About Blake
Expert Analysis
Jack Herron | Prep Hoops Scout
Fitzgerald transferred back to Flint Hill after spending last year at Highland, and he is the undisputed go-to guy and he showed that by putting up big numbers in all four of their games on the weekend. The 6’7” hybrid forward showed a ton of confidence and was very aggressive looking to score the ball, he showed his athleticism with a couple of big time flushes in transition and when he got downhill, he was excellent in the midrange with his pull-up and knocked down shots from deep off the catch, and he was very good converting in traffic and getting to the line when he got to the rim.

Blake is among the top performers in the entire event and showed his physicality and scoring versatility; although he’s the biggest player on the Flint Hills roster, he can play inside or out. He is the perfect prototypical stretch 4 or athletic wing. He shot it at a high percentage and also scored at an efficient rate inside. Blake will be a name brought up often as one of the top players in VA in his class and has a legitimate chance to be a Division 1 prospect with his long-term upside.

-Methodical but effective, Fitzgerald continues a productive streak of play back at Flint Hill under first-year HC Kevin Harris. Fitzgerald split double teams with spin moves to score in the paint, was very active on the offensive glass, knocked down 18′ jumpers off the catch, and is much more comfortable as a decision-maker in transition that initiates the break with his defensive rebounds. If he can quicken his footspeed and vertical pop, I’d expect D1 programs to get involved more heavily as the rising junior’s stock continues its upward trajectory.

Fitzgerald transferred back to Flint Hill after a big season at Highland last year, and he’ll be a big part of a Huskies team that will be a dark horse team in the DMV this year. The 6’7” hybrid forward is a walking mismatch who can shoot it and put it on the deck on the perimeter, he can post up smaller defenders in the paint with good touch around the rim, he is a sneaky athlete who can play above the rim and is a good rim protector, and he’s a good passer for his position too.

He is comfortable handling the ball, can create opportunities for teammates as a passer and is a capable perimeter shot maker. Fitzgerald also consistently plays with a high motor on both ends of the floor.

Fitzgerald was one of the top player for a talented Team AKT team that was very successful on the Hoop Group circuit. A reclassed prospect into the 2028 class, the Flint Hill forward is a skilled, athletic combo forward who can pass, dribble and shoot it at all three levels. He has a high basketball IQ and plays with a high motor. Fitzgerald should see an uptick in his recruitment the during the next 6-12 months.

One of the clear winners for the month of June, Fitzgerald put up video game numbers as he makes a loud case as one of the best hybrid forwards in the state of Virginia. It all starts with his relentless motor that emerges with his rebounding presence at both ends, investing multiple efforts on given possessions that help shift momentum and his balance as a scorer at 6’7″-6’8.” Flint Hill spent their two weekends at DeMatha without knowing what a loss felt like as Fitzgerald engined them to a 5-0 showing behind 30.5PPG, 15RPG and 2.5 stocks (steals + blocks) per game.

18p 6r 4a 1s 2b vs Gonzaga
-One of the more underrated inside-out wings in the area, Fitzgerald kept the good times rolling as the head of the snake for a Flint Hill team that #1 seed. Fitzgerald blocked shots both on and off the ball, showed a great scoring touch in the lane–especially off of offensive rebounds– in traffic, and played well through contact around the basket. Loved that he found ways to impact the game on a night when the perimeter jumper wasn’t falling to knock off Gonzaga and advance to the Quarterfinals tomorrow evening.

Fitzgerald continues the tear that he’s been on this spring/summer and if averaging a double-double of 20PPG and 12RPG in S1 wasn’t enough of a body of work, his showing Saturday was further confirmation that he’s primed for a massive winter. The 6-foot-7 forward logged one of the more impressive stat lines this month for DMV Live in a win over Pallotti with 32PTS and 19REBS in just 25MIN of action. He’s relentless on the glass and spent the second half punishing the rim off rolls and straight-line drives. His energy and production were the catalyst for Flint Hill’s late surge to pull ahead and win by a 14-point margin.
