Does anybody know anything about how Antonio is doing? Is he playing?


He is playing. Here is a recent article about his team, Holy Cross: http://news.cincinnati.com/article/AB/20130205/SPT0302/30...

His team does not submit their stats to Cincinnati.com, but there are box scores from a few of their games. Here is one against Colerain where Campbell was very impressive:

Thanks, Mike and bigtilly.  

It looks like he's had a good senior season.

I notice he does take three pointers.  If he can hit an occasional one, that makes a 6-9, 240 lb. guy harder to guard.

Update on Antonio Campbell. I thought this was pretty cool. 

 

Cool gesture by Holy Cross' Antonio Campbell. Not starting on his own senior night to give one of his fellow seniors a start.

Speaks volumes if you ask me.  This is the kind of stuff that seems small, but should not be ignored in terms of trying to get a feel for a player's mindset in the grand scheme of things.

The Cinci Enquirer named Antonio its player of the week on Feb. 18th.  From the paper...

So this dude is on the Kentucky All Star team? Nice! Congrats to him! One thing that is great is his size. 6-9 245. One thing is you cannot coach size, dude will make a size able contribution off the bench.

Here's an insider Scouting Report: 

ESPN Analyst
Updated 11/20/2012

Strengths:
Campbell has good size and great feel for the game. He is an excellent passer out of the post and especially when throwing the outlet pass where he delivers the ball on time and on target. He has good touch and footwork as well. Campbell can make open shots facing out to the arc with needed time and space and can excel in pick and pop situations as well. He scores with drop steps in the lane and is a good area rebounder as well.

Weaknesses:
Campbell will have to work to improve his mobility, strength and conditioning in order to take his game to the next level in addition to hone his ball handling and back to the basket moves. Campbell at this stage would have problems defending on the perimeter so guarding a center would be best at this point.

Bottom Line:
Campbell is a post player that has a good basketball IQ and affects the game with his ability to make open shots with good range and pass with great timing and accuracy. He has all the tools to be aan excellent inside out post in time. Very good overall upside.



He was rated as the no.2 player in the state of Kentucky. I was surprised as he didn't get more offers, as a UK commit Derek Willis (also Indiana, Purdue, and Louisville) is 6-9 225 compared to Campbell's 6-8 245.

I saw Antonio on campus with the other newcomers and the coaches. Man, he has a body like a tank. He's got the frame of an offensive tackle. Don't worry, I wouldn't call him fat by any stretch, but I don't think many MAC players are going to push right through him.

That was my impression of Antonio when I saw him at the Ohio-Kentucky All Star Game several weeks ago.

On the official roster he weighs a staggering 279. Has the MAC ever had this large of a freshman?


You know what Frank Solich likes most about coaching in the MAC? While he gets older, his coaching competition stays the same age, man.

Akron's incoming frosh Isaiah Johnson probably has 279 beat.
