While he mulls whether to reclass to 2015 and head to Louisville, Derryck Thornton will visit Kentucky, Arizona and Duke in 2015, according to a report from Jerry Meyer.
Thornton, a 6-foot-2 2016 point guard out of Findlay Prep, will trip to Kentucky Jan. 12 for the Missouri game, to Duke Feb. 18 for the North Carolina game and to Arizona Feb. 21 for the UCLA game, Meyer reported.
Pitino met with Thornton this week and broached the possibility of the point guard joining the program next season, although it remains unclear if he has enough credits to do so.
Louisville has already missed out on guards Antonio Blakeney and P.J. Dozier and will need a floor general to replace the departing Chris Jones.
