Cooper Sandusky Gives Taylor a Returning Rebounding Foundation
Updated: 15 hours ago
Taylor • Class of 2028 • Cincinnati-area boys basketball • 2026–27
Cooper Sandusky enters his junior season with a useful varsity contribution already in place. Taylor's returning player earned CHL honorable mention and finished among the league's leading rebounders in 2025–26.
Why the next winter is worth following
The official ledger credits Sandusky with 146 rebounds in 23 games, a 6.3 average. Fifty-four came at the offensive end. That gives his returning-player case a clear focus beyond a points total. Recovering missed shots can keep an offense alive, while controlling the defensive glass allows a team to choose its next possession instead of defending again.
The offensive portion of Sandusky's rebounding total gives Taylor a particular source of returning value. Fifty-four recovered misses represent additional chances that the first shot did not produce. The next step is making sure those chances lead to controlled, useful decisions as the team develops its new scoring combinations.

Wolfe Sports outlook
The next Taylor group will have to develop after the graduation of senior scorer Noah Wentz and other experienced contributors. Watch whether Sandusky can preserve his work on the glass while becoming more involved in the decisions that follow it. A controlled outlet or a patient pass after an offensive rebound can make his existing strength more valuable throughout the game.
