[nice guy]

The Pioneers are 18-5. They had a game that they did not make-up.

Nice preview and from what I saw last night sounds about right. I don't think that they will have an answer for Zac and the point spread will be much larger. Whatever it is I just want that WIN!!!! Go Tigers!!!

[sparky]

any common opponents?

[WIFAN-22]

None this year....

[TribeManiac10]

Other than the 8pt spread I agree with everything in the preview. I think it will be a 20-25pt Ironton win.

IMO, this region is Ironton's to lose. The Tigers have too much talent, they can press, play a fast or slower pace. These young men must show up and play every night bc you cannot take anything for granted at tournament time.

I think this is an intriguing matchup. Definitely, Ironton should have upper hand, however, Zane Trace has horses inside, and some athletes themselves. If they slow this game down, they find ways to hang in there. This game may be closer than many think. Will be fun to see Beam and Fletcher go at it. I expect Ironton to come out on top. Hope to see a Piketon/Ironton matchup once again down the road!

I don't know if anybody in the SE has an answer for Carter.. I've seen him take D-1 talent and turn them inside out..if he wants to take it to the hole, he will.. Carter and Fletcher give them the WOW factor that most teams lack.. Some good teams still left but they have the WOW factor that sets them apart and no I am not from Ironton.. Just being honest..

How many points has he(Carter) scored in his high school career? How does he compare to Humpty Hitchens from Chillicothe? What college is he going to attend? Is he a senior?

I know he's well over 1000, and is the top scorer in Ironton basketball history. He is a senior. I have to plead ignorance about your other questions.

[on a mission]

1700?? No offers as of yet. The driving force to keep working hard and take his team to the next level......YES!!

I have Carter at 1,675 (may be off by a few) career points. I have heard NKU (Northern Kentucky U) is interested, but I don't know if this is an actual offer. Coincidentally, NKU is where Dennis Gagai ended up after starting at WVU.

I serioauly doubts he goes to NKU unless he doesn't like a bigger college. I can see him playing at Akron, OU or bigger. OSU will need a new point guard next year after Craft graduates. He can learn the system by watching for a year and then take it over his Sophomore year.

[86Tiger]

It's just sad. The kid has definetly proven that he is good enough but because of his size they are staying away. Zac Plays much bigger than he is!!! I hope that someone is smart enough to take a chance on him. Go Zac and Go tigers!!!!!!

[WIFAN-22]

I really, really, love Zacs game, but OHIO STATE? I dont know about that Craft is 6'2, and has a hard time getting his own shots sometimes over the larger guards. I will give Zac this he probably has the speed to do it, but unfortunately Big DI schools are going to look at his height. I can however see a MAC school.

[ML247]

Ironton by 30 plus...watched both teams Saturday... Carter may out score ZT by himself

He does not have a D1 offer to this point. It is very late in the recruiting process to pick one up. I'm sure he would be ecstatic to get an offer from NKU or a MAC school. Ohio State is not going to look at anyone outside of the top 50 ranked point guards in the country.

I think a lot of people could see him at a larger school, but those larger schools must reciprocate by giving an offer to come play for them. Whether it be due to stature, grades, or anything else.... they are not calling for him yet. I, unfortunately, don't see it happening either. I do think he could be a nice fit at OU.... kinda the same mould as Cooper.

I think Zac is way better than 6'1 PJ Hill that played for the Bux a few years back... FYI the Bobcats have 2 listed at 5'10...
