Even though it almost feels like he has been apart of the Cardinal family for a while now, 5* SG Jaquan Lyle officially announced he will be a Louisville Cardinal. Lyle is one of the Elite guards in the nation rated as high as the #2 SG and held offers from pretty much anyone you can think of but ultimately choose the Cards over IU, Florida and Tennessee. Lyle sent this text to Coach Pitino today to let him know the good news:
Lyle makes the third member of Louisville’s 2014 recruiting class to go along with Quentin Snider and Shaq Aaron and many would say there’s not a better trio out there as of yet. At 6’5 Lyle is capable of playing PG, SG, or even SF and that is exactly the type of guard that flourishes under Pitino. In the recent years Lyle has grown very close with fellow commit Quentin Snider and the two will most certainly turn their attention to adding 5* PF Trey Lyles (IN) to what is already one of the best classes yet under Pitino.
