Gillian Adds Karl Ziegler to 2012 Class
Longwood head coach Mike Gillian has added a fifth member to his 2012 recruiting class in 6'6, 215 lbs forward Karl Ziegler from Fishburne Military Academy. As ESPN’s Dave Telep announced:
Karl Ziegler 6'6 215 WF Fishburne Military School commits to Longwood University of the Big South
Ziegler played his high school ball at Annandale High School before prepping at Fishburne. He is a 2-star recruit and the highest rated commit so far for the 2012 class. Here is how ESPN described Ziegler’s strengths:
Karl is a jack-of-all-trades who was a big scorer in high school. He possesses a knack for making plays. His ball-handling ability and versatility make him the “glue guy” every team wins with. He has an all-around game offensively and capable of playing anywhere on the floor. Offensively he is a good passer with a high basketball IQ. He moves well without the ball and displays good decisions on shot selection. He is a good three-point shooter but not a guy who lives on it. Karl’s strength on offense is his the ability to score in a lot of areas of the floor. He has a knack for finishing in traffic as well as drawing contact. Simply put he can score the ball and is very efficient on the floor. Defensively he does a good job in getting into the passing lanes and rebounding.
Longwood is likely not done with their 2012 class and will add more depth to Lancers’ roster in the coming days. The Lancers signed Nik Brown, Lucas Woodhouse, Frank Holloway, and Kirk Staine earlier this year.
