Still remember going to see him at Curie before he transferred to Morgan Park and him looking like an NBA-bound beast. Blackshear, Abrams, Shaw, Randle, Henry, Thompson, Marshall, Henley...soo much hype for years for the Chicagoland Class of 2011 and soo much bust.
Davis doesn't count since he came out of nowhere. Boatwright has done just fine. And Kaminsky has developed nicely (awesome game at uic pavilion when benet beat Parker and simeon). But yeah, gotta love Chicago high school hoops.
Blackshear at Curie to me looked disinterested and was alway pouting when I saw him. Don't blame him since his coach was a clown.
He was good at MP but him and Irvin there always ran their mouths and couldn't back it up. They may have won a city tournament, can't remember, but don't think they got out of a regional in the state tournament. He always seemed like a huge question mark to me despite being an explosive high school player just because of attitude.
