RICK PITINO VISITES LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL

September 10, 2008



Louisville head coach Rick Pitino showed how much of a priority 2010 forward prospect Tobias Harris is by making the trip to Long Island earlier today to see him workout.

"Coach Rick Pitino showed that his recruiting efforts were not all talk by visiting Lutheran High School to watch Tobias for a two hour workout after school today," Torrel Harris, Sr. told the NBE Basketball Report.

Tobias recently visited Louisville for their season opening football contest against rival Kentucky and Harris Enjoyed Louisville Visit and subsequently named the Cards as one of his (10) leading choices.

"Tobias told me he was very happy to see coach Pitino's interest in him and felt that it really meant something that he choose to be there rather than sending an assistant coach," Mr. Harris said.

Big East schools such as Syracuse, Rutgers, Marquette, West Virginia and Georgetown joined UL among Harris' list of top 10 schools. In recent days, it looks like Connecticut has made it a top 11 list of schools as they have renewed some of their interest as well.
