You could remarkably help your basketball movement by winning the maiden medal for your country's U18 national team; You could play with different teams in different scenarios still winning multiple seasonal awards and gaining promotions With eight months still away from turning 20 years of age, Johann Grunloh has done all of that in a matter of two or three seasons the head coach who called the plays all the way to the bronze medal for Germany at the FIBA U18 European Championship 2023 I think that would be too much," he said in an interview with the Basketball Champions League's official website But that's how Grunloh has been amazing audiences The 2005-born center is a defensive storm you may underestimate when noticing at first during shootarounds for instance; but you can't take your eyes off him once the game starts "The first time I realized he might have been something special was probably in practice," Joel Aminu recalls They have been together for three seasons now His current teammate at RASTA Vechta joined the orange side in 2021-22 and "wasn't playing much," but his commitment even during intense practices was nothing but undeniable "He was holding his own even at a young age and never backed down from competition," Aminu praised Grunloh That's one secret for his early success: being competitive Those would be the first three things that come to my mind That's the first impression he gave me," RASTA Vechta's head coach Martin Schiller commented about his young center "It's not only the things he did on the court [at the FIBA U18 European Championship 2023] but also the person he is off the court," Germany U18's head coach added "I think that's just as great if not even more worthwhile for every team I remember when we were with the national team that summer he really wanted to work on his shot and he stayed after every single practice," he followed It wasn't as easy as doing it during a club's season "Even during the [FIBA U18] European Championship when practice time is limited because you play seven games in nine days he tried to get his shots in and really worked on that That speaks volumes about his personality and his work ethic," Held also said about Grunloh's commitment a familiar face was helping from the sideline as an assistant coach on Held's staff "He is willing to learn and work hard He was one of the few guys that always came to me to work 15-20 minutes before practice or team sessions," Danilo Barthel joined the conversation about the 2005-born center we had trouble defending the pick-and-roll the way we wanted to do and then telling him exactly the angles in some sequence from practice within two days he was our best pick-and-roll defender," the former German national team member points out yes: that's the best and most unique weapon of Johann Grunloh's already wide arsenal In a world where everybody looks at what happens on the offensive end Just by looking at his last game in the Basketball Champions League - in his first-ever international campaign - on the road against Promitheas Patras BC Vikos Cola you get the feeling Johann's special when it comes to reading the opponents' moves Six (!) blocks and not a single one without ease which coincided with RASTA Vechta's first win in Group D and that's the first dot on the tip list we gladly give you to start dissecting the 2005-born German center's capabilities Setting the Basketball Champions League record for most blocks in a single game in just his fifth appearance in this competition is no easy task "Contesting shots with my wingspan and height make the opponents think twice if they want to shoot against me," Grunloh said Shot-blocking is surely what stands out the most when looking at his playing style RASTA Vechta's 19-year-old center is second for blocks per game at 3.2 - only Bertram Derthona Basket's Ismael Kamagate does better he's the one to watch on pick-and-roll defensive coverages "I'm still not perfect in it," he first states while talking to championsleague.basketball I'm only at the beginning to be perfect on it" it's still one of the most important parts of his game there's a 2-vs-1 situation against you You've got to read the movements of the other player and then you gotta decide where to help or if you have to contest a big man on a double-pass or go for the guard," he analyzed "I'm getting better at lateral movements against quicker guards on switch situations or post-ups against bigger big men who are stronger than me I hope in 2-3 years I'll be stronger too to play against bigger or stronger people." After RASTA Vechta's road clash against Galatasaray he thought back about facing Angel Delgado because he got quite a lot of offensive rebounds or tips," Grunloh commented That was his debut game in the Basketball Champions League and he still finished with an efficiency rating of 15 getting 12 points and 5 rebounds; Angel Delgado was slightly better at 14 points and 7 rebounds but also shot perfectly from two on six attempts and the German team's training department is already working on it "Physical bigs go ahead down low and draw fouls over him He's gonna get stronger as he gets older He actually added a lot of muscle this summer But we're