German talents in the USA

[bsgermany]

The most interesting ones in the NCAA currently should be:

Elias Harris (SF/6'7''ft./201cm): Gonzaga
http://www.si.com/2009_images/elias-harris.jpg
Currently one of the nations top freshmen, playing for the University of Gonzaga, averaging 13,9 points / 7,6 rebounds / 1,1 Steals in only 27,5 minutes while starting all 14 games so far.

Yesterday he was leading Gonzaga to an 85-83 win at Illinois with 19 points and 16 rebounds.
The game before (83-69 win over Oklahoma), he drove in 15 points and 9 rebounds as their most effective player again.

Lucca Staiger (SG/6'5''ft./196cm): Iowa State University
http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com/dmr/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/aawimvjlvaczwpj20090102181505.jpg
Averaging 8,9 points / 1,7 rebounds / 1,5 Assists while starting all 12 games for the University of Iowa State, being their top threepoint-shooter with 33 (41,3%).

Christian Standhardinger (SF/6'8''ft./203cm): University of Nebraska
http://www.diejungeliga.de/pics/medien//big_image_1233835776671.png
Still banned from official games due to his contract with a semi pro team in Germany in the 08/09 season. Had two impressive performances in exhibition games earlier this season, averaging 17,5 points & 7,0 rebounds. He will return to the team soon and play the second half of the season.

Nick Schneiders (C/7'3''ft./221cm): USC Upstate
http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/ucscu/sports/genrel/auto_action/2802396.jpeg
Currently averaging 11,5 ppg., 7,0 rpg. and an impressive 3,5 blocked shots per game in his senior year there.

[xtf_no4]

Standhardinger will play his first game next Saturday against Texas A&M.

Other Germans that moved to NCAA this season are Max Rockmann (UMKC), Davis Martens (Siena) but also Kevin Schaffartzik and Thomas Schoeps who play at Odessa Junior College or Akeem Vargas who plays at the Iowa Lakes CC.

Additionally, you find some more names in NAIA for example

[rikhardur]

Standhardinger is being heavily targeted by Filipinos given his ancestry, despite the fact he already played for German national teams.

[robbe]

I think Harris is playing mainly power forward for the Zags, at least he was in one of the preseason tournaments I watched.

Not the position I see him on on pro level, lets hope he develops his overall game.

Filipinos here in the Forum tend to target everyone who's surname may sound Filipino and is proven to be able to hold a ball, particularly when he's above 6'0''. :D

Yes, but Standhardinger is not that case.

[bsgermany]

There was already a discussion about that in the Pinoy section, but I still believe that Standhardinger will be better off sticking to Germany - something he actually did already in youth NT's, wearing the German jersey.

[xtf_no4]

Standhardinger will play for Germany for sure. Why should he play for the Philippines. He should be the future of the German NT together with Harris, Benzing, Ohlbrecht in the next years.

@robbe
Harris is mainly playing PF in the games I saw. I don't know if he particularly works on his outside skills, I am not present at the practices. But I think that currently he mainly uses his speed to beat slower PF. Haven't seen a game of him though since end of November.

[bsgermany]

Harris must have worked on his outside shooting lately 'cause he starts doing quite well lately from threepoint range. I have seen him cover both SF and PF at Gonzaga.

Lucca Staiger just helped Iowa State beat Houston 82-75 in double OT, scoring 18 points on 6 threepointers.

[xtf_no4]

Harris must have worked on his outside shooting lately 'cause he starts doing quite well lately from threepoint range.

good to mention that. I just checked his 3pt stats. He is at 7/10 over the last 5 games. Before that, he was at 2/10. We will see if that is just a streak at the moment or a real improvement. Let's hope for him it's the second

sourgraping mate? or threatened? :) better check Chris Facebook. For us.. it doesnt matter where he will play for as long as he aknowledges his roots.. your post about "pinoy's" is subjective and if you try to analyze my fellow Pinoy post they just want the best for chris for as long as he is happy with his decision.

"pinoy ako sa puso't diwa" (let my Fellow pinoy do the translation)

isnt it ironic?

Cheers

[bsgermany]

...and what exactly is your post supposed to tell us now? :D

Noone doubts that his mother is Pinay and that he therefore has filipino roots right? Still that doesn't mean anything regarding his future preference, particularly since he already played for Germany.
Athletes with ambitions usually tend to go where a) the money is b) the most challenging place respectively competetive league c) best possible teammates and coaching d) best NT perspectives (World Champs, Olympics etc.).
Does any of that speak for the Philippines rather than Europe or the german NT in particular? ;)

I always said anyway that he has a lot of talent, but still needs to develop and mature more. The time at Nebraska will probably do him very good. Let's wait and see how he developes there and how good he will turn out to be. If he will really turn out to be as good as we all hope, it will still be up to him (and not us) for which NT he's gonna decide to play.

