Kevin Ware Will Play in Derby Classic

As you know, Kevin Ware picked Central Florida over Louisville and Georgia yesterday.

Louisville fans have been fired up that they lost another recruit to Orlando and Disney World.

There was a report today that he was not going to play in the Derby Classic this weekend and it was because of Louisville fans bashing him in the social media world.

Here is the report:

That doesn’t seem to be true.

Jody Demling of the Courier Journal has confirmed with Derby Officials that he will indeed play in the annual Derby Event.

Here is Demling’s recent tweet:

I could understand if Ware did not play, due to him not being interested in Louisville anymore, because the crowd could be rough on the kid.

Kudos to Ware if he indeed does play in the Yum. It will be a fun weekend and a great experience for the young man.