talking [Angel] Delgado: that's a different topic" coach Schiller explained "He struggles a little bit with bigger That's an area where he can still improve but that's totally natural because he's young he's still got to add muscles every year But he's gotten a lot stronger in the last couple of years so it's getting better," Joel Aminu spoke about this specific matter the German team went up against Francesco Tabellini's ERA Nymburk "Christian Bishop sometimes beat me to the basket then driving right: that was probably too easy for him I could have defended better the alley-oop play I got from him," Grunloh was honest describing the matchup Coach Schiller has no doubts about his prospect's defensive skills "Being very focused and able to defend different pick-and-roll coverages is huge for him he's a pretty good rebounder and shot-blocker and those things definitely help there on the defense," RASTA Vechta's head coach said Grunloh's defense was crucial for the national team too in that aforementioned medal winning run in 2023 "Defensively he was outstanding for us It really helps when you have a big man like that who can impact the game in numerous ways While being a solid factor on the defensive end the 19-year-old is at the same time an interesting center in the making on offense "He's a split the screen and roll big which is good because he can put pressure on the rim in pick-and-roll," Schiller comments Held has the same impression as his colleague at RASTA Vechta and give you something where the opponent has to worry about protecting the paint because he's always a threat I think that just helps every team." he instantly thought about adding one component to his game when looking at him in practice this past summer "This year we added the three-point shot to his game our coaches work a lot on it and we put him in situations where he can feel the shooting rhythm offensively I think that's really there and it's something that we work on and keep developing." adding a three-point threat to his game widens even more of his options Is it a shot or is it an extra pass or potentially a drive That's something coaches and the whole staff are working on and I think it's really an upside in this game," Schiller added Watching him closely as he helped both RASTA Vechta and the organization's second team progress to higher standings in German basketball Joel Aminu can't do anything but enjoy his development process "Since when we started talking about plays in the preseason but now I see him work on the shot every day and he's been hitting it very well so far." Johann Grunloh is one of the best shooting centers out there both in the Basketball Champions League and the easyCredit Basketball Bundesliga Only attempting 1.4 three-pointers per game in Europe he's still converting them at a 42.9 percent rate; domestically In the recent winning stretch RASTA Vechta has had in Germany he has knoced them down at a 50.0 percent rate from beyond the arc against Brose Bamberg and Bayern Munich Back then [at the FIBA U18 European Championship 2023] he was able to shoot but he did not have the confidence in his shot I think this can be a big quality of him as a rim protector also to be able to pop out and be more flexible If he now learns to put the ball on the floor it's the next step to be even more dangerous in different situations," Danilo Barthel says Christian Held took the assist from his assistant coach "It will help him tremendously because now he will be a threat on offense all over the court making it really hard to predict what's happening: when setting the screen he can pop I think also his passing skills out of these situations get a lot better and that makes it just so hard to guard for every team," Held echoed the thoughts we heard from others Johann Grunloh himself is aware of the fact that his game is getting a lot more versatile but he's staying focused on which part of the game tells him to adjust Every other time I try to attack the basket being aggressive at the rim to not stretch the flow so the guard can do a layup or get a double pass," he spoke about unselfishness on the team Taking a big part in shaping the future of German basketball Johann has the ability to follow the footsteps left by his countrymen and predecessors RASTA Vechta's center is sure when asked to pick a guy whom he modeled his game after I looked up to all these national team players Isaiah Hartenstein has lived 15 minutes from me in Quakenbruck and I can really identify my game with his offensive rebounds and ability to block shots," he named his first pick "I also look up to Moritz Wagner in stretching out the floor To the ones who have worked alongside him in the past few years when thinking about a comparison with the 2005-born center Daniel Theis may be one of the closest ones" "I think a natural comparison is Isaiah Hartenstein and Daniel Theis" but good rim protector able to take the shot blocked it really impresses and reminds me of Daniel Theis," Danilo Barthel also gave his thoughts he was part of the first ever U18 German national team capable of winning a bronze medal at the FIBA U18 European Championship 2023 Grunloh and teammates lost only to Serbia