hard to say.. somebody in this thread said they asked his coach and he IS reclassifying. but again, may be just rumor. He is visiting on the 10 and 11th though, not this weekend.

 

Grimala's latest LVSun article says that Blake is a 2020 recruit.  The article says that he is reclassifying from 2019 to 2020.  If that is true how often does that happen?

It would be nice for this kid to come our way in either year.

Wish he was reclassifying but I guess still room for a grad transfer. 

It sounds like, from an RJ article, that the kid graduated but, will play a post-graduate season at an academy.  Makes me wonder if he is missing a required course or perhaps his test scores/GPA isn't where it needs to be.  But, the PH guy above says we are getting a good student so I'm not sure.  Also, the K-State guys were looking at him as a 2019 recruit so he must have met the qualifications.

Listen to his commitment video.  Also read his interviews.  He’s real intelligent.

He was originally in the 2019 class but was not getting much "high major" interest yet last fall and decided to extend his prep career to draw more interest.  At that time he had 8 MWC offers, but UNLV was not one of them... Menzies' staff seemed more focused on recruiting the midwest and foriegn players.

In late April TJO gave Nick Blake his UNLV offer, and within a week of that he finally started getting the P5 offers... Kansas State, Colorado, ASU, and Washington State.  At that point the need to play an extra season to attract interest was no longer necessary.

Nick Blake should be a four star prospect when it’s all said and done.  Physically he looks similar to Patrick McCaw but has an alpha mentality like Bryce Dejean-Jones (RIP).

yeah, I think he is, depending on which site you look at.

And that's an interesting comparison.
