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.
Your site is really good and the posts are just wonderful. Thank you and keep doing your great work.
