In this series, we will be a look at some quick hitters, the top player, potential breakout player, other roster roster members and notable games of the upcoming season. For today’s spotlight, we take a look at the University Trailblazers.
Quick Hitters
- Finished 22-3 last season
- Lost to Park Tudor in Sectionals
- Justin Blanding hired as head coach this offseason
Top Player: Bryce Gray
When it comes to under-the-radar guards in the in-state 2024 class, the 5’8 Bryce Gray is certainly one of them. He may be on the smaller end, but Gray’s playmaking ability on the ball is very fun to watch. Not only is he a good playmaker for his teammates, he is also a player that can be crafty enough to get buckets of his own. A sneaky good three-point shooter that can really knock them down from deep range. With the departures from a season ago, Gray is positioned to be the top guy for University this season.
Potential Breakout Player: Blake Gray Blake Gray 6'0" | SG University | 2026 IN
Now, let’s switch to the younger Gray as Blake is a player that could really see a bunch of progress made this season. Also on the smaller end when it comes to guards, the sophomore really turned a lot of heads at points this past summer with his incredible scoring ability. He is a shifty guard that has long arms and is a fluid athlete, creates his own shot off of the bounce with a tight handle, and has a quick shooting release. With Blake expected to have a bigger role this season at the varsity level, the Gray brothers could be an extremely fun duo to watch this season.
