Rick Pitino and the Louisville Basketball program picked up their first commitment from the 2016 class on Friday afternoon.
V.J. King, a 6-foot-6 small forward out of Fairfax, VA., verbally pledged to Louisville shortly after 1 PM on Friday. Evan Daniels of Scout.com was the first to report the news.
I’m sure most of you don’t need me to inform you that this is a very big deal.
King has been a top target for the Louisville staff for the past couple of months. He’s widely considered to be one of the top fifteen players in the country and one of the very best small forwards.
