Skip Johnson is cleaning up on the recruiting trail right now. 

He and Nicholson are working the recruiting trail..

Blair Henley is a 2016 RHP/OF with a 6-2 175 lb. frame from Fort Worth, TX who attends Arlington Heights HS. Tall and angular broad shouldered build, lots of room to fill out and get stronger. Standard leg raise delivery with some back lean, high 3/4's arm slot, arm is clean and fast, lands a bit cross body but gets hips clear, repeats his release point well, low effort release. Very steady 87-89 mph fastball, occasional darting life, works fastball to spots. Nasty hard slider is a potential plus pitch, has power and a sharp, deep biting action. Only threw one curveball but it was very good, also with depth and power. Has some deception and the ball seemed to get on hitters quickly, induced some uncomfortable swings and at bats. High ceiling prospect with lots of present stuff and skill. Good student.

From what I've read the kid apparently has a good breaking ball and throws in the low 90s. Have you seen him pitch?
