Haitian connection, Braxton Blackwell
Schnider is D’Jery’s twin tower teammate from Haiti, who plays on the same Prestonwood Christian team in Plano, Texas. Schnider is 6’10”, 240 and is a 97, four star for the class of 2016. He has been crystal balled to Kansas by 247 sports, but UConn is heavily in the picture as well. I’m not sure if we can get in the hunt for Schnider, but that would be pretty impressive to have both Haitian natives playing in the post along with 2015 signee Samir Sehic, our 6’9”, 250 bruising, talented high three-star power forward. And Damian and Luke would be seniors. That would be pretty stellar. I know we’re heavily recruiting five-star power forward Braxton Blackwell (6’’8″, 220, Nashville, C.P.A. School). We’re battling it out with Indiana, Louisville, Ohio State and Tennessee for Braxton’s services. He may be our only guy in 2016. We aren’t on Schnider’s list. His grades are pretty good (3.0 GPA). Will see if anything develops. Excellent story about these two young men who want to improve their families’ lives in Haiti.
