Clarkston Adds Another Transfer.

Written Monday August 14th at 12:30 PM

First it was Thomas Kitchener, and now it’s Hank Schemmel.

According to Steve Ball of Bank Hoops, Schemmel will enroll at Clarkston this upcoming season to play for the Wolves Boys Basketball team.

Schemmel is a 6.7 Power Forward transferred from Maryland, meaning he will be eligible to play right away this upcoming winter.

Schemmel, whom will be a Senior joins an already stacked Wolves lineup led by Foster Loyer, Kitchener, CJ Robinson, Taylor Currie, Tristen Mysen, Kip Wells, and Chase Waslik.

Kitchener a few weeks ago transferred to Clarkston from Macomb Dakota.

Clarkston is the Defending Class A State Champions and is right now the odds on favorite to repeat as State Champs this season. Coach Dan Fife will have a Senior heavy lineup this season with five of them being transfers.

The Wolves by adding Schemmel will have one of deepest bench in the State. It is unknown if Schemmel has had any colleges looking at him. Clarkston has three players in their lineup in Loyer (Michigan State,) Kitchener (Michigan State,) Currie (Michigan,) and likely Robinson all being Division One recruits.

Thoughts.

This move just adds to the riches for Clarkston.

I don’t know what to think now with the Wolves, they have a very solid homegrown system (Fife Camp.) I don’t understand why transfers would want to come to Clarkston when this team has a very successful homegrown system.

This move makes the Wolves even More Senior heavy and you got to wonder if there is any weakness to beat Clarkston this season.

Stay tuned to OAA Now for the latest on this developing story.