in the Semi-Finals but managed to beat France in the Bronze Medal Game "It's a great honor to be the first U18 team for Germany to win a medal with Christian Held and Danilo Barthel," the center recalls "If you look at the guys who are playing at the top level from these U18 FIBA European Championships I think he really understood that and took the confidence out of this situation making the best out of it moving forward," Held made it clear there was last season's Basketball Champions League Best Young Player "I played with Tidjane Salaun at the Adidas Eurocamp in Treviso He's just the perfect fit for the NBA: tall put-back dunks," Grunloh praised the French sensation in that U18 French national team another Basketball Champions League NBA projected prospect was present "I think [Nolan] Traore is going to develop his game a little more having plenty of playing time in the LNB and BCL for Saint-Quentin Basket-Ball He's gonna be a great one for France," Johann commented on the 18-year-old point guard a potential rival in the battle for this season's Best Young Player award Considering the level of basketball he has been displaying recently it was only a matter of time until he could have an opportunity to start breathing the senior national team's atmosphere he was still called up by Alex Mumbru in the latest window of the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers "We had a team dinner and I sat next to Tibor Pleiss who has been all over Europe and the NBA: we talked about his career a lot It was nice getting some knowledge about all this stuff from an experienced player with Johannes Thiemann now playing in Japan knowing what it's like over there," he said Having a certain spot in the German national team is a matter of certainty for the 2023-24 BBL Best Young Player of the Year but right now his full focus is on extending RASTA Vechta's stay in the Basketball Champions League three of his teammates stepped up big time too We will improve over the season and get better each day," Grunloh commented it's not the first time he has managed to experience certain emotions with RASTA Vechta "It's a big family," he first described the club "I've been here for five or six years right now I got to experience basketball in different competitions each year That's what makes RASTA this special: learning on different levels." and the opportunities they gave him to develop and become the player he has become so far The main thing is Johann [Grunloh] and his ability to adjust to whatever level he's playing at That goes back to the person he is: being very mature understanding that this situation is unique I think not everybody could have done it the way or very few could have done it the way he's been doing it," his U18 German national team's head coach concluded Next time you see someone going up against the 2005-born center from RASTA Vechta whether it's the Basketball Champions League action or a weekend fixture in the German Bundesliga or a pick-and-roll situation could generate several outcomes Thanks to the break for the national teams, we take the opportunity to return to talk about scouting and players who are doing well from the European cups. After Darius McGhee we stop in Germany again to talk about Tyger Campbell of Rasta Vechta Tyger is a product of the prestigious UCLA university with which he reached the finals of the PAC-12 Conference in 2022 and 2023 A positive adventure with the Bruins given that he will reach 2nd place in the university's assist rankings behind only Pooh Richardson with 655 a sign of great reliability in the control room He made himself eligible for the 2023 NBA Draft but was not chosen and so he decided to start his pro career in Europe more precisely from the small Saint-Quentin with whom he averages 9 points In the summer he signed with the German team Rasta Vechta with whom he had the chance to take part in a cup like the BCL for the first time "Playmaking ball handler” this is how Tyger Cambell is defined we are talking about a rare example (today) of a point guard who thinks mainly about getting his teammates into rhythm rather than his own solution Not a very tall player but who always plays with his head up in order to read how his teammates are moving Campbell is in fact skilled in building from the pick'n'roll (and also pick'n'pop) in these situations he produces 4.4 points per 4.2 possessions Even better when he has to set up a teammate for a spot-up shot where XNUMX points are made 5.4 points per 4.4 possessions View post on imgur.com Campell is also a talented offensive player 180 cm (probably considering his thick hair) and 82 kg Dimensions that would not encourage hanging around the paint remarkable change of speed to beat his direct opponent and get to the basket he is always in control of the ball and is also skilled at changing hands in the air to avoid the big men's attempt to block he is reasonably built to absorb contact and gain extra trips to the free throw line We are talking about the solution most used by the former UCLA player (56%) from where he produces 6.9 points per 8.1 possessions equal to 0.851 PPP View post on imgur.com Campbell also makes his presence felt in his own half