Kevin Ware, a former signee with Tennessee and commitment to Central Florida, picked U of L over Georgia and committed after making a visit this weekend.

“He always had an interest in Louisville but I think he just needed to take his visit so he could actually make a decision for himself,” Mack told The Courier-Journal on Monday night. “He got to Louisville, met the coaches and the players and had a real comfort level with them and he already knew Rick Pitino was a great coach. He just felt like Louisville was the best fit for him.”

The 6-foot-4 Ware, who played in the Kentucky Derby Festival Classic last month, is ranked as the No 70 prospect in the Class of 2011 by Rivals.com and checks in at No. 99 in the Scout.com rankings.
