V.J. King Cuts to Five Schools

V.J. King, a 6-foot-6 small forward from Fairfax (VA) Paul VI, has cut his list to five schools.

King is down to Arizona, UConn, Virginia, Louisville and Kentucky.

He will take an official visit to Louisville on May 19. Louisville assistant Kenny Johnson is a former assistant at Paul VI.

“We’ve gotten really close,” King told Ben Roberts of NextCats.com. “It’s definitely a great relationship.”

King also recently took an unofficial to Virginia this past weekend, Paul VI coach Glen Farello told SNY.tv.
