Galloway Commits To UK

The Louisville Courier Journal is reporting this morning that 6'6" guard/forward Kevin Galloway has verbally committed to Kentucky. You can read Jody Demling's story here.

Galloway is a 2006 graduate of Sacramento High School in California. He averaged 17.4 points and 8 rebounds per game as a senior in high school. Kevin was a 4 Star recruit coming out of high school and originally committed to the University of Southern California. He played in 13 games for the Trojans his freshman year and then went to the College of Southern Idaho (JUCO). At Southern Idaho this season he averaged 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 2.5 steals per game.

Kevin is considered to be a very athletic "slasher" with "high major potential."

While I would have liked to see Gillespie bring in another big man, I think Galloway looks like a perfect fit for Gillespie's system. And at 2.5 steals per game in JUCO it looks like Kevin may be a pretty good defender as well.
