ANTONIO BLAKENEY - Oak Ridge (Orlando, FL); 2015 SG; 6’-4”; 170; 5-Star; 247Sports rank 17; 9/15/2014 Decommitted from UL – 12/18/2014 beat Archbishop Carroll (Wayne, PA) with Derrick Jones 67 – 66; FG 6/15; 3’s 4/10; FT 6/7; Reb 5; PF 4; TP 22; A 1; TO 8; Bk 0; Stl 2; Min 30:12 - 2nd foul at 3:03 of 2nd qtr,, but didn’t sit out long; played 2nd qtr without fouling even though he was guarding 6’7” former UK recruit Derrick Jones (UNLV); if Calipari likes his players to talk to each other, Blakeney is his man; always talking to teammates, coaches, or anyone who will listen; fast and quick; can get his shot and gets his jumpers off quickly; definitely not afraid to shoot or drive; good free throw shooter, bouncing the ball once and
putting it up; very animated; can he be unselfish enough to play at UK?
12/20/2014 lost to Trinity (Louisville, KY) 57 – 62 - FG 8/28; 3’s 4/13; FT 5/6; Reb 11; PF 2; TP 25; A 2; TO 5; Bk 1; Stl 0; Min 32:00 – Was playing D on Jay Levitch, a 6’6” guard with a decent outside shot. Not much talking this game. Good job driving and dishing. Can really elevate. Took 28 shots! Needed to hit shots at the end of the game, but didn’t knock them down. Not sure that I like him for UK. Actually, I think he should have ignored all of the shoe brand clutter and stuck with his commit to UL.
12/22/2014 lost to St Francis (Alpharetta, GA) with Kobi Simmons & Malik Beasley 75 - 85 - FG 6/16; 3's 0/4; FT 11/14; Reb 5; PF 3; TP 23; A 2; TO 3; Bk 0; Stl 1; Min 29:17 - I just don't seem to like his game as so many other people do. Maybe it's his Chuck Berry mustache. Was not getting many looks while being guarded by Beasley, who also blocked one of his jumpers. Had only 5 points at the half. Did not take many J's today, mostly taking it to the hoop with his quickness and hops. Called for an intentional foul with 31.1 left in the game. Maybe that's what makes me think he is a UL type. Shot only 34% over the 3 games, so didn't show to be the shooter all rankings say he is.
