There is always something to talk about in the world of UofL sports, even basketball in the month of June. Newcomers on campus, upcoming trips, and injuries unfortunately. This is just a quick rundown to get you caught up on some things lately.
*Chinanu Onuaku has been selected to participate in the U19 USA Basketball Camp that runs June 12-26. There are 24 players invited and the team will be cut down to 12.
*Hopefully this isn’t a sign of things to come in his one year as a Louisville Cardinal, but Trey Lewis already finds himself injured with an abductor strain.
Graduate transfer Trey Lewis has a muscle strain and will miss two weeks of workouts, U of L coach Rick Pitino said Monday. The 6-foot-2 guard arrived on campus this weekend with the hopes of getting an early start with his new teammates.
*Maverick Rowan announced his top 6 schools. Obviously, the Cards made the list. There is still no word yet on if Rowan will reclassify to the 2015 class. Louisville still has one open scholarship for 2015.
Top 6:
UCLA
St. John's
UNC
NC State
Louisville
Wisconsin
