Rodney Purvis commits to Louisville

Another Purvis! Talk about Christmas coming early, last evening 5-star guard Rodney Purvis verbally commited to the Cards. He's the second ranked guard in the 2012 class and hales from Raleigh, North Carolina.

ESPN describes his strengths thusly...

Rodney is a slasher supreme. He is impossible to keep out of the lane at times. He is very strong and a very good athlete. His quickness, strength, size and solid handle allow him to get where ever he wants on the court, whenever he wants. Purvis is very good in transition and is a big finisher. His jumper is respectable to 15 feet and Rodney is a solid rebounder with his strong body, excellent leaping ability and aggressiveness. He is an excellent passer and often finds his open teammates on his drives into the lane. He is wired to score and simply gets buckets when on the floor.

He was offered scholarships by every school under the sun, and holy crap, can this kid take it to the hole...
