LR Christian's Layden Blocker gaining interest minus AAU ball

Little Rock Christian sophomore point guard Layden Blocker has five scholarship offers, but the covid-19 pandemic has hindered him in accumulating others.

He was set to play for the 15-under Joe Johnson Arkansas Hawks on the Adidas 3SSB circuit this spring and summer.

“I’m very disappointed, I really wanted to play AAU,” Blocker said. “It feels good to get early offers. It just lets me know that I’m working hard.”

Blocker, 6-1, 155 pounds, has scholarship offers from TCU, Southern Miss, Tulane, Oral Roberts and Central Arkansas. Arkansas has expressed interest along with Auburn and Texas A&M.
