Falcons Have First Men's Basketball Verbal for 13-14

A report in Falcon Fodder tells us the Falcons have their first men's basketball verbal for the next season (13-14)--Zach Denny.

He is a 6'2" G from Germantown which is down by Dayton.  He's an offensive dynamo, scoring 28 points as a junior.  That's a DII school, which isn't too small.  According to the Blade article, he was a slasher in HS but on his AAU team he is an outside shooter and he's been doing well at that too.  His HS coach calls him a scorer, "first and foremost."

ESPN ranks him as a 1-star recruit.  He had 5 other D1 offers.

Certainly, to the extent that he's a pure scorer, he represents something we don't get much of in our program.   We've had a couple other guys with gaudy scoring stats in HS who haven't translated, but they were bigger players with a distinct size advantage, which I assume is not the case here.

It will be interesting to watch him during his senior year...

Welcome to the Falcons, Zach.
