Antonio scored 13.5 points a game as a sophomore playing both guard spots at times and even more important, he was the defensive MVP as an underclassmen.
“Antonio is an extremely talented two way player that is elusive in the open court and can make a defense pay from all three scoring areas on the floor,” Buffalo Coach Josh Ortmann siad.
“He guards the opposing teams best player night in and night out and doesn’t back down from anyone. Antonio is as competitive as they come and will do whatever it takes to help his team win.
“Antonio is a natural leader with an infectious personality that makes everyone else around him better and has a work ethic that exceeds what every coach tries to instill within their players.”
In talking to us for the Breakdown book Antonio said something very similar to his coach.
“My strengths are that I have a high basketball IQ, strong on the ball defender, can finish with both hands, and (I have the) ability to see the play before it happens.”
When college coaches could start talking to 2022 schools, the first schools in contact were Minnesota-Duluth and North Dakota State.
“Coach Kyan Brown (of NDSU) was checking up on me,” the 6-foot-2 Antonio said to 247 Sports. “He told me that he was hoping to see me this AAU season. He told me to keep working hard and to reach out to him if I had any questions. I know (NDSU) is in the tournament consistently. I know a couple of guys that are up at NDSU for other sports and they love it up there. I’m very excited to learn more about the program.”
Antonio and his Minnesota Comets teammates are playing their first tournament this weekend. This team is stacked with guards as Cohen Kellogg Cohen Kellogg 6'0" | PG Orono | 2022 State MN of Minnetonka, Kris Hoskins of Alex, and Johnny Tennyson Johnny Tennyson 6'3" | SG STMA | 2022 State MN of STMA are also on the squad.
