Ran across the following scouting on Stephon Blair from ESPN. We were mentioned in connection with him last fall but I hadnt' seen much since. Update is from an Adidas showcase in Florida, might be some other names in the article who are targets/potential targets for us.
Stephon Blair (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Dillard)
2012, PF, 6-8, 215 pounds
Team: Florida Rams
The high-energy inside post plays with intensity. Presently, Blair's most comfortable move with his back to the basket is his jump hook over his left shoulder as well as a drop step to the baseline. When he commits himself to using his frame and sealing his defender, he can receive post feeds and score at a good percentage. He finishes drop-off passes with a dunk and really hits the offensive boards. On defense, Blair blocks shots with his athletic ability but he must remember to be patient and leave his feet only after the offensive player has shot the ball. Playing with emotion is part of what makes him good, but he must learn not to be emotional.

• Dillard (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) coach Darryl Burrows has had many big-time players over the years and has another potential high major prospect under his wing in 6-9 sophomore center Stephon Blair. This young post is extra long and very mobile. He can rebound on both ends and has a great motor that allows him to run the floor on a consistent basis. Blair is raw on the offensive end -- although his left shoulder jump hook is pretty good. He patrols the lane like upperclassmen where he blocks shots and makes penetrators think twice about challenging him at the rim.
