Walt Gibler

Position PF Height 6-7 Weight 210 School St. Xavier Hometown Cincinnati Incoming Year 2008
Offered By Loyola-Chicago

Initially posted by NickSkin on 06/19/06 at 10:05 pm

2008 PROSPECT: Walt is a combo-forward who averaged 14ppg, 7 rpg, 2 blocks per game and was named HM All-State as a Sophomore. Still growing so who knows how tall Walt will end up. He has the frame to grow into a PF, Miami and the local SW Ohio schools are interested.  Walt averaged 16 ppg as a Junior.

Here’s what Phil Kasiecki of Hoopville.com has to say about Walt:

Impressive post player had a solid showing with his scoring and rebounding. His post offense already looks mature, while he rebounded very well and will surely get even better with both as he gets stronger.

Here’s what Hoopmasters.com has to say about Walt:

This sweet shooting wing has range to 20-feet, can score off the dribble, or create opportunities for his teammates.

Over the final four games of the season (St X lost Div I state championship to Moeller 43-40), Gibler outplayed UD-bound 6-8 Chris Wright (19 points and 14 rebounds to Wright’s 16 points and 7 rebounds), Withrow’s 6-9 Yancey Gates (28 points to 8 points), scored 8 against OSU-bound, 7-2 Kosta Koufas (who tallied 13) in St X’s 45-34 semifinal win, and then led all scorers in the championship game with 21 points (Moeller’s Tabler led his team with 11) in another tenacious defensive battle. He showed remarkable free-throw shooting ability under pressure in the championship game.

In those games Junior Gibler was facing arguably four of the top 10 Division 1 players of the year (Wright and Koufas First-Team All-Ohio Division 1 and Yates and Tabler were Second-Team Division 1).
