How Antonio Blakeney ended up at LSU

Antonio Blakeney's commitment to LSU on Friday gave the Tigers the No. 6 recruiting class in the country and brought an end to a headline-filled four months for the five-star shooting guard.

When Blakeney committed to Louisville in early September, it seemed like the end to a normal recruitment. The Cardinals had been at the forefront of his recruitment for a few months, with Kentucky and LSU making strong pushes in the summer but falling short.
