Scoring doing the talking for Ohio guard

Junior shooting guard Brayden Sipple has been scoring at a rate that will make any college coach take notice.The Blanchester High guard leads the entire state of Ohio in scoring by over three points a game, averaging 34.6 points a contest.

While he's only received low major offers to date, Big Ten schools have taken notice. Indiana hosted him for a recent home game with Maryland and following that he made the trip to Value City Arena to see the home state Buckeyes host the Hoosiers on February 1st.
Peegs.com made the trip to the Cincinnati area on Tuesday night to get a glimpse of the 6-foot-4 prospect.

Sipple did not disappoint, dropping 43 points as Blanchester pulled away for a 92-65 home win over Leesburg-Fairfield.It was the fifth time this season he's scored 40 or more points in a game. Sipple scored in a variety of ways, many off his own defense as he recorded six steals on the night. His nice length is used at the top of extended pressure by coach Adam Weber and many of those points come on the break, where he's equally effective going to the basket or pulling up for a short jumper.

"His transition downhill game is you're either gonna follow him or he's gonna finish or he's gonna dunk," Weber said. "It's probably the part of his game that there really isn't an answer for. His pull up jumper, it's something we worked on so much between his freshman and sophomore more. He has the spot up three game. He's got the downhill penetration game and when you can stop on a dime and rise up and use your elevation, it's hard to target even contest that shot without fouling him."Blanchester is now 18-1 on the season and should be a difficult opponent for the bigger name Cincinnati area schools it will likely face in the upcoming Ohio playoffs.

Sipple told us he wants to study business management in college.

He enjoyed both of the recent Indiana games he took in and spoke about Bloomington trip for the Maryland game.

"The arena was nice, the atmosphere was crazy," Sipple said. "The fans, they got loud and it was awesome."

Haven't heard his name mentioned for several months but anyone interested in watching him play here's your chance tonight with tentative tipoffs at 6:20, 8:00 and 9:00.

I'm not aware that we've expressed any real interest in Jeremy Sochan who attends La Lumiere HS but an interesting twist and wonder if any others might follow his path.  

From Corey Evans -  Top-40 forward Jeremy Sochan confirms that in light of the ongoing pandemic, he will complete his high school career overseas. College is still the desirable landing spot come fall, 2021.

More background on Alexis Reyes including the fact he took an unofficial to IU in the fall of 2018.

He would be a project as part of a four or five player class. Pretty good offer list though.

Rivals has a full highlight video — excellent fundamentals on the shooting stroke, definitely playing below the rim.

Committing on Sept 9
Evidently IU is on the radar since they are in the edit

I’m guessing IU chances are slim since this is the first I’m hearing of his name unless I missed something Lol

Didn't Coach Roberts play a year or two in Oregon prior to Prep School?  I wonder if there is a connection there?
