“No one is going hard on me yet, but Asbury always keeps in touch with me, and I’ve heard some from Cedarville,” said Antrobus.” Asbury talked to me early in my junior season and they said they liked me, but I was a little too young for them to really recruit me.”
The sharpshooting 2017 is anxious for his recruitment to ramp-up this spring and summer, he feels he’s been a little bit overlooked up to now.
“I definitely want to go to the next level and play college basketball, so hopefully I can get some coaches looking at me,” said Antrobus.
“I definitely think I’m under the radar, just being a 6-foot-2 guy that can shoot, it seems there’s a lot of us out there, but I think I’m more special than the rest.”
After nailing a tremendous amount of triples the last two seasons with the Wildcats, Antrobus has already established himself as one of Kentucky’s elite shooters.
“I’m best at shooting 3s, my sophomore season I hit 92 3s, and this past season I hit 99. And getting to the free throw line is a strength too, and I shoot 85 percent from the line,” said Antrobus, Kentucky’s 69th-ranked 2017.
“My pull-up jumper, like a one or two dribble pull-up is something I’d like to get down, I’ll be working on that this summer.”
He’ll spend his offseason sharpening his skills with Charlotte Court — it’s his first season playing with the North Carolina grassroots program.
“They needed a deadeye shooter and they thought I would work out for them,” said Antrobus. “My expectations for myself are to always hit wide-open shots, and get shots when the team needs them, and hopefully win a few tournaments with the team.”
