(2024) - (W) Diamint Blazi

[Stuhoo 76,291]

First year in the US from France. Unranked and off the radar. VERY athletic pogo stick big. VERY raw--maybe a redshirt candidate if we offer.

Visiting IU this week.

Here's a video of him slamming while basically unguarded:

For sure. But if someone has to be the 13th player on the roster, it should be a reach with high upside. Now if he's the 10th or 11th player on the roster? Yikes.

As in..”exploring whether we will have at least 11 or 12 players without him?”

Curious to see who else sniffs around, not sure we’ll get a service ranking him until that indicates more. But toolsy is good, and late risers are often underrated.

For anyone interested, Jordan Christian has several full games on YouTube. Will probably watch a couple tonight.

That might be brutal. Per his bio, the Jordan Christian coach is also the school's Headmaster (K-12 enrollment 152) Dean, Athletic Director, and Administrator.  This is a parking lot basketball factory barely-there school if there ever was one. 

Warning lights flashing brightly.

Still frame from the Ant Wright video.  Don’t have any idea about what his hand looks like but is said to have a 42” vertical…that looks like it might be legit.

Hey, look, what Perea was supposed to be able to do but actually couldn’t.

Justin Smith could jump through the roof, but would airball an 8-foot jump shot.

Man, those were the days!

I want this kid just for his name alone. So many nickname possibilities, possible Tim Priller fan vibe lol

I was thinking Hanner. Incredible athletes, but beither him nor Smith could catch a cold. Worst. Hands. Ever.

I agree with Stu, if this kid seems to have potential, redshirt him and see where it leads. Unlikely to actually utilize that 13th slot for anyone useful.
