Louisville basketball kept its early Class of 2018 recruiting mojo going on Friday with the verbal commitment of St. Louis point guard Courtney Ramey.
Ramey, a 6-foot-3 high school junior, joined Florida guard Anfernee Simons in Louisville’s class. He announced his decision after school Friday at Webster Groves High, where Ramey has helped his team to a 14-2 record this season.
Ramey named his final 13 schools two weeks ago. That list included Arkansas, Creighton, Florida, Illinois, Iowa State, Kansas State, Marquette, Missouri, Northwestern, Ohio State, Southern Cal and Texas in addition to U of L.
He visited Louisville twice after receiving a scholarship offer from the Cards, taking in the 73-70 win over Kentucky and the first of two intrasquad scrimmages at the KFC Yum! Center.
