I seriously doubt Diebler will transfer next year. I look for him to stay put and go after the scoring record. He has already signed with his dream school, has a state championship, and is coached by his dad. What would be better then breaking the record? (Besides maybe another championship.)

If he does transfer it could be Oak Hill or possibly even a Toledo School. (There has been several rumblings about him and his dad transfering to a Toledo School for the last couple of years.) I question him transferring to Oak Hill largely based on him being so close to the scoring record. If he transfers to Oak Hill, Ohio's scoring record will remain with Burson or go to Mayo.

Like I said, I look for him to stay at Upper. I also look for a couple of quality basketball players to possibly transfer in to give him a better supporting cast next year. (This is all speculation, I have been wrong before, he could transfer.)

I am originally from this area and there are consistent rumors that his Dad is looking around.......FWIW.

Every year there is consistent rumors about Diebler looking around. Even when Diebler has a good team he is looking for something better. A good example of this would be last year. Several rumors surfaced he was after the Ottawa Glandorf job after Sweet left. Of course, it never happened, and Upper Sandusky went on to a state championship. I believe he coached in the Toledo area before he coached at Fostoria. The youngest Diebler played for Gibsonburg, so I know they were somewhere near Toledo at the time. (BTW, the oldest Diebler was a pretty good basketball player himself. He averaged around 40 points his senior year, and was named D4 POY if I remember correctly.)

Sorry for getting off topic, back to Jon Diebler.

[FONT=arial,sans-serif]Mr. Basketball Candidates
Now that the regular season is in the books, debate will begin on who will walk away with Ohio's prestigious Mr. Basketball award, given to the top player in the state amongst all divisions.

This year, it seems as if anyone could walk away with the honor. Unlike some years past, there is no "Chosen One."

Could a player from Northeast Ohio take the honor this year? There are several players who definitely are in contention. Lets take a look at some of the possible candidates[/FONT]


Finally, a few votes could to Upper Sandusky's Jon Diebler. The 6-foot-5 junior is one of the top scorers in the state this year. He scored a whopping 77 points in a single game, the seventh-highest total in Ohio history. He followed up that performance with a 52-point outburst soon thereafter. The Ohio State commitment is averaging an astounding 39 points per game on the year.

He looks funny in that first picture.

It is good to see that he brings excitement to the game.

Also why is still isnt huge, he seems to be getting bigger and with those long arms I think he has the frame to be very good, once he gains the weight.

Last nights Game:

Upper Sandusky wins 73-60 over the Norwalk Truckers. It was the third meeting of the two Northern Ohio League teams this season and the third Upper Sandusky win.

Jon had 28 points in the game. Late in the first half there was a scare when Jon hit the floor hard and came up holding his elbow. Not sure which elbow it was. Jon sat for the remainder of the half (at least he was sitting when my signal cut out with only a minute or so left in the half). At breakfast this morning I heard that the elbow was hyper-extended. It must not have been too severe, but Jon's point total is even more impressive considering the injury.

I listened to the game on the radio while driving to Toledo for a meeting & I was only able to listen to the first half before getting out of range. It was a tight game until the third quarter when Upper exploded for something like 25 pts to Norwalk's 11 pts.

Up next for Jon and the Rams is Willard on Saturday night. Willard is undefeated and handed Upper two of its five losses during the regular season. Willard is really good this season, so this will be a tough one for Upper to win- but with the way Jon has been shooting and also rebounding and blocking shots, there is a definate chance. He has really stepped up big during these playoffs.

Thanks for the update. I hope he is at full go by Saturday. Upper will need their best effort to beat Willard this weekend. Two previous meetings between the two with Jon at his best netted the Rams two losses.