[robbe]

Yesterday he was leading Gonzaga to an 85-83 win at Illinois with 19 points and 16 rebounds.
And scored the gamewinner 12 seconds from time. They went to him in the final two possessions. Also the key rebound at the end of the game.

He also had the basket to put them ahead near the end of regulation, on a similar play to the gamewinner. And a nice dunk in traffic earlier in the second half.

Draftexpress has him as the 15th pick in next year's draft.

[PRSURF]

I am surprised that no one mentioned Nick Schneider!


Nick Schnider, USC UPSTATE, 7'3(2.21), 11.5 ppg, 7 rpg, 3.5 bpg


#14 in this video with the green
PDrwMS53tIs

[bsgermany]

You are absolutely right - he should be mentioned with solid numbers like that!

[bsgermany]

Lucca Staiger with a terrible night yesterday against no. 5 seed Duke Bluedevils. Staiger and the rest of the normally sharp shooting Cyclones couldn't hit anything against these impressive title candidates.

Saturday the first regular game of Chris Standhardinger when Nebraska travels to Texas to face Texas A&M.

Nick Schneiders and his Spartans are traveling to Nashville to play Belmont tonight. Schneiders is currently among the top shotblockers in Division I averaging 3,5 bpg. in 13 games so far this season.

Elias Harris and Gonzaga will play St. Mary's on saturday.

[Fearless]

Schneiders was born in 1984, so he's not that young anymore..

[bsgermany]

Well, at the age of 25 he's still young enough to be interesting for the NT I would guess.

[PRSURF]

Schneiders was born in 1984, so he's not that young anymore..For a 7'3 he still young(he is senior, this is the last year in NCAA)

[bsgermany]

Talking about Schneiders - USC Upstate lost to Belmont by 10 with Schneiders playing 19 minutes and contributing 8 points, 5 rebounds, 3 blocked shots and a steal off the bench.

[robbe]

Draftexpress has him as the 15th pick in next year's draft.
Amazing what the right career choice can do for you.

In Germany, there wouldn't have been a single 1st league team offering him a starting job (which is a topic on its own). If I compare his European career to the references of other potential draftees, it is pretty obvious he'd probably never have made the draft. It's speculative he'd ever have left Germany at all.

And now he's considered 15th pick by Draftexpress ...

[bsgermany]

Standhardinger with 13 points, 7 rebounds and 1 Assist in 22 Minutes in his first regular season game for Nebraska. Quite a decent performance by Chris. I think w e will have a lot of fun watching the coming games and expect him to get more and more envolved on both ends of the floor. He could also become an interesting prospect for the german NT if he continues like that.

[bsgermany]

Elias Harris with another strong perofrmance in Gonzaga's 81-78 win over Portland. He contributed 18 points and 7 rebounds in 34 minutes of play.

USC Upstate lost again, but Nick Schneiders also with a strong performance with 19 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocked shots in 27 minutes.

Lucca Staiger with 10 points in 23 minutes in a narrow win against No. Dakota State.

[Fearless]

You should add this kid to the list, he had a heck of a losing effort for Portland..

He's already in the starting post now - thanks.

Robin Smeulders is born in Germany, but he is Dutch. He played for the Holland U20 National Team already in 2007 for example.

[bsgermany]

Which means he could still play for Germany if he and Germany wanted, but I remove him again. ;)

come on man dont be to harsh on us, for the record u have a filipina wife and a daughter who is 50% filipino blood running through her veins :D dont you find that funny? and whats your issues man? let Standhardinger decide where he wants to play and besides even if he have played for the germans u18 you got to face it he still and will be a filipino duh?! anyone from grade school knows that;) and if you still got issues with pinoys try to settle it with manny pacquiao and you'll see the 3 stars and the sun in your dreams thats the filipino pride should be :D peace out man

I don't care if a half filipino is considered filipino or german - I only care on which NT he's gonna end up. why letting a talent go that's already in our system ever since he started playing? ;)
That my daughter is half Pinay doesn't mean I don't want to see Chris play for Germany maybe at the next Euro Champs.
I wish the philippine team all the best and since Germany and the Philippines very likely won't play eachother often, I won't really get in trouble. Since I'm German, I naturally see Germany's interest first, just like you do with the Philippines.
No need to argue over this anyway, since Chris will decide himself what will be best for his career. Still I will follow up on his career and hope he's gonna remain German and continues to play for us.

