I heard that two former players from the 8th grade championship team made Willie's basketball meeting yesterday. I wouldn't consider them basketball star's but pretty good atheletes.

 

I heard the same thing. They will give Highlands some depth which will be key because of their physical style of play defensively.

I've been hearing that Holmes could possibly be getting a big impact transfer next year from across the river who attended Holmes middle school 7th grade then moved away but might be coming back.

 

Does anyone have any truth to this? I'm not too sure how reliable the sources are who told me this so I thought I'd see if any of the Holmes posters were aware of this and knew for sure if it was just a rumor or not?

 

(Again, just trying to find out if this RUMOR is true or not)

 

 

 

Two for sure, and maybe a third is what I'm hearing.

Coach Schlarman is really going to have adjust his style. None of the players mentioned are what you call "physical". They may be tenacious, but this is because of quickness, not brute strength.

I agree. They were physical last year.

I agree. Kowolonek and Grote are more finesse players who play tenacious defense because of their quickness but aren't very physical. Watson is probably the most physical player on the team.

Who are the two transfers that Holmes is getting and what year are they now? Height...position?

Will try and find out more on monday.

I agree with NCC being a sleeper. I don't think a lot of people are too high on them, but I think they have one of the best coaches in the Area with Brannen and they really have a lot coming back. If Pangallo was bigger he'd be one of the best pg's around, but even still he was a varsity starter all last year as a sophomore so he'll only get better. Shaun Meier had a great year on JV and made the most out of his varsity minutes, so he'll be a contributor. Jeramie Connor is one of those guys who can light it up and change the game with his outside shooting whether he's starting or coming off the bench. They will have Olberding and Geisler along with Roll down low, which in my opinion is basically the same type of play they had last year in the post just with more depth.

 

 

Pangallo is still developing his outside game also, how did he do at KBA? Anyone know?

Did not get to watch him play. The other two 16U Shining Star teams didn't make it out of pool play.

In the games I watched Grote I thought he was a very physical defender who could take a blow or two as well. I expect him to be even stronger next season.

 

Who are the 2 kids from that 8th grade state championship team that are coming back out? Hogue? That would be a very much needed power forward.

A link to the Shining Stars site was posted earlier in this thread. From there, you can click on individual team links and find rosters at the individual sites.

Not sure...I didn't hear any names, just that two more kids were coming out. Hogue may very well be one of them.

Thanks. :thumb:

 

Sorry, but that may have been the KY AAU state tournament thread where I saw it.
