Excellent! I really feel good about this.

The thing about Pitino is that the guys who he gives those spots to really do have a chance to earn clock. The kid from CAL and the kid before him that played at Frankfort High both had some opportunities. He doesn't use them just for practice dummies that the walk-ons at UK.

 

I'm glad to hear that Trent has another option.

Awesome, love the kids game. He can shoot the lights out. I would love to him at UofL.

Lots of walk-ons have gone on to become serious contributors at Louisville. If he practices hard and learns the defense, he'll earn minutes.

What are his other offers? I saw him at state and he can fill it up!

^^I'd be interested to know other offers as well.

 

I'm not necessarily a Louisville fan but I do agree with what's been said. Pitino does a tremendous job of developing guards over their careers. That could prove to be an attractive option for this young man

Before the Sweet 16, TN Tech was his only D1 offer. I've been kind of out of the loop since then.

 

Lots of D2 and NAIA offers.

Good for him. I always enjoyed watching him play and I hope he ends up happy wherever he may end up at.

Same here.

He had one from Marshall for sure

Winthrop is visiting today.

He has accepted the PWO offer.

I'm not sure why anyone would accept a walk-on offer over a scholarship offer but congrats to Trent Gilbert! He's a scoring machine.

Did he have other offers besides TN Tech , KWC, and Georgetown?
