Broad shouldered and athletic two guard is a smooth scorer.   Andre Blakley (Larkin – 2024) Blakley can flat out score it! One of the better pure bucket getters in the sophomore class should work well as part of their three-guard lineup.   [player_tooltip player_id="1285484" first="Tavariyuan" last="Williams"] (Leo – 2024) Williams left De La Salle for another CCL program in Leo. Rangy sophomore wing has greatly improved and can impact the game on both ends.
