DC Blue Devils 16 & U Roster Breakdown : Grassroots, Maryland / DC.
The DC Blue Devils 16 & U team is loaded with size and talent. We will be following them closely this spring and summer.
#0, Marvin Price, 6’5″, SG, Patterson HS, Baltimore, MD, 2019.
Marvin is a star on the rise and he led Patterson HS to a 26-3 record, The Baltimore City Championship and a Maryland State 2A Title this past season. He earned Baltimore Sun 1st Team All Met and he is a consensus top 75 recruit in the nation. The lefty wing has a an excellent pull up game, thrives in transition and has potential to be a lock down defender.
#1, Heru Bligen, 6’2″, PG, St. Andrews HS, MD, 2019.
Heru is currently ranked #20 in our 2019 Maryland/DC rankings. Prep Hoops Senior Staff Writer Adam Ayalew said this about Heru earlier this year, “Heru Bligen is quickly making a name for himself locally among the other top sophomore point guards. He is a long, lanky athletic play making guard who can absolutely lock up on the perimeter.”
#2, Evan Buckley, 6’0″, PG, Stone Bridge HS, VA, 2019.
Senior Staff Writer Adam Ayalew said this about Evan earlier this year, “Evan Buckley is another guard who has really improved offensively. The tough & unselfish guard leads his team in both scoring (18.3) and assists (4.5), and is second in rebounding and made threes. Bucknell, New Hampshire, and American have each extended recent scholarship offers to the hard-worker.”
#2, Christian Turner, 6’5″, SF, Takoma Academy, MD, 2018.
We will be writing an update for Christian in the near future.
#2, Preston Bacon, 6’2″, PG, The Potomac School, VA, 2019.
Preston was awarded Capitol Hoop Fest 16 & U All-Tournament Team in late March of this year. He has started his freshmen and sophomore years for The Potomac School and is a local PG on the rise.
