“I heard from Bowling Green a little,” said Gibson.
The Falcons sputtered to the finish line, losing 11 of their final 14 games. First-year head coach Michael Huger did sign two important guards last fall though.
Rodrick Caldwell and Dylan Frye will elevate the point guard position in the near future. Could Kameron Gibson help too?
“He has a ton of potential,” said Walnut Hills Head Coach Ricardo Hill. “He is a 6-foot-3 point guard. He will probably be a MAC-type guy. This is kind of his first year in the spotlight.”
Gibson is now enjoying the shine because he added height to his evolving game.
“I used to be 6-foot-1 and I grew two inches in the summer,” said Gibson. “The difference in my game now is that I am kind of more confident. Now I get to have the ability to score more, and create for my teammates.”
Coach Hill thinks Gibson is still growing.
“Super athlete,” gushed Coach Hill. “Good feel for the game. Good pace for the game. He has a nice outside shot. He just runs the show. Combo.”
With WHHS, Kameron Gibson can operate on or off the ball. His size suggests he could morph into a playmaker or scorer as needed. Keeping defenders away from the ball is so important, and Gibson is capable.
Evaluations
“Akron came to our open gyms,” said KameronGibson. “I saw them play. A couple of people I know went there (Isaiah Johnson, Kwan Cheatham Jr.)
Three years back, Akron Head Coach Keith Dambrot plucked Johnson from the very same Walnut Hills High. Now the formerly raw center earned All-MAC First Team honors.
Gibson counts Johnson as a friend. The connection helps Gibson learn more about the program. He actually watched Akron play in the NCAA Tournament this week, but Johnson’s college career will conclude before Gibson’s begins.
Radford came to a couple practices this winter. Of all the midwestern options, Gibson has a couple he really wants to attract eventually.
“I want to hear from a couple more, like West Virginia,” said Gibson. “Xavier…yeah, a couple colleges like that.”
Gibson’s brother plays for Ohio-Midwestern, a tiny school just north of downtown Cincinnati. Jaleel Gibson attended Mt. Healthy and competes for OMU. With an impactful AAU run for Shining Stars 16u, the younger Gibson intends to open up more doors.
Coach Hill sees Gibson popping onto the scene this spring.
