He is a top 100 recruit who signed to play at southern miss. Doesn't sound like someone who is out for the big name to me. UC is definatley a big step up from Souther Miss but not overly a media darling like UK. Maybe the guy wants to play for a program that is more down to earth.

I thought he signed with Virginia Tech?

I did see a tweet which quoted his father saying that Cincinnati was included in the schools he was considering, not NC State. Take that FWIW. I forget who actually tweeted it. I believe he is visiting Louisville May 31, the only visit set up as now.
 
@NextCats
Montrezl Harrell's father tells Scout that his son is looking at UK, U of L, Cincinnati, Alabama and Florida. No NC State.

It's a long shot but hey weirder things have happened....

I still don't see him going anywhere but Louisville, but you never know.

I could see that if Louisville had a scholarship to give him but from what I have heard is that they dont have any scholarships left... we have 2. :D

I also think Louisville has a similar player on their roster already in Chane Behanon. But I have a feeling his dad is really pushing Louisville and Pitino will find a way to get a scholarship open. Just a gut feeling.

The crazy thing is Louisville is recruiting Harrell, a guard from Oklahoma (Clark) who they offered, and VT transfer Finney-Smith. I know they always say numbers work out, but I just don't see it happening. This is who they have coming back:

1. Siva
2. Russ Smith
3. Marra
4. Hancock (transfer from George Mason)
5. Dieng
6. Blackshear
7. Behanan
8. Ware
9. Price
10. Nunez
11. Van Treese
12. Buckles
13. Rozier --> freshman guard --> some think he may have trouble qualifying

The only ways they can take Harrell is if Rozier doesn't qualify or Slick Rick forces someone out.
 
I've heard Buckles may be that guy. He's had 2 ACL injuries in the last year I believe. Could be getting a similar thing to what Belton got from UC a few years back.

Hard to believe UK is out of the mix already. Nice to see UC up there with the big dogs.

Jeff, any thoughts on who you'd rather have Obekpa or Harrell? Any chance of pulling the coup and getting both?

I like what I hear about this kid.
 
@ scoutsfocus: Louisville informed the Harrell family that the scholarship situation has been worked out and that they have one for him.

Looks like he'll probably be Louisville bound.

Think Harrell lands elsewhere though I do think there is a chance if he gets on campus. He will know playing time is available to an experienced big. Obekpa is our best shot at a big in my estimation.

This Mod's guess is he'll stay south. Hope I'm wrong.
 
Louisville's to lose. I see him committing after his visit. However Billy Donavan will be coaching him this summer, so Florida could be an option.
 
Louisville assistant Kevin Keatts was the coach at Hargrave Military Academy before signing on with Louisville. Montrezl credits him with his development.
 
Louisville has Dorian Finney-Smith coming in as well. He had a pretty nice Freshman year with Virginia Tech. He averaged 7 rebounds a game and chipped in 6 points per contest. I thought UL only had 1 open scholly but I'm not sure of that. Have to think if it's 1 they go with Harrell to add depth to their frontline.
 
In February, Harrell threw down 18 dunks in a 122-119 overtime win over Fishburne Military School (Waynesboro, Va.). He finished with 51 points, 17 rebounds and six blocks.


Haha wow

2012 top 100 player Montrezl Harrell left Louisville's campus uncommitted. Will be curious to see if he takes any more visits.
