Congrats to the young fella.

Why aren't they doing the signing in the gym instead of the library and is Pitino coming. I think it would be great for the school to have an assembely and have him sign in the middle of the basketball court. That 's the biggest signing GRC has had in decades.

 

I don't believe that Division I coaches are allowed to be present for the signing. They cannot make any comments until after the player signs.

This is what the coach told me yesterday also. I didn't know this either.

What are the plans for Knowles at Louisville? Playing the point or the 2 guard spot? What is the depth chart at the ville?

I really don't follow Louisville and Notetaker won't let me have a spot on the wagon even if I had a interest in the Cardinals:D

This is correct and until LOI is signed, they can't be present, as it violates NCAA rules.

 

I hope this young man, does well at UL and congratulations.

You're right, Pressrow, there is no room on the bandwagon for ex-UK fans. I don't know how anyone who has seen Knowles play can say that he is not a shooter. He has parking lot range and does everything else well. Just ask Russ Middleton how well he can play defense. When he gets a little stronger, he will be a big contributor to the Cardinals. He will fit in nicely backing up Jerry Smith.

Is Edgar Sosa not their PG? He looked to be against A&M at Rupp when I watched it. He was only a freshman, so Preston will be a backup for 3 years before ever getting an opportunity.

Jerry Smith is the shooting guard. Preston has more than enough skills to play that position. That will get him playing time sooner.

I heard that part of the reason they signed Preston was that he totally whipped Sosa the day he played with UL's players.

No one denies that Knowles has a lot of talent. Other factors will determine whether he's ever a contributor at Louisville.

Knowles has the physical tools to succeed at the next level.

 

And while we've all heard about the "head-case" kind of stuff - and some of us have probably heard more than others - let's give the kid a chance to succeed instead of automatically assuming the worst. Hopefully he will be another example of a 10th Region collegiate success story.

Great ball player, makes everyone else on the team better. I watched him play every game this past year but one. Let's give him a chance and not have all of this negative criticism. He can shoot and pass with the best and is one heck of a leaper. He also plays tough defense. I hope the best for him.:thumb:

I don't think Preston is tall enough to be a true 2G in the Big East. He mentioned he may "redshirt" his frosh year.
