Louisville basketball: An ode to VJ King, Cardinal forever

Louisville basketball’s VJ King is officially turning pro.

After much speculation over where he could potentially graduate transfer to, King announced Tuesday via posts on Twitter and Instagram that he will not be returning to college at all and will pursue a career in the NBA or elsewhere.

King came to Louisville as one of the most anticipated recruits of the Rick Pitino era. However, after having to wait behind some productive players during his first couple of years, and being forced to adjust to three head coaching changes in as many years, his production fell well below what most expected of him.
