Louisville Makes Final Two Schools for '22 SF Kamari Lands
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Louisville men's basketball program might have already inked a pair of prospects in last month's early signing period for the 2022 class, but they are continuing to make big pushes out on the recruiting trail.
Kamari Lands, a small forward who currently plays for Hillcrest Prep in Phoeniz, Ariz., trimmed his list of top schools to just two with the Cardinals still in the running, according to On3's Joe Tipton. Louisville is going up against Arizona State for his commitment.
Lands, originally from Indianapolis, Ind., had also been considering Memphis or going the professional route. He had been previously committed to Syracuse before decommitting in late August, and a decision on his new school is expected in early January, according to Tipton.
After losing out on Rodney Rice, the Cardinals quickly shifted their primary focus in the class to Lands, and progressed quickly in the recruitment. He was offered a scholarship on Oct. 22, then was hosted for an official visit on campus on Nov. 5.
The 6-foot-8, 195-pound wing ranks as high as the No. 34 prospect in the class and No. 10 small forward, according to ESPN's recruiting services. Through the first five games of his senior season at Hillcrest Prep, Lands is averaging 33.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2,6 steals and 2.0 blocks per game.
Indianapolis (Ind.) Warren Central small forward Tae Davis signed with Louisville on the first day of the early signing period last month, followed by Bahamian center Frederick King on the final day.
