It sounds like it will be a mid-major battle for him. In doing some quick searching (as I had just left Indiana so didn't do the AAU circuit) he didn't do enough on during AAU season to get on the radar of the big boys. My guess is he will be a fringe shooter for them if they need one and that's his only hope. Most still think he is too small to guard athletic HM guards. He'd likely need a HM program with a plodding offensive scheme and a lot of help defense.

Obviously with us having JB, it sounds like he'd be a similar player to him as those were the same complaints he got on the AAU circuit.

Luke scored 34 in a come from behind win today over Southridge in the North Daviess holiday tournament!!

He was only 2-11 from 3
 
This guy should definitely be a big time Target for us. I don't really see him as a guy with high major offers. He'd be a very helpful scorer and shooter in general.

Definitely! Hopefully he is target #1 or 1A for the class of 2021, his passing skills are unparalleled in Indiana at this point!

Luke and the Bruins play at 6pm today in the North Daviees tournament, tune in to the Blackford sports network on YouTube to watch live!
 
Assuming these are his only offers so far, very interesting that we're the only MVC team in the bunch. Come to the MVC Luke!

Kent State
Indiana State

What's our history with his head coach? Isn't the head coach a legend from one of the big Indianapolis schools? I'm wondering if we've had any historical success recruiting his past players. It shouldn't matter, but it could.

I think our biggest challenger might be Ball State, it's close to Hartford City and those fans who fill the Blackford gym for all their home games would probably attend his games at Ball State as well

Coach Hoover was part of the Dave Schellhase staff that was unceremoniously dismissed at ISU several years ago. Serious doubt if he took any ISU love with him.
 
Blackford lost big time to Barr Reeve tonight 78-56

Luke had 29 points on 5-10 FG, 4-8 from 3

They will play tomorrow again

They may have a coaching change soon. Whitford has been there seven years (I think) and hasn’t done too much. Had two good years. Overall is about 15 games under .500

Blackford got blown out in their game today against Loogootee 79-63

Luke had 27 points on 8-12 shooting, but only 2-7 from 3, so not a great tournament for the Bruins

January 3rd they host Randolph Southern on the Blackford Sports Network

I checked the box score on the Barr-Reeve game and nobody else was in double figures. How many assists does he avg/game? Does he not get much support/balance? Looks like the opposition will simply "let him have his 30" but shutdown everyone else.