ok no need to argue bout this Standhardinger let him decide where he wants to play.. but as for you man no need for this harsh comment on pinoys... watch your word.. :cool: peace out

[JGX]

Harris and Gonzaga have a big game on Thursday against St. Mary's...the Gaels have replaced Patrick Mills with another Australian star in Matthew Dellavedova and feature a strong front line with (lebanese eligible?) Omar Samhan and another Aussie Ben Allen. Also two more guys from last year's Australian U19 team coming off the bench.

[bsgermany]

Lucca Staiger with a strong performance in an 83-90 loss against No. 1 ranked Texas. Lucca contributed 19 points (4/8 three's), 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.

Chris Standhardinger on the other hand had a very tough time against No. 3 ranked Kansas, showing that he still has a fiew lessons to learn in a game, where favorit Kansas needed more than 30 minutes to start pulling away a little from Nebraska. Being used as PF again, the Kansas defense was still a little too much for him in the paint. Chris finished with 8 points and 2 rebounds on 2/8 shhoting inside while getting no shots at all outside this time.

Cool to see a quite a fiew fans holding up german flags in there to support Chris.

[bsgermany]

Elias Harris with a fantastic performance in Gonzaga's win over St. Mary's.

Harris was the top player with 31 points, 12 rebounds and 2 steals.

[bsgermany]

Nick Schneiders with another very solid performance in a 57-60 loss against Mercer. Nick contributed 21 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and once again 4 blocked shots.

[bsgermany]

Iowa State (Staiger) beat Nebraska (Standhardinger) 56-53.

Both players with rather quiet performances this time. Lucca Staiger still managed to contribute 7 points (2 three's) and 1 assist in 25 minutes, while Standhardinger hat trouble finding his game for the second game in a row, only playing 11 minutes while scoring 2 points.

Gonzaga once again had no trouble beating San Diego on the road with Elias Harris once again being their leading scorer with 20 while also grabbing 11 rebounds.

[bsgermany]

USC Upstate beat Kennesaw State 66-62.

Nick Schneiders with 10 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocked shots in 36 minutes.

I am telling you, this guy is good, he need to be in the NT!

[bsgermany]

I am telling you, this guy is good, he need to be in the NT!

Have you watched him already? His stats are quite impressive, but I haven't watched him live yet. A player with that height and such shot blocking skills as a backup behind Kaman doesn't sound too bad.

[Mojado]

Here is one upcoming high school player in the US:
http://w3.nbebasketball.com/2009/12/27/jarelle-reischel-fielding-big-east-interest/

Played already on the German-national team on a junior level but was never called up again once out of the country. Guess the German Basketball Federation is relying only on players on their turf. Amateurish coaches when you ask me. Get this kid for the U-18 /U-20 asap!

[bsgermany]

Yes - I read about Reischel before. I'm curious which college he's gonna choose. He might become a very interesting target even for the senior NT in 1-2 years.

It's not that players joining a US highschool or college are out of the picture. I'm quite sure he's still well observed, but for the junior teams, they probably rely more on players that are close by and permanently available.
On the college level for example, this is already a totally different story with guys like Staiger and Harris being pretty safe calls for the coming World Champs in Turkey.

[PRSURF]

Believe me when I say, that German youth coaches dont look over the ocean. Same happened with Max Groebe back then. When Fordham had Sebastian Greene, the Germans did not even knew about him at all.
There is no effort to put together the best team available but to put certain players together from teams where national-team coaches have friends in the coaching positions. Same old sad game...
I can only tell young players in Germany to move over the ocean. German youth system still sucks. Best example: Harris. He would have never made it this far if he stayed in Germany.

[robbe]

Lucca Staiger returning home: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=4840845

Rumors here are that it is ALBA Berlin. If this is really true, I don't understand the move. The guy needs playing time at this point of his career, and he won't get that much in Berlin.

[bsgermany]

I still hope it's not gonna be Alba Berlin he'll be playing for. If it is, I'd say it's a terrible mistake and a major step backwards in his development.
In Berlin, he would be choosing money over playing time because I'm very much convinced that he wouldn't be more than a role player there with very limited playing time. :(

[bsgermany]

USC Upstate beat North Florida 64-50 with Nick Schneiders contributing 18 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocked shots in 29 minutes.

