Lindell Wigginton

[BCoffClone]

That's about the highest level of HS basketball you'll find.

Highest level as far as talent goes, but that doesn't mean they were playing well as a team. I was blown away by the individual talent, but there was not a lot of ball movement or assists. Maybe it had something to do with the nationally televised game, everyone was trying to show something to the audience.

I feel better about Preston to KU after that. Think he was about the 4th best post in that game.

Wigginton was impressive as well. Looked like he was pretty upset to not get the ball towards the end, like to see that.

Looks like he'll team very well with NWB and Jackson in the backcourt. Add in Lewis on wing and Young on the block and that's a nice team...Stokes is really missing out.

No ball movement and no assists? Sounds like us.

We aren't close to be done recruiting for 2017..

Any more Stokes out there? They're a dime a dozen, right?

This young man is legit folks. In my opinion, he is the sole reason Oak Hill is in this game.

Overall, very excited about Wigginton! Look forward to seeing him in Cardinal & Gold!!

For a team with a 56-game win streak, couldn't believe they didn't play tougher defense, but Bagley/Riley were beasts for Sierra. Self will improve Preston leaps and bounds next year. Actually thought Sierra attacked & found the open man and passed the ball better than our ISU team presently does.

But Cam Lard is not. Don't forget about him.

I thought Wiggington was the 2nd best player on the floor last night behind Bagley, who is an absolute stud. Give me Wiggington over Preston or Coleman any day. Was also quite impressed by the PG for the California team.

I do think Biancardi was right, that he will have to learn to not get too deep into the defense. With his quickness and leaping ability, if he could develop that 3-5 foot floater he''ll be really special.

The difference between Wigginton and most every other player on the floor last night was his ability to play within himself. He didn't force shots to try and score because he is confident in the type of player he is. That, to me, is a maturity thing. His coach has talked about how far he's come in his time at Oak Hill and you can just see that his basketball IQ is very high and it translates seamlessly.

I caught some of the game, and he seemed like a guy that is ready to play high level college ball and willing to fit in and play his role. It's such an advantage to play with and against high level players so frequently.

Oak Hill went to hero ball down the stretch and LW didn't touch the ball the last 2 minutes. He was the only reason they were still in the game after the 3rd qtr. would have liked to see him get some touches late. Very impressed with his ability to finish and moves around the rim.

 

[rholtgraves]

Wigginton looked really good. Got too sped up at times but man can he take it to the rim and score. Really excited about him. Also like that kid on their team going to Creighton who was draining 3s.
Coleman reminds me of Morris.

 

[rholtgraves]

I also think Preston looks like he could be really good but he needs some development. The fact he can hit 3s though was impressive for a big.

Bagley is a monster

 

[Rural]

He super-quick, strong, and plays the team game.

So who is going to be the first to post his highlights from last night?

Cade is creepy

Cade is creepy

He's just passionate. I think it's perfectly fine. If he was 10 years older... maybe not.

Cannot believe I am watching a ******* HS game on ESPN and actually enjoying it because an ISU recruit is in it and looking pretty damn good. Likey.

That hit me too. It's amazing how far the program has come as a whole.
