Anton Brookshire announces his commitment
Around noon on Tuesday (5/9), formal local star and Yanders Law AAU alumni, Anton Brookshire announced on Twitter and Instagram that he has committed to playing his third year of D1 hoops for Austin Peay.
Brookshire will be joining his former high school and Yanders Law teammate, Isaac Haney playing for Head Coach Corey Gipson.
Gipson was an assistant for Missouri State University while Brookshire and Haney were coming up in the Springfield area. Haney played for Gipson his freshmen season at MSU as well as last season when Gipson was at the helm for an impressive Northwestern State team.
Brookshire played for Cuonzo Martin at Mizzou his freshman season before transferring to Iona last year to play for legendary Head Coach Rick Pitino. The Iona Gaels gave Anton a taste of the NCAA tournament and he is hungry to return.
Brookshire has established himself as a legitimate deep threat and has improved his playmaking profoundly over the last two seasons.
The Basketball Movement, #LawNation, and Kickapoo High basketball are all going to get a chance to see a pair of their best reunited again in Brookshire and Haney. The duo will be part of a dynamic backcourt for the Governors this upcoming season and we cannot wait to see what they can do for their new squad.
Congratulations, Anton on your decision! The Basketball Movement family is proud of the work you have put in and excited to see the latest results on the court. Let it fly!