Good lateral mobility to resist the dribbling starts of the opposing wingers he puts a lot of defensive pressure on the ball carrier Let's also add a good dose of intensity and the will not to give up directs the team to best deploy in response to the situation created opponents will try to push him into the low post with taller and more physically fit players but Tyger will certainly never back down from playing hard defense and driving him into mistakes View post on imgur.com The only thing to keep in mind when thinking about a higher level step is the fact that he is often prone to injury during his young career A factor that could make the insiders rethink email and website in this browser for the next time I comment On Sunday 13 April 2025, we warmly invite you to the 103rd Spring Elite Auction at the Oldenburg Horse Center in Vechta we present a collection of high-quality dressage and show jumping horses you will have the opportunity to get a first impression of our collection online Join us live as the riding horses of the 103rd Spring Elite Auction are presented under saddle Follow the livestream on our website, via Horse24, or on ClipMyHorse.tv Easter Market on April 13 from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM an Easter market will take place on the riding arena offering entertainment for the whole family with numerous exhibitors showcasing garden The auction weekend kicks off with the 14th Saddle Licensing on Friday The young stallions impress with their movement talent and rideability Some of these stallions will also be auctioned Find an overview of the entire collection here: www.oldenburger-auktion.com The auction candidates can be purchased live on-site If you do not yet have a valid account with HORSE24 If you have any questions about the collection please reach out to the HORSE24 support team Feel free to contact our team for any questions about the collection or to schedule an appointment to get to know and try out your favorite horse Philip Bölle: +49(0)171-1893792 or boelle.philip@oldenburger-horses.com  and the finest foals of the year await you in the collection of the 35th Elite Foal Auction anyone seeking top quality in dressage or show jumping can find the perfect young talent and enjoy an unforgettable day in an impressive auction atmosphere From the premiere crop of Bon my Love: HP Ter Amour by Bon my Love -

Here we explain how you can bid for your preferred candidate General information/telephone bidding orders/catalogues: The second day of the 2019 OIdenburg Stallion Licensing in Vechta began with a slow start in the morning The second phase with the dressage horses moving in freedom was scheduled for the afternoon which meant that we had a whole morning off for fun and relaxation especially after a rather short and chilly night missing blanket weight for a good night's sleep had breakfast together before deciding that we needed a brisk walk to get blood flowing through our system ahead of another whole afternoon sitting on our bums eating sugar and watching stallions float by We decided on making our traditional stop at the Schockemöhle tack shop in Mühlen to discover beautiful horse equipment I don't need and never use as well as catch up on the latest trends and styles in equestrian fashion It is interesting to see the ludicrous equipment they make nowadays as well as the crazy as well amazing colour combinations that are now on offer while in the 1990s there were only four colours in tack on the market: black Stig and I cruised around the shop before taking a seat at the coffee bar and drink a trough of tasty cappuccino gorging on delicious but unnecessary calories of chocolate cookies on offer I recently read this inspirational quote on someone's Facebook page: 'Food is fuel That line rung through my head for......a millisecond... before I decided to take my fifth cookie out of the jar What's the point?In a futile attempt to burn off 50 kcalories of the 380 I had eaten because of the cookies we walked the 1.4 kilometer distance from the tack shop to the Schockemöhle stallion station where we wanted to get up close and personal with the famous dressage sires Although the station houses some of the world's most respected and frequented dressage sires visiting the stud is always opens a mixed bag of emotions expressionless and one incredibly pained on his feet Vitalis was the star of the day with his sweet personality offering his head and neck for incessant cuddles and scratches On the way back we had lovely conversations about life German architecture and beekeeping and insect houses We drove back to the Vechta show grounds for a quick lunch (mushroom soup with white bread and three small pieces of the sugar-overdose fruitcake (yes yes this is going to be one of those food days from hell) I went back to the indoor arena a bit early to find myself and my friends a good seat in the reserved press seats and ended up sitting in front of French Olympian Jessica Michel-Botton and Alex Lafflea of Haras de Malleret It was nice to establish the French Connection and share opinions and impressions of the colts that paraded by in front our noses Bon Coeur x De NiroThe movement in freedom is always