Antonio Blakeney to Take Time on Scheduling Visits
By JACK LeGWINAntonio Blakeney is taking his time on figuring out what the next step will be after his decommitment from Louisville.
Blakeney’s AAU coach at E1T1 Elite, Steven Reece, says that Blakeney will announce his visits, even Big Blue Madness, at a later date, despite previous reports.
“We are going to go over all of his visits in about a week or so,” Reece told SNY.tv. “We aren’t going to go over anything until all of his in-home visits are finished.”
Blakeney recently had an in-home visit with North Carolina, and Reece says that everything went well.
“It went really well, Reece said. “We had a great talk with Coach (Roy) Williams and Coach (Hubert) Davis. Antonio doesn’t really get that emotional, he’s just taking everything in, he’s not going to rush to make a decision.”
Reece says that they are hoping to have all visits scheduled soon.
“In a couple weeks we will talk about it,” Reece said. “Talking about what visits he will want to take, and then go from there.”
It has been reported in the past that Blakeney would visit Missouri Oct. 10, and LSU Nov. 7.
Isaiah Briscoe recently spoke with SNY.tv about his relationship with Blakeney, and the possibility of having a package deal with the pair of them.
The No. 15 ranked player in the class of 2015, Blakeney averaged 25.2 points per game for Oak Ridge (Fla.) as a junior. Kentucky, Missouri and LSU are thought to be favorites.
