Jaylen Blakes
- Thread starter bleediteveryday30

Could be the player we need. Four star means at least 2 to 3 years. OFC
I agree, Sky. I love the way his coach speaks about him too. Luol Deng played for him as well. So there's that connection too.
Sounds pretty good. We need a guy would be great to get a 4 year guy with leadership skills. If he can play D and can at least hold his own on O, he sounds like a great add. Really wish we would go after more Ivy like targets for our depth, continuity.

Hope so but when Steward and the like leaves early, never say never in these crazy times
Now that's what I have been talking about for months, a quality point guard to share time with, and learn from, Roach. I think that if we get him, we will have a really well-rounded recruiting class. OFC
I like the energy he plays with. I think that is what stands out that most. Nice first step, and step back too. He would be a steal if we could get him.
The question is will he be willing to wait his turn? Like how he attacks the basket.
Is he quick? Can he handle the ball and beat people off the dribble? Make a 3 at least 40% of the time?....if so, get him. If not, find a mature transfer aka someone who plays like any of the 3 Baylor guards....we need to get back to elite guard play like we used to have every year.
It doesn’t seem like guards are as polished coming in as they used to be. They either can shoot or are willing defenders. Not many do both anymore
Baylor’s 3 guards were juniors and seniors who developed over time. None of them were 5 stars. I’d personally like to get this kid who will contribute next year and get a transfer to contribute this year and next.
It would be humorous if Mac McClung came here. One person we should pursue if he enters is Coleman from Texas, who almost went to Duke out of high school. 4 year starter at PG for Texas.
The last guy I remember being called a warrior was another New Jersey guy, Lance Thomas. He ended up with a championship.
This guy reminds me of the guard on Rutgers who was lightly recruited and by his senior year was a stud. It seems to be happening more often now. And Blair is a nice program.
Hope we get him.

He receives an offer from Duke then he tells Zags this... could be getting hopes up but just saying
you are correct - Pitt offered today as well it looks like and BC offered on April 6th
Lots of offers. G Town, Pitt, U Conn, bunch of others. Likes playing D! 6'2" and 195. Like the size, strength for a PG.
Great article on 247. Looks like a great fit. Said he liked the culture and brotherhood at Blair Academy.

DBR seems pretty confident we get him this week. Good recruit, but also good enough to want minutes so we need to play him a bit.

Jaylen Blakes Picks Up A Duke Offer
Duke is moving fast very late in the recruiting process by making an offer to four star New Jersey point Guard Jaylen Blakes.
247sports.com
Read this and I think you will want him.
Wow I just read that. Outstanding. Sounds like Coleman. Yes please.
Pretty good chatter from some trusted (Duke) sources who like Duke’s position right now.
That's what we like to hear.
We need one guy like this in every recruiting class.
