The New York Post has an article where an anonymous father of an ex-Louisville player talks about his son’s recruitment and how he ended up at Louisville.
He also states that a rival of Louisville offered his son money to play for them but the Anonymous Dad didn’t want the details.
Take a look at an excerpt below:
When my son was in high school, I was approached at an AAU tournament by someone from a rival of Louisville’s. He said, “If you want to go to our school, we can get you $100,000.”
But I never considered it, so I didn’t ask for details.
Going into the recruiting process, I knew one thing: I was proud of my son, and I wanted to protect him. I didn’t want to do anything that would jeopardize his future.
When talking to coaches, I made it clear that we weren’t looking for financial compensation.
When he chose Louisville he did so for a few reasons. The biggest? That would be Rick Pitino.
When he committed, my son was choosing between Louisville and another school that had National Championship titles and was no stranger to the Final Four.
We called both coaches and told them it was down to their schools.
