Sounds like frosh Nick Thelen is going to push the varsity boys for some minutes. Kid is really athletic.

 

Will be interesting to see how tall Nick gets by Jr/Sr years. If he grows the same amount as his dad, that would put him about 7'3".

His dad, a very late grower. Obviously they're on different growth patterns, but 6'9"+ is not out of the realm. With his athletic ability and speed, that would be something to see.

13 days until CovCath at Cooper -- man, I love high school hoops' season.

 

Hate that this game falls on the same night as Butler at UC and the Wilmington game falls on the same night Iowa State visits 5th/3rd.

Are you still doing the Xavier site too?

Are you still doing the Xavier site too?

 

No.

 

I still do recruiting stuff for Rivals here and there and will work with some of the national guys on other sites when it comes to videos or content but as far as running the X website and being on the road to cover recruiting/games like GT does with BCJ, I simply don't have time. I got a nice promotion a little over a year ago that almost doubled my salary so the X stuff simply wasn't worth it anymore. Unlike most of those guys who run those websites, the sports stuff has always just been a side gig for me.

 

The high school stuff I do is more about giving the kids exposure and recognition than the money.

Is Hunter Ziegelmeyer the tall dark haired dude that was benched all of last season with a brace on his leg?

The 6'10 Sophomore any good? I have never heard of him...

The 6'10 Sophomore any good? I have never heard of him...

 

It's Joe Walter's son and he is HUGE. I havent seen him play since 8th grade but I am sure the CovCath coaches have been drilling him to death and he is much improved. He gave up football to focus on hoops so it should be interesting to see how much he has improved with the extra offseason training.

Bright future. As he continues to work on his body his game will improve. From the pictures I saw of him this weekend I could see results from some of his work.

Is his dad John, Tom or PJ? PJ grew very late.
