U-L made a significant move on Tuesday, getting the nod from outstanding KY BF Chane Behanan. An early Cincinnati pledged who backed off early as well, Behanan emerged this spring as one of the nation’s most prolific frontcourt scorers. He was tremendous at the NBAPA Top 100 Camp in June and maintained that high level of play throughout July.

The concerns likely are more valid for the NBA, but from Louisville’s perspective, it’s likely Behanan will spend more time in college.
