Antonio Blakeney To Return For Sophomore Season

by Staff Reporter

April 19, 201617 Comments

LSU announced Tuesday that talented freshman shooting guard Antonio Blakeney will not enter the 2016 NBA Draft and will return for his sophomore season. Per LSUSports.net:

quote:
“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.

“Although I finished the year strong and posted a solid season, I think it is in my best interest to return and continue to improve as I strive and prepare to be the best I can be. This will also allow me to continue with my schoolwork and continue to move forward on my college degree.”

Blakeney, a freshman from Sarasota, Fla. averaged 12.6 points and 3.4 rebounds a game last season for the Tigers.

Yeah let's jump on the guy because he weighed his options for his own life. It's really a shame that Blakeney isn't living his life for Hill Durham'so maximum benefit.
