Louisville basketball commit Josh Nickelberry learned hard work from parents

Posted Aug 11, 2018
Gerald Nickelberry's son, Josh, was 7 or 8 when he started knocking on his parents’ bedroom door early in the morning, asking if his dad could work out with him. Ten years later, Josh Nickelberry is a 6-foot-5 guard with that same work ethic that helped him close in on his dream of playing Division I college basketball. The North Carolina native committed to Louisville in May. (Louisville Courier-Journal)
