Statement from Louisville men’s basketball coach Kenny Payne regarding Trentyn Flowers:

Head Coach Kenny Payne

“Earlier today, Trentyn and his family informed me of his decision to pursue a professional career overseas. We’re certainly disappointed in his decision and the timing. We fully believe in the University of Louisville’s ability to help student-athletes reach their goals, including to play at the highest levels of professional basketball – and we’re confident that Trentyn could have achieved his dreams by making Louisville his home. However, we wish Trentyn and his family well in all of their future endeavors.”

The hits just keep on comin’.

Only insight I have from someone who has observed practice, the kid and family: “His father Travis is a Little League dad, who thinks he knows more than any of the coaches.

“It might also have had something to do with playing time. Nobody expected Koron (Davis) to be as good as he is.”
