LOUISVILLE LOOKS TO CLOSE 2008 CLASS

Kyle Kuric has been orally committed to Louisville and coach Rick Pitino since last October, rumors about the future of 6’4 shooting guard Kyle Kuric remained. Without signing a letter of intent, neither party was bound to the verbal commitment. Would Louisville still have a scholarship available? Would Kuric look to one of the other schools that recruited him, like Michigan, St. Louis, Southern Illinois or Evansville?

Well, the speculation and rumors can officially cease come Monday as the 6’4 shooting guard from Evansville (IN) Memorial High School ends the process as Kuric Will Sign with Louisville (Courier Press) and be part of the UL family. Kuric averaged 20.8 points and 6.7 rebounds, was named the All-Metro player of the year, leading his team to a sectional championship.

Projected 2008-2009 Roster


Seniors: Andre McGee (PG), Terrence Williams (SF)
Juniors: Edgar Sosa (G), Jerry Smith (G), Earl Clark (G/F), Reginald Delk (G)
Sophomores: Preston Knowles (G)
Freshmen: George Goode (F), Samardo Samuels (BF/C), Terrence Jennings (C), Kyle Kuric (G/F), Jared Swopshire (SF)

There still is a little uncertainty as Melquan Bolding remians a verbal commitment for 2008. Also, Clarence Holloway sat out the 2007-2007 season because of a medical condition, and we never received word if the NCAA Clearninghouse cleared him to be eligible for a scholarship. At this point in time, there is still questions on if he will play because of the medical condition that required heart surgery last fall. We have at least 12 players on scholarship, Holloway would be the 13th, but if he is a medical hardship, that would open another for Bolding. The possibility also exists neither is at UL next season.
