Louisville landed a commitment on Thursday from Malik Williams, a 6-foot-11 four-star forward.
Williams is a top 40 prospect in the class of 2017. He picked the Cardinals over N.C. State, Georgetown, UCLA, Michigan State, Purdue, Iowa and Indiana.
Louisville head coach Rick Pitino made Williams a priority during the July Live Period, and Williams was impressive enough during the month that our Scott Phillips called him the “biggest stock riser” in the class.
I would like to thank all schools that recruited me but I will be committing to the University of Louisville #L1C4 🏀 pic.twitter.com/CDZxEZydc2
