6’5” athletic stretch 4. He can knock down open 3’s attack the rim and has a great skill set with his back to the rim. On defense we switched ball screens and DHO’s with him. He will be instant help at a scholarship program.

DeKyre will be a great addition to a scholarship program that wants to win. He took the most charges on our team this year and shot 50% from 3pt. At 6’6 he would make a great stretch 4 at the next level. High character player that only cares about winning. DM me for more info…
I’m so happy for Greg and the rest of our guys. Greg was also the MVP of our conference. He is unsigned, will have 3 years of eligibility, and is a winner. 4 year coaches, come sign him and our other available guys!

We were lucky to have you! You could have left last year but believed in the process and now you are a National Champion! One of the best players to ever put on a Blazer uniform. Your dedication and effort will take you far in basketball and in life. Keep pushing!
