When Louisville assistant Kenny Johnson joined Rick Pitino’s staff last year, he was tabbed as a home-run hire due to his outstanding recruiting reputation.
So far so good as Pitino will welcome in a top ten recruiting class in 2015 with two five star prospects. Johnson along with the rest of the staff played a big role in Louisville’s 2016 class, but I don’t think there has been one commit since he’s been hired that was based solely on him.
That could soon change.
Louisville is in on a handful of highly ranked recruits from the 2016 class, but five star swing-man VJ King appears to be one of the top targets at this point.
