Blue & Gold Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 GoZips,Thanks for the updates concerning Nik, Alex & Humpty! I was wondering how they were faring. Any word on our 4th recruit from Nitro, West Virginia (I can't think of his name right now)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems he just loves double-doubles, dunks, blocks and playing basketball.Stats, Game Summaries, etcYou da man, GZ!Two interesting facts about Virginia Episcopal School:1. They have more sports than U of Akron -- including cycling.2. Their last game was vs Eastern Mennonite, which I believe is a four-year college.

GoZips Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I love a player that is tough as a box of rocks. Read this article and find out what Nik is bringing to Akron.Nik gets 26 in a game where his team wins 38-37. Do the math. VES in conference opponent had beaten VES earlier this season. VES is now 13-5. Has a statement two handed dunk.Rock Tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZipAnalyst Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 The Virginia Episcopal School moves into the second round in division II playoffs on Nik's last second dunk.Nik's Dunk Article"Nik is a constant," [Cvetinovi's coach] Windham said. "It was nice to see the other guys stepping up."Consistency is what Akron needs most for next year - and, of course, for this year; if the players can achieve it. This has had to be a very trying year for Dambrot. He never knows who is going to show up on game day. In the end it is Dambrot's job to bring in/develop consistent players - consistently productive, this is! Apparently, this kid is reliable; game-in, game-out.

Blue & Gold Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 The article states that Nik's team plays in the Virginia Independent School Division II. Um... I'm not sure what that means exactly, but just from the sound of it, that doesn't sound like he would be facing very stiff competition, does it? What's an "independent" school anyway? They are obviously not associated with the Virginia public schools system, and apparently not in the same state tournament as the public schools - unlike Ohio parochial schools who participate in the state tourney. Would an "Independent" be a member of a small Christian schools coalition?Then again, I suppose that Oak Hill Academy could very well be a member of the Virginia Independent Schools division as well. So maybe the competition is decent after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe the competition is decent after all.I know his team played in some very tough, high-level tournaments to begin the season. And the guy the Zips were originally recruiting from VES (Nik wasn't our original target) signed at Temple. So VES is not exactly CVCA. It is a pretty high-level program.

Since I have followed Nik and VES all season what player on that team is good enough to play at Temple or Akron other than Nik? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I have followed Nik and VES all season what player on that team is good enough to play at Temple or Akron other than Nik? Per my original post on Nik's commitment the Zips were originally recruiting a VES kid named Brian Irwin (name spelling may be wrong) who ended up committing to Temple in 2007 (not this year). Jeff Boals mentioned Irwin's Temple commitment on one of Joe Dunn's radio shows a couple months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I remembering hearing on the radio that the Irwin kid actually ended up committing to St. Joe's. But the coach that Joe Dunn was interviewing could have simply mis-spoken. Does anyone know whether the Irwin kid has put up numbers comparable to Nic? From all the articles I've read (just the articles that have been posted here on ZipsNation) Nik really seems like the best player, leader & heart-n-soul of that team.
