“He’s so easy to play with,” Tauer said. “He’s cerebral on the court. He knows our system more than anybody. He’s an unbelievable and willing passer. He’s certainly a capable scorer, but if anything, I’d like him to be even more assertive.”
The last Wayzata product to join the Tommies was Carter Bjerke two years ago. That was Blue’s class — and he’s still around after redshirting his first season.
“Carter and I are close,” Blue said. “We have a lot of chemistry. We’ve been tight ever since we came here.”
Recruiting could pick up again with St. Thomas building a new basketball and hockey arena on campus for next season. Blue is excited about the momentum his team can build going into that building.
“It just doesn’t come overnight,” Blue said. “You got to put in the work. Go to practice. Go to school. Do all the little extra stuff. We’re definitely looking forward to this season. Stay tuned.”
