On the same day it plays its first game of the 2021-22 season, the Louisville men’s basketball program has landed a big (literally) commitment.
Fredrick King, a 6’10, 220-pound center with a 9’2 standing reach from the Bahamas, has announced that he will play his college basketball in the States and at the University of Louisville.
I’m not going to pretend to have any sort of insight or prior knowledge about this commit, so I’ll let ESPN’s Jonathan Givony take it away.
King is a major success story for the NBA Academy, as he was an unknown upon joining the program in January, with zero Division I scholarship offers prior to being seen at the academy’s event in Mexico for the first time.
