Lawrence North High school in Indianaplis is simply known by those in the region as LN. Pretty soon, it might be known as Louisville North with the amount of success Rick Pitino and his staff has had mining the Indiana power. Pitino Likes LN Star (Indy Star) senior Stephan Van Treese, a 6-foot-9 F/C who will be the first arriving among the newfound pipeline from Indianapolis to Louisville.

Lawrence North junior Justin Martin and sophomores Ryan Taylor and Michael Chandler have committed to the Cardinals, leaving highly touted junior Dominique Ferguson Hearing All About Cats-Cards (Courier-Journal). Ferguson is a verbal commitment for Kentucky. How strong is the LN program? Yet another player, forward Jeff Robinson, is committed to Purdue.
