A player flying under the radar for Division II to NAIA programs is Blake Hensley a 2017 Combo Guard for Cascia Hall. Hensley plays for Playmaker Express in the summer coached by Josh Berry (Muskogee Head Coach).
Hensley had a great performance on Saturday with Cascia Hall at Tulsa Team Camp. He ran the Point Guard spot for Cascia Hall with a great mix of finding his own shot and getting his teammates open looks. Hensley is okay with playing the point or the two.
“I play both at times in the summer and for school ball,” Hensley said. “At the Point I am best at getting to the basket and getting my teammates open. At the two I like being able to move without the ball.”
In my eyes Hensley will be best at the Point at the next level. He makes high basketball IQ’s with the basketball and rarely turns the ball over.
Hensley says academics will play a large role in his decision of what college to attend. He will have options with his high ACT score and great GPA. Hensley holds a 3.5 GPA with a 25 on his most recent ACT test.
“I will look for good academics,” Hensley said. “I like to play at a fast paced on the court where I am able to make plays with or without the ball in my hands.”
Hensley is working to get stronger this summer and being able to shoot more consistent off the dribble. He has high goals for his senior season.
“I want to make the State Tournament,” Hensley said.
Hensley knows he must improve along with Cascia Hall as a whole to be able to get to the State Tournament.
“I have to produce more points and be able to lock the other teams best player down on defense,” Hensley said. “As a team we have to improve on sharing the ball and making the extra pass.”
Hensley is a player that has flown under the radar for most of his career. Prep Hoops projects Hensley as a Division II to NAIA player at the next level.
