Plays alongside Damezi’s little brother.

High major offers starting to accumulate.

National profile is trending in the right direction.

Seems like a Durham/Franklin-like player.

Likely we will get a visit, eh?

 

[Stuhoo]

42% from 3pt in national tournament AAU this summer on a kid with length and a motor.

Now THAT’S an Indiana kid we should be showing interest in. 

Not enough of a feel-good Jimmy Chitwood-esque back story for you?

For me? 

Those of you who are griping about  ‘settlIng’ and having expectations far below what they should be for a historically excellent program, yet are pushing for Archie to spend recruiting time and effort on a kid with MAC abilities instead of a kid like Wesley are maybe being jest a tad wee bit hypocritical.

Curious to see where this class ultimately ends up. Love this size we are going after. Plus he can knock down a shot.

Highly sought after kids work really hard on their game too:

So many options in this class.

[mdn82]

Yeah this will be Archie’s sink or swim class. Too many really good/great options to lay an egg. To this point he has recruited the state pretty good. He has great options within the state in 2021.

Brian Snow after the release of 247's latest rankings for the '21 class -  Who Has Potential To Keep Rising

https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/Star-potential-five-star-class-of-2021-rankings-Blake-Wesley-JerDarrion-Davison-Jordan-Hawkins-Daimion-Collins-Ernest-Ross-135772445/

In the Midwest, one prospect who has the upside to see a major jump if things come together is Wesley. Wesley is a big guard who is almost 6-foot-5, has great length, an ability to handle the basketball, and is excellent at getting to places on the court using his dribble.

Seen as the No. 87 prospect in the updated rankings, Wesley has a lot of the physical tools that you would want in a top guard prospect.

Now the question with Wesley is, how consistent can he get with his jumper. He already has a decent looking shooting stroke, but the results can be extremely hit or miss. If Wesley can refine the jump shot, then he has a chance to make a big move forward in the rankings.

Already Wesley is the focus of an intense recruitment with offers from Notre Dame, Purdue, Indiana, Xavier, Butler, Cincinnati and others.

No 'inside information,' but I could easily see Wesley being our first commit for 2021 - seems the interest is mutual and there are a lot of arrows pointing towards Bloomington.