the key day of the licensing Some colts that appeared good on the lunge fell apart in freedom and others that still struggled with the side reins and balance on the lunge line moved with power and expression in freedom Although I hadn't mentioned him in yesterday's blog Heinrich Giesselmann's Bellany (by Bon Coeur x De Niro x Langata Son x Pik Bube I - bred by Sigrid Schmidt) had given an excellent impression on the lunge line As he is catalog number 40 and the first stallion to go on the lunge yesterday you sort of say to yourself: "yes he's nice but let's see how he compares to the rest." Today this chestnut star was in exactly the same position: first to go in freedom and boy did he look good He might be a little sickle hocked but his trot was with rhythm good engagement from behind and wonderful uphill self carriage The walk was good with a clear 4-beat rhythm. I think he has become my favourite of the crop.. There were more stallions that confirmed or improved the impression I had of them Heike Albert's Dico Magic (by Desperado x Don Romantic x Rohdiamant) this liver chestnut colt was much nicer in freedom with a quicker hindleg and a good walk although overall he could come up more in front Another good improver in freedom was For Austria (by For Romance I x Diamond Hit x Landadel) bred by Rolf Peter Schulze and owned by Austrian Red Bull billionaire Dietrich Mateschitz of Gut Admontbichl in Austria This big horse trotted with much ground cover and cadence although he could use his back in a better way and be more uphill oriented I am an avid believer in good behaviour and manners even if the environments is difficult to cope with and high pressure would get in line for an immediate "snip snip" treatment if it were up to me The Oldenburg licensing committee was not bothered by the fact that the KWPN stallion McDreamy TS (by Dream Boy x Furst Heinrich x Gribaldi) was difficult in the mouth  on the lunge line as well as being so frolicky he ended up crashing on the ground and getting back up has a very pretty front and a quick hindleg but he was naughty and annoying he truly seemed like a kid in the terrible two's and I doubt that he'll grow out of it Blue Hors stud's Blue Hors Fortron (by For Romance II x Desperados x Wolken-Hit x Manstein) was my favourite on the lunge line but in freedom he was a bit more tense and shy in his movements He did not flow as much through the body and only at the end of his round he started to express suspension and cadence Still one to watch for the future and amongst the best of this year's lot Dico MagicHelgstrand's Foundation x San Amour x Caprimond was nice on the lunge but appeared very heavy and old fashioned in freedom He carried his tail like a broomstick and paddled with the right front Paul Schockemöhle's very weird moving Mister U.S (by Grey Flanell out of Sondra (the dam of Pavo Cup winner Total U.S.) fortunately got rejected but moved in entirely two pieces and had a sloping croup The British bred Calcourt Frank (by Franklin x Dolany x Linaro) was drop dead gorgeous in type but his hectic gaits could not convince me Also the walk was poor and it was a total riddle to me why he got licensed Same goes for the heavy Indigo KSpirit (by Ibiza x Fidertanz x De Niro) which certainly was much better today in freedom with much more self carriage and spring but he failed to show a proper walk: approved! Helgstrand's Rockabye S (by Revolution x Belstaff) had a good walk and in the extended trot he really impressed He had good self carriage despite easily going wide Helgstrand's So Perfect (by Sezuan x Sir Donnerhall I x Rohdiamant) is much of the same recipe: big wielding hind legs that propel the horse forward with much power He had much self carriage and showed much flexion in the hocks but his hindlegs were long The walk had good overtrack but got quick in the rhythm The Maxim-N (by Toto Jr x Johnson) was a cute bay with a bigger body and tiny refined legs underneath sporty look and a walk with much overtrack but unclear rhythm were good enough for a green light from the licensing committee For Romance II x DesperadosThe Vincent Maranello x Destano x Silvio (now named Zuperman) but the horse always made himself long over the topline stretching down and he appeared quite cold in his demeanor and reaction to the surrounding stimuli In walk he could have marched more out of the shoulder Finally as last to go was the Danish bred HP Valentino (by Vitalis out of A La Fasine (by Ampere x Furst Romancier) bred by Lone Boegh Henriksen and owned by Andreas Helgstrand lightfooted trot in freedom but could be stronger in the topline but there should be more V-moment in the rhythm The evening ended with a fat German meal of meat and potatoes in our cosy hotel with the entire group gathered around a big long table The conversation was never ending with each of us sharing impressions and opinions of the horses as well as moving beyond today's affairs and sharing life matters amongst friends Usually we end our Vechta nights with the group meeting in one of the hotel rooms for drinks banter and laughter to continue over champagne but this year all of us felt too tired and just went to bed Photos © Astrid Appels -
