Posted Jun 12, 2015
Late Thursday night after V.J. King finished studying for an exam, the five-star prospect out of Fairfax (Va.) Paul VI laid awake for another two hours. Anxious and eager, King couldn’t fall asleep. “I was just excited,” King told Scout. “It’s kind of a relief.” Why the excitement? Well King, a 6-foot-6 wing prospect, had settled on his college decision. On Friday, King informed Scout that he has verbally committed to Rick Pitino and Louisville. (Scout.com)
