BATON ROUGE – LSU guard Antonio Blakeney, a member of the 2016 Southeastern Conference All-Freshman team, has announced on Tuesday that he will not submit his name for information on the upcoming NBA Draft and will return to play his sophomore season for the Tigers.
The deadline for official paperwork to be submitted is April 24 and under new draft guidelines this year, Blakeney could have submitted his name, not declared with an agent and withdrawn his name 10 days after the mid-May NBA combine. But Blakeney will continue with his school work at LSU and the remainder of the spring strength and conditioning drills with the LSU basketball staff.
“After consulting with my coaches and with my family, I have decided to return to LSU for my sophomore season,” Blakeney said. “I believe I can further improve my skill set in different areas to become even more effective for my team in the future.

Yes! Basketball will be semi-watchable at least.

Good decision.
He helped himself and will be a higher prospect next year.

We going to the ship!
PG: Mays (UPGRADE!)
SG: Blakeney (Better in year 2)
SG: Patterson (Better in year 3)
F: Victor (Better in year 2)
F: Reath (unknown)
We should be running our arse off in 2016-2017.

This is the first bit of good hoops news since the SECT. Maybe even before that.
Now we need some big men. to go with what we have and maybe another PG..
Antonio was a bright spot in a pretty rough end of the year. the young man hustled, played hard, and didn't seem to quit unlike some of his teammates.
I wish him success and hopefully with LSU's help he reaches his goal of a good NBA career.

Good for him.

I dont expect us to be a Final Four team next year but sometimes you can have addition by subtraction. We may be better next year just by having some real leadership in Blakeney.
