Aric Holmon (ESPN top 100) on campus today?

[Thick]

2016, but could be reclassifying to 2015. What's the MO on this guy?

[smootness]

I don't know, but hope we get him. Jerry Meyer has CB'd him to us....which essentially means nothing, but I guess there's a chance.

Kid has enormous potential. I don't see him being an instant impact guy next year but he can help some. He has to grow into his body 6'10" 200lbs face up 4 man who'll eventually stretch his range out to 3pt range consistently. He's a 2015 guy who had decided to go to Prep school & reclassify to 2016. He would be an amazing pull this late in the game. Getting a top 75-100 kid days before signing day end just doesn't normally happen. His biggest impact would be felt in the 2016-17 season & beyond. Where he'd be our lead big man. A lot of the recruiting guys feel he has NBA potential & just needs to continue getting stronger & refining his game.

This may be a dumb question, but isn't it awfully late to not know whether he's graduating high school next week or a year from now?

They have one year prep schools you can go to after High school, so he could go to college now as a 18 year old freshman or go to prep school and enter college as a 19 year old freshman.

[Big4Dawg]

He was going to go to prep school because Louisville didn't have enough scholarships.

Is there another recruit visiting with Holmon?

Swanigan was rumored but that rumor wasn't true.

So is Holmon the only basketball recruit on campus or is there a second recruit?

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Holman is the only 1.

Holman is the only 1.

What are our chances?

I can't say it's a slam dunk but to get him in on an OV days before the signing period ends has to be looked at as extremely positive.

When does the signing period end?

When does the signing period end?

May 20

I hope the paperwork is signed tomorrow. I can imagine the full court press, coming from a lot of schools at the last minute. Heck, the cell phone is probably burning, as I type this.

I don't understand why someone would go to prep school because Louisville "doesn't have enough schollies"...if you're a top 100 player, there's room for you somewhere in the P5. were there grade issues with this guy and now he's buckled down on his school work and looks to qualify?

No grade issues & the family are huge Louisville fans.

Also a 2016 4* SG from Kentucky, Eli Wright, is also on campus. Kid is an electric athlete & streaky shooter. He's AAU teammates with Aric Holman.

I think it's more of a coincidence because KY isn't known for producing a lot of high level talent.

Previous staff offered Wright last year. They were on him for a while.
