Yesterday our friends at OnTheRadarHoops broke the story that  6'6 Shooting Guard Tony Kimbro, Jr. of Jefferstown HS (Louisville, KY) was on campus for an official visit.  Within the last hour, the Louisville Courier Journal has confirmed what my sources told me late last night: He is a Panther!

Kimbro is a big time scorer and shoots very well from 3 point range (some stats I've seen as high as 46% during his Junior year).  He was an academic question mark but a two year stint with The Christ School in Arden, NC hammered that out.  Rivals.com rates him as a 3 star recruit and ESPN Scout, Inc. rates him as the #51 SG in the country and a 90 overall rank. 

To give you an idea, PG Devonta White is the highest rated player on our roster and he was rated an 86 coming out of HS.
