that Garfield Heights has the most talent. Whether or not they will be the best team is yet to be seen.

[Auggie]

Does Benedictine still have Garfield on the schedule for this season?

[thehasbeen95]

Hasbeen I couldnt agree more with these 5 teams I just kept SVSM and Benedictine off for the D-2 preseason picks.

my bad Yb something told me not to include those two but being a knuckle head I did anyway.:shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :wallbang: :wallbang:

[thehasbeen95]

Does Benedictine still have Garfield on the schedule for this season?

no not this season. would have been a heckuva game. Is Andre Paulk still at Kent Roosevelt or did he officially transfer to Garfield. I'm only askin because he played with Carl Jones and Mario Hines during the Sonny Johnson Showcase on Tuesday.

[HoopHound]

I thought I had heard that Paulk ended up back at Roosevelt. I heard that info AFTER the discussion in here about his transfer. I could be mistaken, but I believe it's factual that he's at Kent, '95.

[Shady29]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Harding and Jackson both being in the Regionals. Harding got screwed last year, and if they didn't, I believe they go on and possibly win State. The 3 pointer shouldn't have counted to put the game into Overtime, and they end up losing at the last second in OT (I don't recall to?). Jackson should run through the FL, and looks to be a big time team.

[thehasbeen95]

Jackson's frontcourt tandem of Egner and Henninger will tough for anyone to play and plan for. Jackson is for sure a favorite in the Federal League and go far in the tourney.

[ballboy42]

hey thehasbeen. hoover beat jackson over the summer so i dnt think that jackson will win the federal league especially when they play at hoover. hoover is to tough and has the all around teamgame. they got fire power from the outside with sommers and can go to the rim and finish strong. got big post play by gross. plus, no body on jackson can stop niles evans. so jackson has no chance. so watch out

[Shady29]

Ballboy, get the heck out of here. You're some kind of junk player for Hoover who's under the impression that Hoover is gonna be amazingly better than Jackson. Hoover's a great program, year in year out, and I doubt they'll ever have a Bad Year. But they did lose they're big time players from last year as we said in the other thread already.

[thehasbeen95]

oooooookkkkkk?????? :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: :shrug: thats cool but the Thread is about the top five teams in NEO. obviously we are talking D1 I made a mistake in an earlier post and put two great D2 programs in the mix. But back to the topic I can't put Hoover in the top 5 because there are a few teams better than them. And I just feel that Jackson is one of them.

[ballin101]

1. Garfield Heights-This team is loaded!!if they don't make a run I'd be shocked
2. Timken
3. Benedictine
4. Jackson
5.GlenOak

[ballboy42]

You need to get Glenoak off of there and put jackson at 5th and move hoover to 4th

Well shady we will get a early taste of the districts first in december when they play Timken. Thats who they will have to beat to go to the regionals.

[hs sports fan]

ballboy-

You should probably have spent today working on your game isntead of posting on here non-stop. Also, there is no fee for capitialization and punctuation. You are hurting Hoover's academic reputation with your posts.

[Shady29]

THey'll have to beat Timken to go to Regionals? Last year they were up in the Cleveland District and not in the Canton District. Are they back in Canton? I would hope they would, because they belong there, but I'm not sure? :shrug:

[ballin101]

Yes ballboy don't talk about N.C. so much you guys have to first go out and prove something then people will talk about your team and maybe then your be a favorite. But keep in mind Hoover has a history of being good early and then falling off come tourney time, which is why I say the summer isn't important because its not where you start but where you finish.

[hs sports fan]

Methinks we have the Hoover version of brian1227 on our hands :laugh: Either that or it's a non-Hoover person who's having a lot of fun being an idiot.

[OhioBobcatFan06]

At first glance his grammar is slightly better then brians.... Although Brians content is much better....

Garfield is the team that picked up Will Weeks right??

[hs sports fan]

Garfield is the team that picked up Will Weeks right??

Yes.

[HoopHound]

Yes.

hssf... didn't the little freshman point guard at Revere last year ALSO move to Garfield as well? Or did he transfer elsewhere? (I had heard he was out of Revere as well as Weeks.)

[OhioBobcatFan06]

If that little PG can pick up any kind of athletiscm at all he will be an animal, for whoever he is playing for...

[hs sports fan]

hssf... didn't the little freshman point guard at Revere last year ALSO move to Garfield as well? Or did he transfer elsewhere? (I had heard he was out of Revere as well as Weeks.)

I believe you are referring to D.J. Bettinger. To answer your question, I did not hear anything of him trasferring.

[HoopHound]

If DJ was a frosh last year and started @ point for Revere, he IS the kid I was talking about. I thought for sure that I'd heard he was transferring too. I'm obviously mistaken because a kid with that much talent... folks would be talking at his new school... and boo-hooing at his old one. :eek:

Thanks for the heads-up. :)

I never saw them play, but he was the only freshman besides Weeks to play for them last year. They have another sophomore that looked pretty good for their JV team this summer. I would think he will get some varsity time this year. His name is Larry Nance, Jr. Maybe you've heard of his dad?

[Roscoe2]

Watch out for Strongsville. A huge line-up consists of 6'1, 6'3, 6'7, 6'8, 6'9 with a bench of 6'5, 6'4 and 6'2.

so you like a lot of people feel that Justin Jameson is gonna play? I don't think coach Lynch is just gonna stand by and not persuade him.:)

His dad sat about 3 rows in front of me at the game I saw these kids. I agree that Jr. is a nice player as well. :cool:

yes Paulk will be back at kent .I know i frm kent and all but i really think kent has something going with a trio of denerio bryant (Pg),Paulk Sg with many d-1 offers, and Cameron Black 6-10 jr. with a 7 foot 1 wing span who has already verballed to Akron

[Hurri-Comet]

1. Benedictine

O.K. teams 3-4-5 all have ex-Solon players. How good would Solon be if Jones, Keely, Sir Christian, and Sampson were still Comets?

(only thehasbeen knows!) :cool: Maybe HOOP also.

Like kent16 just posted, we'd be talking up the Comets A LOT. It's a shame these players transferred... the group mentioned likely would have eclipsed the Lauderdale years.

Akron will definately be a force with Black in 10' and the #7 ranked center in the country in Zeke Marshall in 2009.

[Roscoe2]

so you like a lot of people feel that Justin Jameson is gonna play? I don't think coach Lynch is just gonna stand by and not persuade him.:)

Actually I saw him at a volleyball game at Strongsville (my daughter plays for the Mustangs) and he said he IS going to play, for sure. Mustangs will be very young but they will need some leadership to get them going on a roll! :)

[thehasbeen95]

Garfield Hts in Cleveland gets another big to add to their already potent squad. 6'8 transfer Fred Chapman from Cleveland JFK. Chapman really makes Garfield Hts virtually unbeatable down low. This definitely will make the BULLDAWGS extremely difficult to beat on the road to Columbus.

[hs sports fan]

That's a big blow to JFK.

Harding will be back, but I heard that Garfield Heights is absolutely loaded. Timken is on the rise, and Cleveland Heights is always solid. It will be very interesting up north this year!

BTW, Harding, Garfield Heights, St. Eds, and another team (not sure who it is) is having a four way scrimmage in Harding's new gym next month. Should be a good one.

I do know Jackson is scrimmaging Harding just not sure if it is that 4way.

[Worm02]

Worm, do you know the date?

November 19 at 5 PM in Warren. Warren West was right about Jackson being the fourth team. I didn't go to any summer league games this year, so I'm eager to see some hoop real soon!

[royalpain378]

well its consistent with timken and warren harding up their in the top five and jackson too and their all in the D1 games at the Civic Center. Timken vs. Warren Harding in that sectional/distritct would be a heck of a match up espically in the final

Worm... I don't want to get this thread too far off course, but what will the new gym seat @ WGH?

Just wondering, as the season's just ahead!! :cool:

I've avoided driving up to Warren for quite a few Raider home games the last couple years because the old gym was just TOO darned crowded!!

I'm HOPING the new gym seats at least 2500???!!!??? :shrug:

Unless the State reorganized again Warren Harding will head to the Cleveland region and Timken will be in the Akron region with the Toledo team. We should all remember the Harding/St. Eds game from last year to win the Regional.

If my math is correct, I believe that there is exactly 1,860 seats. It's been a while since I "counted" them (adding the seats per row, multiplied by the number of rows in each section, then multiplied by the number of sections) but I believe that's the number that I came up with (I may be a little off though, but I know that it was well over 1,800). There's also a section underneath the hoop that's supposed to seat around 500 students. I doubt that it would fit that many (at least not 500 people my size, lol), but it would still push the capacity well over 2,000. It's much bigger than the old gym, so I'm hoping that we can get this gym just as loud. It was hype last year, especially with the students & cheerleaders.

BTW, if you ever come up, send me a PM ahead of time. I would be nice to meet you.

[seahawks4life]

garfeild heights for the next few years...especially with the transfer of will weeks...this kid is for real

Sounds great. Hope it's gonna be better than before..and that gym should be packed this year for another great WGH team!

For the record kent roosevelt defeated benedictine and narrowly lost to g heights at the akron u shootout this summer

[thehasbeen95]

For the record kent roosevelt defeated benedictine and narrowly lost to g heights at the akron u shootout this summer
well for the record...I don't know how the coach at Roosevelt operates but I know at benedictine summer wins and lossed don't count. Coach Rob uses those games to evaluate his talent especially the freshman. so I mean if it makes a difference to you then fine. I like the play of Kent Roosevelt. the top teams should be looking over there shoulders for them. they are talented team. and thats my evaluation..not whether or not they won.

That's a great point, '95. I think too many fans put FAR too much emphasis on wins during the summer... and preseason scrimmages as well. Both periods are all about learning what your team and players CAN and CANNOT due, what lineup combinations are effective in what situations, etc.

I've seen it a thousand times. Teams sail through these "off-season" games instead of working on the fundamentals... then fall flat when the season starts. :wallbang: :eek:

[grifferforlife]

I saw them play and so and so beat so and so over the summer. summer has very little to do with the regular season. If you track teams and what they do over the summer, you would see that means nothing. It might give you an idea of talent but still does not give you what you need. Think about teams that loose a lot in the summer and check for yourself.

I wouldn't say it means NOTHING. Look at Timken last year. They came out of nowhere in the summer and went on to win their first 24 games of the season.

[Coach Vic]

At Columbus Northland we use the summer to see what our young players don't know. We do not collect wins or losses. The summer is for evaluation of your talent. I do not know how many games we won or loss in the summer but I will tell you this ......none of it will matter or count come December 6, 2008. That is the date of our first game of the year.

[cardzfan1234]

I don't think Mentor should necessarily be in the top 5 of NEO at this point with the loss of All-Ohio guard Joe Meyer, but the Cards do return all four of their other starters along with a key reserve from last year's Euclid district champs. They have a good shot at winning the LEL and the district again. Some of the top teams in the area like Cleveland Heights, St. Ignatius, and Glenville are a few that stand in the way.

I definitely agree with Benedictine being number 1. They are hungry for state rings and have 4 of their 5 starters with d1 offers. they're pushing themselves harder than ever before.

I wouldn't count out St. eds. Coach Flannery is way too good of a coach to count his team out

Not the first time this has happened.

[hudsonbb27]

hudson should be very talented this year. dont be suprised if they win the conference and make a run at states. they have 4 starters returning, as well as every guy off the bench (only 1 senior graduated). they won almost every game this summer, including beating cleveland heights, and barberton to win the championship at West Virginia University. This was without all the football guys, and Josh Jonaitis. They also won the Steubenville tournament this summer. There lineup should be as follows:
Point- Bobby Tyler Sr. 6'2" 170
Shooting Guard- Kevin Meyer Sr. 5'8" 160/ De'Juan Harris Sr. 6'1" 185
Small Forward- Richie Piekarski Jr. 6'2" 185
Power Forward- Colin Geaney Sr. 6'7" 195
Center- Josh Jonaitis Sr. 6'7" 205
Bench- Jake Brandy Jr. 6'2" 170 S.G., Holden Smith Sr. 6'3" 180 P.F., Matt Hollenbeck Sr. 5'8" 155 P.G., Steig Carlson Soph. 5'10" 160 S.G., Sam Gedeon Jr. 5'10" 170 Guard, Zack Barley Jr. 5'10 180 Guard, Gabe Adams Jr. 6'1" 165 Post

Josh Jonaitis is receiving a full ride to division 2 Seton Hill for basketball. He got first team all conference last year. Colin Geaney is getting recruited by a ton of d2 and d3 schools, and got Hon. Mention all-conf. last year. Bobby Tyler also received hon. mention all conf. last year and has committed to UMass to play lacrosse. De'Juan Harris is also getting d2 and d3 interest for basketball after being out all last season with a knee injury. Richie Piekarski is one of the best guards on the team. Kevin Meyer is very athletic and can shoot and is probably one of the best defenders on the team. Jake Brandy is one of the best outside shooters on team. Matt Hollenbeck is one of the best defenders on the team and is a very hard worker. Holden Smith is a scrappy post player who works really hard. Steig Carlson is a great outside shooter. Sam, Zack and Gabe are all good athletes and are 3 of the hardest workers on the team.

Kevin Meyer is very athletic and can shoot and is probably one of the best defenders on the team. Jake Brandy is one of the best outside shooters on team. Matt Hollenbeck is one of the best defenders on the team and is a very hard worker. Holden Smith is a scrappy post player who works really hard. Steig Carlson is a great outside shooter. Sam, Zack and Gabe are all good athletes and are 3 of the hardest workers on the team.

Brink is still bench boss, correct hudsonbb27?

If so... he's won everywhere else he's been. No reason why he won't do it again. :cool:

Roscoe or any Strongsville fan, what is this year's roster looking like? I heard about the Benedictine kid, but who else is looking good. What are the names of the starters. I haven't really payed much attention to the basketball team yet.

hudson should be very talented this year. dont be suprised if they win the conference and make a run at states. they have 4 starters returning, as well as every guy off the bench (only 1 senior graduated). they won almost every game this summer, including beating cleveland heights, and barberton to win the championship at West Virginia University. This was without all the football guys, and Josh Jonaitis. They also won the Steubenville tournament this summer. There lineup should be as follows:
Point- Bobby Tyler Sr. 6'2" 170
Shooting Guard- Kevin Meyer Sr. 5'8" 160/ De'Juan Harris Sr. 6'1" 185
Small Forward- Richie Piekarski Jr. 6'2" 185
Power Forward- Colin Geaney Sr. 6'7" 195
Center- Josh Jonaitis Sr. 6'7" 205
Bench- Jake Brandy Jr. 6'2" 170 S.G., Holden Smith Sr. 6'3" 180 P.F., Matt Hollenbeck Sr. 5'8" 155 P.G., Steig Carlson Soph. 5'10" 160 S.G., Sam Gedeon Jr. 5'10" 170 Guard, Zack Barley Jr. 5'10 180 Guard, Gabe Adams Jr. 6'1" 165 Post

Josh Jonaitis is receiving a full ride to division 2 Seton Hill for basketball. He got first team all conference last year. Colin Geaney is getting recruited by a ton of d2 and d3 schools, and got Hon. Mention all-conf. last year. Bobby Tyler also received hon. mention all conf. last year and has committed to UMass to play lacrosse. De'Juan Harris is also getting d2 and d3 interest for basketball after being out all last season with a knee injury. Richie Piekarski is one of the best guards on the team. Kevin Meyer is very athletic and can shoot and is probably one of the best defenders on the team. Jake Brandy is one of the best outside shooters on team. Matt Hollenbeck is one of the best defenders on the team and is a very hard worker. Holden Smith is a scrappy post player who works really hard. Steig Carlson is a great outside shooter.

Hudson seems like they have a solid team

Besides Hudson and Sebring, who else will be there, Ones?

I was just told tonight, but the other teams slipped my mind. I do know that the other teams involved are larger schools. Sebring usually makes the trip to Hudson since Clark and Brink are long-time friends. A great opportunity for the D4 Trojans to play WAY up.

Sebring made a trip up there this past summer as well.
