I will be very interested to see the next young student athlete that doesn't "run" on the Under Armour circuit. Just sayin'.

Now, has this kid reclassified? I think I remember him signing.....and actually playing like 5 years at SWOMO.

I've also taken note.

I believe you are thinking of Blake Ahern. Maybe Barry named his son after Blake - there's a shot fake joke there somewhere

It listed him at 6'7 and 240 on Rivals. I know. They always fudge a little on heights and weights. They had a video from his HS frosh year and just wow. He was already as big as he is now and he has handles to spare.

[SlyShock]

Damn. All I can say.

[ShockerPhi]

Lol. The fact that he performs like a SG but is 6'7 and looks like he weighs 220 lbs, that's just insane. And he just finished up his sophomore year in high school? Yeesh

But can he beat this?

[Dan]

That's what you call a power guard! Needs to drop about 20 lbs so he can guard the little guys on the perimeter. Power forward with serious range for sure.

More likely a P5 tight end, I suspect.

Blake is transferring to Sunrise. Had a big summer and will probably land on Top 100 from several sites. You have to remember he also has several high-major D1 football offers, so this seems like a good indication he's leaning towards playing hoops in college.

Its ironic that the timing of this announcement comes a month or so following WSU's scholarship offer. Hmmmmm. Is there any connection perhaps?

With this guys size to go with his perimeter skill level, he would be a dynamite stretch PF to go with D'Antoni Gordon at the other forward.

[Aargh]

He's leaving for Sunrise August 16. That will get him here in time to get into some pickup games at CKA.

My unsolicited advise to young Mr. Hinson, which is worth exactly what he is paying for it, would be to go the college basketball route. That still leaves the opportunity to play football open. He would not be the 1st NFL tight end to have played college basketball. OTOH, you don't here to many college football players moving on to the NBA.

One thing's for certain, at the very least the Shocks will get an unofficial visit from Blake.

It's been done. For example, Tony Gonzalez played both football and basketball for Cal. There are probably more.
