Georgia Tech 4-star SG signee Blue Cain recieves release from NLI

Knoxville (Tenn.) Catholic four-star guard Blue Cain has received his release from his National Letter of Intent with Georgia Tech.

Cain is ranked as the No. 89 overall prospect in the class of 2023, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies He also checks in as the country’s No. 18 shooting and No. 1 player in Tennessee.

On3’s evaluators are even higher on Cain, ranking him No. 45 in the class and the nation’s No. 9 shooting guard.

He was Georgia Tech’s lone signee in the 2023 class.

Blue Cain Scouting Summary

“Blue Cain has a smooth feel for the game. He plays at his own pace and doesn’t get rushed to get where he is going. Cain has a solid handle as a secondary ball-handler. He shows a confident pull-up jump shot in the half-court and consistent form in catch-and-shoot situations. You would like to see him continue getting stronger and play with more urgency, but he has explosion at the rim and does take contact well in the paint. Cain’s father, Chris, played golf at Duke, thus where his name Blue came.” – Jamie Shaw, On3’s National Recruiting Analyst
