2025 G Transfer Blake Harper (Commit)

I have Blake as my starting 3 man along with 3 other newcomers. Jackson is the only returner to start. The team is loaded at every position except point guard. A dream would be for Mac to continue coaching the Jays for another 40-50 years.

Agreed, I too dream about Greg McDermott coaching until he's 111 years old.

Huge get to round off the class. 45, 40, and 82.5% shooting splits are crazy for a true freshman.

I read that Blake had conditioning issues leading up to the season. That makes me think there's a chance he could get faster/stronger with another offseason or two. That, and his potential as a ++ sized playmaker/defender makes his upside really exciting. It would be huge to get 2 years of Blake.

If you watch his junior year hudl videos... he was like a chubby, short kid to start the year and then the highlights at the end of the year you can see him getting taller and slimming down. Crazy going from a chubby 6'0" tall kid who is a role player on his high school team to being a 6'8" millionaire on a top 3 team in the big east in the span of 2-3 years.

it's definitely not common, but some guys are just crazy late bloomers. JP and Anthony Davis come to mind.

This year the log jam was at the 4. Next year the log jam will be at the 3 which is much better for roster versatility.

Log jam at the 3 is fine since you can move guys to the 2 or 4. There should be lots of position less basketball for the jays next season.

Agree with BleedBlue here. With the way our offense has run for a while, we have a PG, a center and 3 wings. The key is finding defensive matchups that work.
