Antonio Blakeney To Visit LSU This Weekend

[JokersWild24]

Per KSR, Blakeney will visit LSU this weekend.

 

While that's not really news, as a UK fan, I think this is more serious competition than we might see at first glance.

 

#1: He's going to LSU for the weekend that they host the Alabama game. That's probably going to be a scene in and of itself. LSU looks like a very fun campus and I'd imagine it will be rocking this weekend.

 

#2. He's visiting with his close friend and AAU teammate Ben Simmons. Simmons is the Godson of an LSU assistant coach.

 

Does anyone else think this is much ado about nothing, or are you more inclined to say that LSU might actually have a better chance at reeling him in than most would give at a passing glance?

Sure he could go there, but aren't he and Isaiah Briscoe really good friends too?

 

I still think he ends up at Kentucky.

Yes and he is also really good friends with Malik Newman.

Cal never really made a push, so LSU was the expected choice for a while. Pretty clear that Newman is the primary scoring wing target for UK...

What's your opinion of UK's chances of signing Newman? Seems like Cal has put a lot of effort into getting him in a Kentucky uni next year.

When Cal goes full speed on a kid he almost always ends up at UK...

It looks like LSU may get another nice addition in Arizona power forward, Craig Victor. Victor has decided to transfer and is considering LSU and Tulane. That would be a big addition to what already looks to be a solid LSU team next year.

As expected, Craig Victor has announced that he is transferring to LSU. He was the #37 ranked player in last year's class.

Won't he have to sit out next season?

Eligible at the end of the fall semester next year unless he gets a waiver...

Hardships are given out like bottled water during a natural disaster these days. If by chance he isnt granted a hardship, I believe he would still be eligible this time next year.

Well that would certainly help. What are you're thoughts on Victor GT? Just over shadowed by a couple of strong recruiting classes for Arizona?

For the most part, yeah. He's an undersized four that does his damage 10 feet and in. Not a big time scorer, but will get some garbage points and do work on the glass. Should be a good glue guy for the big names coming in...
