James Blasczyk

[SubGod22]

7' 235 F. Friendswood (TX) Friendswood. Class of '09 **

He was in the class of '08 and someone we recruited before he committed to TCU. A coaching change has lead him to change his mind and attend prep school and will be reclassified to '09.

According to Rivals his only offers were from TCU and UTA. But he was recruited by 0U, Tulsa and Wichtia State. He may be someone to continue to keep an eye on.

Texas Hoops Analysis: JAMES is a long and thin paint player with good skills and a soft touch out to 18 feet. He runs the floor well, competes on the boards, contests shots in the paint and will mix it up physically on the low block. He has a nice tough on the low block, works well on the offensive glass and can step out and hit the face up jumper. He will have to add a lot of weight and strength to physically compete in the college game but he has the skills and competitiveness to succeed.

Good post SubGod22,

I was wondering about this kid or the center from TCU when we heard that GM had gone down to Fort Worth. You're right, this kid would be worth keeping up with.

As a general rule I can support anyone with five consonants in a row in their last name...and don't come with that "sometimes Y nonsense!" I know The Vowel Song like anyone.

10,100 posts and you can't spell the schools name right? :) J/K

Maybe they are trying to bring this kid in and we can write off Knox. We probably wouldn't need 4 of the tall trees on the roster.

Somehow, I just think he was being looked at when it was in doubt that Orukpe would be here, a backup plan, so to speak.

He impressed those at aTm this weekend and it is said that he's improved a lot. He has a good face up game with very good range.

Need I remind our posters that our pair of 7 footers are just at 220 lbs.

This kid has an unbelievable motor for a 7footer and a mean streak to go with it.I watched a game he was going up against J'aimson Morgan who is headed to UCLA,he totally dominated him,Morgan fouled out early in the 4th qtr.

[SubGod22]

Would having three seven footers be a bad thing?

Especially with two that can step out and shoot?

I can dream can't I? :D

JB is a true PF, will play for pay one day.

Blasczyk impresses MT at the Texas A&M camp. With Deandre Jordan going pro and looking down the bench, MT decides to offer Blasczyk. Blasczyk changes his mind will be at A&M this Fall.


PS. "Looking down the bench" is a commentary not included in the article.

Is it just me, or has MT's mindset undergone a change since he went south?

In what way? "Mindset" is pretty broad and could mean just about anything...
