I've already posted about Jon on another thread, but since he has his own thread i'll post again. I have watched Jon play several times the last two years, the NOL (the conference he plays in) has several teams from my area. There are several rumors flying around that Jon and his father will be transferring to another school, Willard being a slight possibility. If Jon and his father do in fact stay at Upper Sandusky look for a couple of transfers to come in to fill out the starting 5. Rumors have it, that if he stays a 6'8 post from Kenton will be moving in.
Here's the story on his verbal to Valpo from several Upper fans: Jon's older brother Jake who was Co-d2 player of the year with Cook verballed to the Army at the beginning of his junior year. Although Jake is one hell of a basketball player, most d1 schools were not interested in him. After the verbal to Army most d1 schools recruiting him stopped. Before this season Jake went to take his physical for the Army. He failed it. With Jake's senior season close and no school really recruiting him because of the Army verbal, this kind of sent him into a scramble looking for another d1 school. Valpo came in at the last minute and offered as long as Jon would verbal with him. Jon, being the good brother, verballed so Jake could get the schollie. I am assuming as soon as Jake signs his LOI to Valpo, Jon will open his recruitment again.
One last interesting fact about the Diebler family, Jon's oldest brother (not sure of the name) played at Gibsonburg in the mid 90s I believe and was d4 player of the year averaging around 40 points per game.
