Topic: Keeping up with Cam and Jeremy

[chris88]

Van Horn looks like he can board and has the frame to be effective in many scenarios.  There is also the chance that he grows another inch or two.  Another big body that could contribute in practice and games vs right opponents.  Certainly has upside IMO.  Might play a little stiff but he doesn't have concrete feet like, for example, Taco Fall at UCF...which should mean he can become more flexible with training.

Van Horn is also a pretty good shot blocker too. In a game last night against Chesapeake, he blocked eight shots and altered many others.

Dillon is physically ready to go from day 1. And i'm sure football has really made him a tough competitor.

From his pic in the H-D article, you can tell he’s no stranger in the weight room.

The Dragons (18-3), the sixth-ranked team in Ohio Division II, took advantage of a meltdown by Waverly to pull away for a 67-52 victory Saturday in the Beasts of the Southeast boys high school basketball showcase at Norm Persin Court.

aiah Howell led Fairland with 21 points. Kollin Van Horn scored 16 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked three shots. Ty Wilcoxon came off the bench to score 11 points and snag seven rebounds.

Aronde Myers led all scorers with 23 points and Cameron Brooks-Harris added 20 with a game-high nine rebounds -- they combined for 39 points in Friday's win against Cambridge -- as Zanesville outscored the hosts 17-2 in the second quarter to build a 28-14 halftime lead.

Mingo Central played a makeup game on Saturday against Lincoln Co. and won 69-55. Dillon scored 15 points in the contest.

Next game is a home game tonight against the No.2 ranked team Chapmanville Tigers!

Cam Brooks-Harris's Zanesville team also plays tonight at Lancaster.

[rvntx]

Mingo Central was down at half and turned in on in 2nd half.

[Buffalo Bop]

Zanesville beat Lancaster in a low-scoring game 42-31.

Cam scored 14 points and 7 rebounds.

[Buffalo Bop]

Chapmanville showed why they are one of the best teams in the state by blasting Mingo Central 50-29 on the Miners home court. Dillon struggled to hit shots and only scored 7 points.

We've heard about Brook-Harris red shirting next season.....why not Dillon also?  Especially when you consider we will be 9 deep.  Not many minutes available.  Seems either Dillon or George should RS. 

Perimeters- Elmore, Burks, West, Watson, George
Bigs- Penava, Bennett, Williams, Cook

The more informed could tell me if I'm wrong, but I believe Dillon will play because he is physically ready. He will get some minutes and experience so we have an extra guard with game time experience the year after. Brook-Harris will for sure RS and I believe George might also, unless he manages to really bulk up this summer. I believe DD RSs more for body development, rather than skill development.

Although MC lost, it was a good night for Jeremy who brought his A game tonight.

[CoachSkip]

VanHorns Dragons beat Rock Hill Friday night , 74-46 , their 46th straight OVC win . Kollin had 12pts and 9 rebs .

Kollins teammate and Melvin Cunninghams boy Keedrick had 15 pts. , curious to where he might end up for football.

I think you are right about Dillion.  Since we are losing 3 Guards after next season it probably makes sense for DD to get Dillon some PT next season to be ready to contribute more the following year.  Needs to be some ready-to-go Guards to replace Elmore,  Burks, Watson when the time comes.  Unless DD wants to go 10 deep looks like George may be RSing next season to get bigger/stronger.

2018-19'
Guards - Elmore, Burks, West, Watson, Dillon
Forwards- Penava, Bennett, Williams, Cook

Zanesville lost a close one tonight to Hilliard Bradley 48-44.

Cam scored 19 points.

It seems the Miners have been watching a few of our games!  ;D

[herdorbust]

That kid looks ready to play physically. I think he is going to be another of Danny's WV dandies!!!!

[Luke80]

I hope no one interprets this as questioning a recruit, but if Dillon is going to have a issue it’s more likely to be whether he can play fast enough, not whether he is physical enough. Most of the guys on the end of our bench are there because they cannot play fast enough. It’s going to be a huge jump in game speed from WV AA ball to D1.

He is much faster than Loop. And from all I hear he just knows how to play the game of basketball. They say he makes the game look simple and will be even better around more skilled players.
