Five-star recruit Romeo Langford is no longer considering the University of Louisville.
Here are details from the Courier-Journal:
“Due to the current allegations associated with the University of Louisville men’s basketball program, a family decision was made that Romeo Langford will no longer be considering U of L in his recruitment,” Langford’s dad, Tim, said in a text message.
The Langfords’ decision came hours after the University of Louisville placed head basketball coach Rick Pitino on unpaid administrative leave in the wake of news that an FBI investigation into wire fraud and money laundering in college hoops included the university.
Pitino’s lawyer, Steve Pence, told the Courier-Journal earlier Wednesday that his client had been “effectively fired.”
Langford recently named a final list of Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, North Carolina, UCLA and Vanderbilt.
