Blake Dwyer '16 Recruiting Profile

I was recruited by Billy Gillespie to play for him at Ranger College after graduating HS.  However, an injury prevented me from even starting my college career.  I thought my dream of playing college ball was over.  I became a part time student uncertain as to my future.  By the grace of God I was given a second chance and hope.  I was lead to a professional sports doctor in Dallas who was able to repair my injury to 100%.   Since my surgery 9 months ago I have been blessed to be able to play and do hard work outs pain free again.  Based I want I know, I should qualify for a Medical Red Shirt and  7 semesters of playing eligibility left. 

God has me given me a second chance to purse my dream to play collegiate ball.  I am seeking a coach and a school willing to give me the same chance to prove myself as a walk-on.  My goal is to help the team win and show my worthiness to be a scholarship player.  To any team I will bring leadership, maturity of life, high integrity, a high basketball IQ and a passion for the game.  I have overcome my hard times and adversities through my faith in God, the many prayers said for me, and his divine hand.  I need to use the gift he has given me to make a difference.  I want to show, (prove to) others that a promising player whose dreams were one step away from being fulfilled, then crushed, got a second chance.  That you can overcome obstacles through faith, determination and hard work.  I am ready and willing to do a workout with your team and to show you what I can do. I just need the chance to prove it.  I am prepared to enroll in school as soon as possible and purse a business or finance degree. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.