Gonzaga beat Pepperdine 91-84 with Elias Harris shining again with 20 points, 13 rebounds and 1 steal in 34 minutes. NT coach Dirk Bauermann was there to keep in touch with Harris regarding the upcoming World Champs in Turkey.

[bsgermany]

Gonzaga surprisingly lost at San Francisco 77-81 in OT. Elias Harris again with a strong performance - 21 points, 8 rebounds & 2 assists.

8 points, 5 rebounds and a steal for Chris Standhardinger in Nebraska's win over Oklahoma.

Andy Buechert with 9 points & 8 rebounds in Winthrop's win over Coastal Carolina.

[bsgermany]

While Elias Harris continues to impress people in the U.S. and back home in Germany, Chris Standhardinger really struggles big time at Nebraska, being wasted as a PF by coach Sadler. In almost every game he played there so far at this (for him) quite unusal position, he didn't look too comfortable and couldn't use his shooting skills at all.
In my oppinion, he should get out of Nebraska as quickly as possible after the season to either join a college with a program, where he could get the chance to move back to SF, or even return back t Germany.
Under this coach at Nebraska, he most likely won't develop at all!

That is quite a similar situation to Lucca Staiger at Iowa State, where Staiger was limited to being a pretty one dimensional role player at SG by his coach while in Germany, he even played PG before. Staiger left Iowa State even during the season to join Alba Berlin, because he was stuck in a dead end street at Iowa State under a coach, woh seems to build up a record for loosing talented players to other colleges or clubs (maybe he should start to wonder why!?).

Ouch, they lost against the lab school. Had they lost against the law school, okay, but the lab school?

Acquahkofi is on a pretty mean scoring run though. Five against McLean school is a career high.

[robbe]

Gonzaga advanced to the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament with a win over FSU. Harris had 13 points on 5/10 shooting. Next: Syracuse.

Jarelle Reischel, a Point Pleasant Beach junior, is the Shore Player of the Year. - (Andrew Mills /The Star-Ledger)Shore player of the year: It's been an exciting time at Point Pleasant Beach High School, what with all the big-name college coaches and recruiters paying their respects.

And it will continue since forward Jarelle Reischel is just a junior.

``The list goes on and on. Rutgers and St. John's have already offered him scholarships," Point Pleasant Beach coach Nick Catania said. ``He's taken us to the next level. He's always working hard, pushing his teammates and making them better. He's the kind of kid who makes everyone around him better."

Reischel, who averaged 22.7 points, 13 rebounds, two steals and two assists per contest, transferred into the Ocean County school from Germany before his sophomore season. Besides Rutgers and St. John's, other suitors include Penn State, Temple, Maryland, Seton Hall, Georgetown, Providence and ``the entire Atlantic 10," according to the coach.

At a solid 6-6, 185, Reischel is a slasher who can pull up and pop the jumper. Catania likes him for something more than his athletic ability.

``He's the most special kid I've ever had," said Catania, in his sixth season. ``He's very coachable and a great teammate. He led the team in scoring and rebounding and was the hardest worker on the team.

``He's the hardest worker in practice. When we're done, he comes back and shoots some more. I have to kick him out of the gym."

Reischel, named the Kerwin Award recipient as the best player in the Shore Conference, led Point Pleasant Beach to a 20-6 record, a school-record for victories, and its first division title since 1968 as it won Class B Central of the Shore Conference with an 11-1 record.

``The funny thing about Jarelle is he could care less about stats," Catania said. "His greatest desire is to win. He was a motivating success in us going as far as we did this year (reaching the South Jersey, Group 1 final), and with him, we hope to build on that for next year.

He did the right thing by moving over the ocean at the right time. His pendant in Frankfurt back then was Filmore Beck who is still to this day an one-dimensional three-point specialist while Reischel turned from a shooter into a slasher. Hope rumours aren't true about him loosing his shooting touch a while ago. Was invited to the U-18 NT but I don't know what happened and why he is not on the team. Will be a solid college basketball player and should have a future in Europe later on.

[bsgermany]

From what I have heard, Reischel couldn't make the current tournament because of his highschool. Nevertheless, Germany is doing quite well at the Albert Schweitzer Tournament even without him.

Yeah they have.

Honestly, I can't wait til the new generation takes over and Nowitzki finally retires. Then, German basketball can focus on team rather than individual.

