If Travis doesn’t start his kid out of the gate he is nuts

By far best kid on the floor for the Tigers

Kid is amazing!

Like ukfanatic said, Travis will rotate 10-11 guys in and out frequently with high intense pressure. Really doesn’t matter who the starting five is with the exception of positions.

The 5 in there at the end in a close game is who the coach trusts the most

Hbk that is one of the best aspects of this team. They are extremely unselfish and root for each other. It really doesn’t matter to them who starts. Trey will play a lot and most likely be on the floor at the end of the game when it really matters. You have three seniors who have built up some sweat equity. It is going to be an awesome year

Honestly the only reason I’m even going to the scrimmage Tony got is to watch Robertson. He better not disappoint

Really good scrimmage. Waverly looked really good. Portsmouth is athletic but undisciplined. Will win some games will lose some. Frailini can really shoot it. Didn’t handle Waverlys pressure well at all. Unioto is solid. Not much size. The little kid will certainly help them be solid. Won’t win the svc but will be competitive every night in that league. Should win more than there share. Really excited to see what Waverly can do

... Waverly WILL give everyone fits with their pressure on the perimeter - more so than the did even last year ... can't wait until the 12/1 match-ups at Piketon ... the talent, the speed/quickness the Tigers won't be OUTSIDE the Elite 8 long I'm thinkin' ...

It’s hard to really make an assessment based off a scrimmage. So many different rotations, coaches trying different things and lineups. Not sure at any point the best five for any team was on the floor at the same time but it was still competitive. Got a little sloppy at the end from kids being tired. And I’m not sure if anyone else could tell but I can tell the difference in the football players. Mine is nowhere close to being at proper conditioning to be effective an entire game.

Portsmouth kid is solid

Remington is quick as a cat and doesn’t get tired. Fast feet and fast hands. All their guards are quick and physical. Definitely can see them wearing teams down mentally and physically

... going back to PRIOR to LAST season - I watched Waverly at a scrimmage with Fairland, Warren and 5 or so other schools ... one of the things I noticed was that Waverly was obviously quick, but they were "strong" at ALL positions ... didn't have the BIGS but could play with anyone due to their quickness/TEAM physicality & strength ... sounds like THESE qualities are still the norm for Coach Robertson's Tigers ... how did Robertson the Younger look at the varsity level ?

Robertson looked really well I was surprised. Hit a few 3’s, took care of the ball and wasn’t a liability with his size on the other end. Smallwood really surprised me. He has nice hops and good touch around the rim

... good to hear about Robertson - I like those undersized "players" who you KNOW are the gym rats, those kids that are tough as nails, know how to play a fundamental game that makes them THAT MUCH better than others of bigger size/strength... and the fact that he IS darn good - puts smile on my face - I haven't seen him play and I LIKE THE KID'S GAME ALREADY ! he's on par with Caleb Wallis of Jackson - again an undersized player who KNOWS how to play the game, and is THE kid you remember when you walk away from a game because of ALL of the facets of the game he gets and plays at a high level ...
