High school career
[edit]In his freshman basketball season, Glaze attended St. Edmund Campion Secondary School in Brampton, Ontario.[1] For the following two years, he transferred to St. John's Catholic Prep in Buckeystown, Maryland, where he played the power forward position for the Vikings.[2] As a junior at the Mid-Atlantic Invitational at St. Maria Goretti High School in November 2008, Glaze was named tournament most valuable player (MVP) and earned all-tournament honors as his team won the championship.[2] On February 9, 2009, he led all scorers with 31 points to help defeat McDonogh School.[3] By the end of the season, he was averaging 18 points and eight rebounds per game, en route to The Gazette Player of the Year accolades.[4]
As a junior, Glaze moved to Proctor Academy in Andover, New Hampshire, closing the season with averages of about 20 points and 13 rebounds per game.[5] At the time, Rivals.com ranked him as the 83rd-best prospect in his class and among the top-20 power forwards.[5] Glaze played his final season at the high school level for the prestigious basketball program at Notre Dame Preparatory School in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.[1] On November 11, 2010, he signed a letter of intent to play for the UNLV Runnin' Rebels in college, turning down offers from Akron, South Florida, and West Virginia.[6] However, in April 2011, after the Rebels lost head coach Lon Kruger, Glaze requested release from his UNLV commitment.[7] On August 2, 2011, he signed with the Saint Louis Billikens to play under coach Rick Majerus.[8]
