This 2024 is without a doubt worthy of more attention on the recruiting trail. Nia had a tremendous showing this weekend as she showed off her dominance in the post. She works tirelessly on offense and is capable of carrying a huge chunk of the scoring load when called upon. She works hard in the post and has a variety of moves to score over defenders. She is an underrated ball handler who has plenty of quickness to get by bigger defenders as well. She is very active and will work to get rebounds on both ends of the floor. She is just an overall solid player who needs more looks.

Nia Blocton Nia Blocton 6'0" | PF Ridgeview | 2024 State FL was a standout and a workhorse in the middle at the Carolina Jamfest. Blocton has  the ability to track  the ball  for the rebound and does this better than a most. She is a offensive rebounding machine and creates a lot of additional shots for her team,  extending possessions, and getting cutbacks.     She has great hands and strength and plays well in press break  and in the offensive  sets.     She has very good dribbling abilities for a big and can take a big off the dribble and get to the rim.    Offensively, she has a good pull up jumper in the paint. And has the ability to over power anyone who guards her.  All of these skills were on display and Blocton was one of the most dominant players in the building.

Nia Blocton Nia Blocton 6'0" | PF Ridgeview | 2024 State FL was a standout for sure at the Candice Dupree Invitational Tournament.  Her strength down low was put on display and the game she played on Sunday elevated her even more.  Blocton was strong on the inside and just had her way against anyone who defended her,  including some future D1 forwards and centers.  She also brought versatility  to the table as her ability to handle the ball and make moves to the basket caused a problem for defenders not use to guarding a big so far from the basket.  Blocton’s rebounding ability presented a problem. She was ferocious on the glass, especially the offensive glass.  Reminder Blocton was highly and nationally ranked in rebounds as a Freshman and her ability to track the ball has only gotten better since then. She was close to unstoppable at moments of the tournament.
