Darius Perry Commits to Louisville

6’2 170lbs 4-Star 2017 PG Darius Perry of Powder Springs, Ga. (Wheeler High School) told me that he is committing to Rick Pitino and the Louisville Cardinals. Darius said that his visit to Louisville was “Good” and that he “really enjoyed it”. He also was able to “watch Pitino run a practice and interact with the players”, which was his favorite part. Perry is a very tough, athletic, physical guard who loves to drive it hard at the rim. Though he can be a streaky shooter, this doesn’t stop him from taking his shot. Perry is ranked as the 48th prospect in the class of 2017 by ESPN, and ranked 65 by 24/7 Sports’ Composite Ranking. Perry says that the coaches believe that he is a “perfect fit with his defensive ability and the way he scores it offensively, as well as the way he gets others involved”. Louisville offered Perry later than others, but they made him a top priority. Darius narrowed it down to Louisville based on the fact that “Pitino is the coach and the way that he does things”, and that “other schools did not necessarily have all of the individuals who do the little things like he (Rick Pitino) does". Perry fits the mold of former Louisville guards such as Peyton Siva, Terry Rozier and Russ Smith, who were known for their tenacity, fearlessness, physicality and playing with a chip on their shoulders. Look for him to join #42/#32 ranked big man Malik Williams as the two will provide good minutes for Rick Pitino.