Oh well, that's two years from now. ;)

Standhardinger is being heavily targeted by Filipinos given his ancestry, despite the fact he already played for German national teams.

just like the germans wanted to play kaman to play in ther natl team

[rikhardur]

just like the germans wanted to play kaman to play in ther natl team
Totally different situations: Kaman was born in the US and never played for USA. Standhardinger was born in Germany and already played for the country.

We fans at Gonzaga are hoping that we'll be adding another young German talent to our roster this fall, Mathis Mönninghoff, pending receipt of satisfactory SAT test scores. He's said to be a very intelligent young man, so I have to believe he'll be on campus when school starts this fall. Fingers crossed, anyway.

In addition to Gonzaga mining Germany for talent, Niels Griffey has just verbally committed to UConn, traditional NCAA powerhouse. Gonzaga was also on Griffey's list of schools he was considering.

Just in case the stars align and Mönninghoff signs with Gonzaga, I have calendared the dates and places for all the German U18 games upcoming in coming weeks to cheer him on from across the pond.

I hope that Elias' maturity, discipline, work ethic, and talent is what we can expect to see if young Mr. Mönninghoff becomes a Zag.

This thread needs another photo, this one of Elias with point guard Demetri Goodson vs. Syracuse in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Unfortunately, Elias 24 points and 8 rebounds weren't enough to prevent a lopsided loss ...

Nets select Tibor Pleiss at no.31 of the Second Round in the NBA 2010 Draft.

[CKR13]

Tibor Pleiss' draft rights was traded to the Thunder.

[bsgermany]

The fact, that the Thunder payed 3 Million Dollars to the Hawks to get the rights to Pleiss into their hands indicates a strong interest by that team, to really plan with him in the future.

I'm really curious, how Harris and Benzing may do in next years draft. Particularly Benzing had a very strong showing in this years pre draftcamp in Treviso/Italy, and should be on quite a fiew teams lists.
Harris in my oppinion made a wise decision to spend another year at Gonzaga, despite being considered a sure 1st rounder in this years draft already. If he stays healthy and continues to develop his game, he should be a lock for next years 1st round, while my current guess would be, that Benzing will go at least early in the 2nd round.

Griffey at UConn next season will be just as interesting to watch, as Mönninghoffs development at Gonzaga. Both have very solid potential in my oppinion.

Rough day for this group of German talents ;)

Better showing for the Germans this year:

On this form they should dominate the French School and the British School!

Breunig, Giffey, Wolf, Reischel, Mönninghoff and others are only getting little to no playing time.
Elias Harris bulked up and is playing the 4 which ends his NBA dreams.

Although just a freshman, Reischel has already become a starter at Rice, Mario Blessing a starter at USC Upstate, Patrick Heckmann throughout most of the season a starter at Boston College, Dennis Kramer a pretty solid starter at San Diego, Sebastian Koch starting at Elon and of course Elias Harris the top player at Gonzaga.
Many others are only in their 1st or 2nd year, where it's not that unusual to be only a backup player.

Hello everybody,

I am looking for German basketball players in the NCAA. I am interested in getting a sport scholarship. I'm really good and tall ;). Of course the competition in the divisions in NCAA women's college basketball. Does anybody know how many sport scholarships exist? How do the coaches select the players? Do you have to go to training camps? I only found one German page with information (http://uniexperts.com/voraussetzungscheck-fuer-ein-basketballstipendium-usa) about this topic. I also visited the official National Collegiate Athletic Association site (www.ncaa.com) and wikipedia. I thought that this forum would help me to get some "insider" info about this topic. Thank you very much!

Happy to see another kid from the Rhein-Main area making strides in the U.S.

Malik is from Offenbach.
Others from the same area include Jarelle Reischel (Frankfurt & Rhode Island), Jon Mesghna (Frankfurt & Maine), Roland Nyama (Frankfurt & Stony Brook), Patrick Heckmann (Mainz & Boston College), Dominique Uhl (Frankfurt & Pt. Beach HS).

Urspring won the tournament. Muller was named MVP and Kenneth Ogbe joined a select group of 18 players (WTF?) on the all-tournament team.

Attended one game and watched a couple of games of Christian Standhardinger this season.
Compared to his days at Urspringschule, he is more of a power forward opposed to being more of a speedy and tall guard type. Not overly athletic and sometimes a bit rusty in his movement, he surprises opponents with a great assist or a dunk attempt. Pulls a lot of rebounds too and demands the ball everytime on the high post. Wonder what chance he has to make it to the NBA these days.
