Josh Nickelberry became the first high school recruit to commit to Louisville in the Chris Mack era when he made his intentions known Thursday evening.
A four-star guard out of Fayetteville, N.C., Nickelberry also has offers from North Carolina, NC State, Michigan, Xavier and UConn, among many others. He is currently ranked by 247 Sports as the No. 55 overall player in the class of 2019.
Mack seemed pleased by the news.
Known as a lethal outside shooter, the 6’4 Nickelberry averaged 24 points, seven rebounds and six assists as a junior at Northwood Temple Academy this past season.
