Blackford Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 No problem ...in addition to the kind of Disney like Movie script story ...the kid is a flat out gamer. Blackford has not been blessed with many solid players but I’ve been lucky enough to get to see several high school players who have gone on to successful college or pro careers. I’ve been especially fortunate to see two players MANY times who ended up being impact starting guards at IU and Purdue. Luke is farther along as a junior with shooting or ball handling and has a higher basketball iq than either of those two very talented players. He is undersized and doesn’t have “Jump off the page” athleticism so he will have challenges defending larger d1 guards and having on to wing players. He is extremely quick and gets lots of steals because he can anticipate plays but he will need another 15 pounds to be able to not be really taken advantage of inside the arc. He is listed at 6’2 and he isn’t in my opinion. He’s taller than me but not significantly my guess would be he’s a solid 6ft approaching 6’1 isn’t a crazy assessment but I’d be shocked if he was over that. He plays in the CIC conference at Blackford who recently switched from 3A to 2A as a result of reduced enrollment which has produced two state Champions in the last 4 years at the 2A state level ( frankton and oak hill ) and last year their schedule last year had 7 sectional champions. One concern is that of their 23 games 5-7 are against solid to great teams, 5ish are against extremely poor teams that don’t have business on the schedule and the others fall between those two. He is regularly double or triple teamed for the entirety of his games and I can’t recall him having an open shot unless he created it this entire year. He plays on INdiana Elite 2021 platinum team which was ranked nationally in the top 10 on the adidas gauntlet. He holds his own against top level D1 competition there and leads the team in assists. He has an insanely long resume some interesting stats or accomplishments are as follows : -most points scored by a freshman in an Ihsaa game -took a Blackford team on a 1-7O streak and won 15 games as freshman even missing the final 8 games of the year with injury -as a freshman he was the only player in the entire stare of any class level out of over 400 schools to have a 50/40/90 shooting percentage line - 3 games of 50 or more points including 2 with 55 - only sophomore to ever lead the state of Indiana in scoring at 35 points per game - as a junior he is leading the state in assists by over an assist per game at 10.2 and he is one tenth of a point off the scoring lead at 32.2 per game...no player in Indiana history has lead the state in both categories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
