Louisville Gets Burned Late

Related Topics: Kenny Payne, Louisville

There was a major and unexpected ACC development Monday as star freshman Trentyn Flowers decided that he would not be attending Louisville after all.

Kenny Payne issued a statement saying that while he wished Flowers well, he was “disappointed” by the timing of his decision.

No kidding.

This was a guy who was expected to start and to possibly have a major impact. He was a reason for some optimism after a devastating season and, as Payne implied, the timing means that Louisville is, well, kind of screwed. Obviously the kid is entitled to pursue his future however he pleases, but a lot of other people will be affected by this decision.
