    Louisville has landed a commitment right in the middle of the July recruiting period.

    Deng Adel, an athletic, high-energy 6-foot-7 small forward originally from Australia, committed to the Cardinals on Monday.

    The four-star forward is now at Bradenton (FL) Victory Rock Prep and impressed Louisville coach Rick Pitino and his staff during the recent Adidas Unrivaled Camp in Chicago.

    Adel had offers a slew of schools, along with interest from Kentucky and UConn, according Victory Rock Prep coach Loren Jackson.

    “He’s going to be a kid that really strives in their system,” Jackson told SNY.tv. “We play very similar at the prep levelto the way they play so it will be somewhat of a smooth transition. He can plays some man, play some zone.

    “His ceiling is off the charts.”

    Adel averaged 20 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists last season on a team that went 23-10.

    He is Louisville’s first 2015 pledge.
