I bet AP English participation is probably a pretty good predictor of enjoying wasting time on message boards.

I can do a rough version of the prologue to the Cantebury Tales in Middle English. I don’t even know when I acquired that, had to be AP English. And my Julius Caesar mingles with my Hamlet in a way only Google can save. All leading me to the conclusion that Blake is good.

I think a he’s a legit 6’10, definitely taller than 6’8 anyway

Nickname wise I think my favorite would be just calling him The Cannon. He’s big, powerful, and might shoot every once and a while.

If he really is like Mike Tobey and Jay Huff, he’ll continuously get taller in the minds of our fans until his eligibility runs out. The driving force behind this will inevitably be the yearly photo taken at our player/coach softball tournament.

I’m expecting his unofficial height to reach somewhere in the ballpark of 7’4 by his third year here.

That’s a very interesting comparison. Bobby Jones was pretty fluid and really moved well was pretty much strictly a 4 but could put the ball on the floor. I would say he’s not quite as fluid as Jones, maybe a little better suited to the post position than Jones and might have a bigger offensive upside.

Funny that you bring up Bobby Jones, I was just thinking the other day that T.J. Power reminded me a little of his contemporary, Gus Girard, except Gus didn’t have as good a perimeter shot as Power and Power may not be quite as bouncy as Gus.

I love his baby hook shot - either hand. He even banked in a hook shot in the highlights. Underrated weapon in the post.

So we beat out Gonzaga for 2 bigs in 2022 and 2023. Seems like a big deal whether they were prioritized by the zags or not.
