December 5, 200718 yr Several posters have asked me how Preston is doing...here is a nice article about him. Knowles fitting in at Louisville By Keith Taylor/Sun Sports Editor Rick Pitino considers himself a “lucky” coach. During a recruiting chase last spring, the Louisville coach made a late pitch to former George Rogers Clark High School standout Preston Knowles, who ended up signing a scholarship offer with the Cardinals, and it has been a perfect match for both parties. “We really got lucky with him,” Pitino said. During a press conference last week, Pitino talked about Knowles and his progression. The veteran coach noted his work ethic, his passion and his desire. “He brings it every day,” he said. “He’s a tough kid. It’s fun to coach Preston, it’s a blast. I just wish I had 12 of him (on the team). He’s just fun to coach.” Link..http://www.winchestersun.com/public_html/?module=displaystory&story_id=9805&format=html

I'll side with Coach Pitino. This kid is another Lofton.

December 5, 200718 yr Regardless if is he is another Lofton or not, I'm sure he'll want to carve out his own piece of the cardinal program in his own name. Thanks for the update, I was wondering how he was doing.

December 5, 200718 yr Author I'm sure he'll want to carve out his own piece of the cardinal program in his own name. Thanks for the update, I was wondering how he was doing. He practiced for the first time in 3 weeks this past week. He had a stress fracture in his foot, and had been wearing a boot. Once he gets full strengh look for his PT to improve. We here at GRC are very proud of him.:thumb:
