Kuric will sign with Louisville

Kyle Kuric, a 6-4 guard from Evansville (IN) Memorial, will sign a national letter of intent with Louisville next Monday.

Kuric, who averaged 20.8 points and 6.7 rebounds as a senior, becomes the fourth member of Louisville's 2008 recruiting class, joining 6-9 McDonald's All-American Samardo Samuels, 6-10 center Terrence Jennings and 6-7 forward Jared Swopshire.

"It's a full basketball scholarship," Kuric told the Evansville Courier-Press Thursday. "It came down to coach (Rick) Pitino. He's a great coach ... who really sets players up after college."

The Evansville Metro Player of the Year, Kuric will play for the Indiana All-Stars this summer. After that, Kuric plans to enroll at UofL during the summer semester.

"It feels good," Kuric told the newspaper. "It's good to get rid of the pressure."
