GJGood Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Anybody in particular I should be watching in the state high school basketball tournament, that has been offered or the Zips have shown interest in? Always like to watch with a Zips connection in mind. I know Colin White of Ottawa-Glandorf has been offered by the Zips but he seems to have gotten offers/interest from schools like Ohio State, Cincinnati, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Butler, would love to have a legit shot at landing him.

Blue & Gold Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Hoban junior guard Jonas Nichols has been offered by Akron. That's it as far as I know. Hoban senior guard Will Scott may be someone the Zips should invite to walk on. Buchtel has 2 future D1 players in PG Khoi Thurmon (IUPUI IIRC LOL) and 2G Amire Robinson (Nevada). Khoi is built like a bull & Amire is a physical specimen but neither have great outside shots; they're just more athletic than anyone trying to guard them. So I don't know how their games are going to translate to the next level but I'm not losing any sleep over them not being offered by Akron. Buchtel's hottest player will be playing FCS football as a WR next season at Wayne State. His name is Marcel Boyce, Jr. & is the son of former Zip Marcel Boyce, Sr. He's been on fire & has been Buchtel's leading scorer since the tournament began. Buchtel has a 6'3" sophomore in the starting lineup named Stevie Diamond. He's Buchtel's starting QB. He's also an athlete to keep an eye on. Hoban's Jonas Nichols is the player I'm keeping my fingers crossed for. He's smooth as silk, has great handles, is 6'3" & has a sweet mid-range fadeaway jumper. Extremely smooth now... I can only imagine how good he's going to be a few years from now. Hopeful he'll be a Zip. Edited March 18, 2023 by Blue & Gold 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJGood Posted March 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) How hard should the Zips pursue Colin White of Ottawa-Glandorf? Seemed like he held his own against Xavier commit Dailyn Swain of Africentric. His offer list isn’t too shabby.

Blue & Gold Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Colin’s only a junior so if he’s worthy I hope we pursue him hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Groce was at the Hoban- St. Ed's game in Brimfield a couple weeks ago, most likely to see Nichols. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly looks the part and I can definitely see why there would be interest Needs to develop a better outside shot but other than that looks pretty strong.

Z.I.P. Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 What's the news on Luke Skaljac of Brecksville? How was his junior season. He was maybe the first '24 player Groce offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see Luke in the blue & gold! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 Not a great championship game for Nichols- two points, five assists, four steals and three rebounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas sure had a tough weekend. He couldn't throw it in the ocean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To his credit, he appears to have kept his head in the game and tried to contribute in other ways. He had to have a target on his back after the lead up to Dayton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
