Anthony once held multiple D1 offers and would be a steal at any level he signs at.

One o the top guards in the class, Blaackar is both quick and fast. He’s a strong guard with a nice finishing package and has put up impressive shooting splits of 58/45/84 while averaging 23 points and 6 rebounds per game. At this point, I’m not sure if D1 is realistic but D2 and NAIA schools could get a steal with Anthony now.

As a junior on a loaded Lloyd Memorial team led by current University of South Carolina standout EJ Walker, Blaackar still managed to shine in his own right. Now a senior, he’ll step into the spotlight as the go-to player for the Juggernauts. Blaackar plays with poise and intelligence, consistently taking—and often making—the best available shot. He never forces the action and excels at getting to the rim with control. If his summer performance is any indication of what’s to come, fans are in for a show as he dropped 50 points in a high school summer game.

Blaackar has had a productive start to his Junior season and is tough to stop when he gets to the basket. Blaackar drew three fouls and with his quickness, athleticism and strength, it’s tough to prevent him from getting to the rim without fouling him. Hoping to see Blaackar continue to develop a 3-point shot and make more plays on the ball. He went 1/1 on 3-pointers and had no assists on Wednesday, two areas I know he can improve in. One of the most talented guards in northern Kentucky’s 2026 class, Blaackar is a name to watch.
