Nathanial Massie Jr
Elijah Lucas Jr

Ian Miller Sr

Lancers graduate 4 seniors that see a lot of time. Only one starter
They will start 5 seniors next year, have 2 more seniors coming off the bench, 3 juniors that will see time and a super talented freshman that I believe will go straight to varsity. He is gonna be very very good.

As for those who return, Landon Hines a jr. and Braylon Howell a soph. are the only rotation players coming back. Oaks are gonna be young and unexperienced with a brand new coaching staff next year. Might be the first really down year they’ve had in a while.

Jackson

Graduated :Wallis, Caden Donaldson, Griffin Brown

Returning for 2020-21

SR Braxton Hammond 6’3, All FAC, 2nd team all-District 16+ points 5-6x, great defender

JR Drew Bragg 6’2, HM all-District ....will be a key scorer with others picking up from seniors lost

JR Evan Spires 6’1, recovered late from football leg break and a talented and savvy ball player. Very strong and forces turnovers

SR Boston Kuhn 5’11, shooter who went 17+ points 3x, improved on defense. Will be a scorer next year as well

JR Logan Miller 6’2....guessing 6’3 next season. Great JV season and can do it all. Stat filler. Sees floor great. Big rebounder.

JR Nate Woodard 6’2....guessing 6’4 next year (Dad 6’6)...great shooter, knows where to be to get the shot. Long. Nicely improved his defense this year. Was key JV player with Miller

JR Holden Blankenship 5’8....returned final 2 games from season long injury. Great athlete at everything he does. Could be starting PG next season.

SR Landon Erwin 6’1....was 9 man this year. Runs floor well and can bang with the bigs

SR Caleb Hutchinson 6’1...athletic kid that can slash and play good defense

SO Jacob Winters 6’2....was 8 man this season and runs floor great, strong as an ox. Can defend bigs

Others in the mix potentially:

SR Joe Crabtree 6’2, long with an outside shot and slashing abilities

JR Chris Hughes 5’11, athletic kid known for great hustle and defense

JR Geoffrey Jenkins 6’2, strong kid that is bet goes 6’4 next year and can be big in the lane

JR Trey Miller 6’0, shooter/scorer

SO Evan Jarvis 6’0, athletic build, will get stronger....solid at all parts

SO Kade Kinzel 5’7, maybe top returning ball handler in the program. Great freshman season, excellent long range shot

South Webster
Bockway - 17ppg, the only height we have. Can
Block with the best of em
Corriell - Stellar point guard. One of the best
Smith - lights out 3 point shooter. Team captain
G Ruth - defensive POY candidate SOC 2. Finishes everytime at the basket.

That’s 4 starters

Bringing in 20-21 I’m pretty sure the starting 5 will look like this
The Truth Trae Zimmerman - Potential district POY I think. Started every game since a freshman
Brady Blizzard - hard nose aggression
Aiden Andrews on the point as a senior.
Cam Carpenter - played a lot of varsity this year. 6’3 or so. He can do it all
Either Collins or Lower for that last spot. Collins has the body but stone hands. Lower pretty high strung and never saw a shot he doesn’t like.

So one senior next year

SR Tanner Smallwood 6’6” Center

JR Zeke Brown 6’3” Forward
8.6 ppg, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals

SO Trey Robertson 5’8” Guard
21 ppg, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals

SO Will Futhey 6’5” Forward
11 ppg, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal

SO Mark Stulley 5’8” Guard
2.6 ppg, 2 assists, 1.7 rebounds, 1 steal

SR Grayson Diener 6’2” Forward
7th man plays great defense....

Waverly currently 19-5 and playing in the District returns basically 4 starters in Robertson, Futhey, Brown & Stulley. Stulley was a starter until being injured in the foundation game. Goodman, with no varsity experience, stepped into the starting roll and never relinquished it.

Waverly looks to add a healthy Haydn Shanks (6’4” Senior to be) who has missed the entire season due to his football injury. He appears to be ahead of schedule with his rehabilitation.
Tigers also look for Senior to be Gage Wheeler to be back in the fold. He will add to the already great guard play of Robertson and Stulley. Gage Started and played the entire game against Warren and did a great job.

Some to keep an eye on are Wade Futhey (Jr to be guard), Eli Crabtree (Sr to be big body), Jackson Wise (Sr to be Forward), Hudson Kelly (So to be guard).

Hope to hear some more good news by the end of March...... could def. affect your preseason ranking.

Wade Futhey a very streaky shooter, must be accounted for

I wonder to myself if Will Futhey keeps playing. Great player no doubt but a big D1 football recruit...sometimes that gets in the way of things. (Jackson knows this)...Shsnks as well. I hope they all continue playing (Carrico did) but sometimes big recruits get input from future coaches.

OSU encouraged Will to be a three sport athlete. I think he plans to run track which should help him tremendously heading into the summer workouts. He will be camping at OSU as well as others I’m sure.
Yes, Carrico playing bball his Jr. year after committing to OSU. I’d like to see what OSU tells him after football next year.

Carrico will be graduating early and enrolling for Spring semester at tOSU next year, so he won't be playing basketball.
