What is all the fuss about?

Wingfield scored 17 points, grabbed 17 rebounds, swiped eight balls, blocked six shots, and dished out three assists in his first-ever varsity contest in a 42-37 win over a good Bethel-Tate team.

The Country Day freshman proved he wasn’t a one-hit wonder scoring 19 points, snagging eight rebounds, and dropping three dimes in a 67-18 triumph of New Miami.

Many consider "DJ" one of the top freshmen in the state of ohio, if not the top dog. DJ has produced at the Varsity level all year long. I'll be curious to see where he plays AAU (Cincinnati team, All-Ohio...the best recruiters in the state, or if he travels to Indiana).

So I know it's early on... but if UC extends the offer, is he their's to lose, or is little Winfield looking to blaze his own trail?...

DJ is playing with Team Jordan (I "believe" this is Alex Meacham's AAU organization in Cincy).

For those unaware, Meacham was a former walkon when Huggins coached at UC.

FWIW, I have very limited info on DJ. I'd assume that his father's ties to UC can only help.

DJ Wingfield will be transferring to Lockland over a disagreement with the CCD head coach.

I would think WVU would have the best shot at him considering the Huggins ties. If this kid is nearly as good as his father, I hope he picks UC. Still a long ways off though.

Agreed.


However, it appears that he is a BCS talent. Good size and skill for a youngster.

Wingfield put up massive numbers as a freshman in high school playing for a weak team against bad competition, but the kid is no joke on the floor. At 6-foot-4 he isn't a point guard, but he has point guard tendencies. He is able to beat his man off the dribble going both right and left, and once in the lane he is a great passer with a feel for the game. Now he does need to be a consistent jump shooter as his future is on the wing, but in an upset win over the All-Ohio Red 15's, Wingfield was the best player on the floor and took over the second half with his play. He looks to still be growing physically, and with his understanding of the game, his future is very bright.

The class of 2013 wing was solid in helping his Team Jordan squad pullout a big win. Wingfield is someone who absolutely loves to use the middle of the floor. All of his drives come from the wing and go to the midline where he either uses his excellent court vision to get a bucket for a teammate, or converts with athleticism and a solid jump shot. He does need to improve on catch and shoot situations from deep, but his passing and natural instinct to score make him a good looking prospect going forward.

Gonna be a tough battle. Really depends on what the kid is thinking. Does he want to follow in his Dad's footsteps at either UC or playing for Huggs? Or does he want to blaze his own trail and go elsewhere? Does he even want to stay in his hometown?

Gonna be interesting.
