Former Virginia Tech signee Montrezl Harrell has a leader in the fight to land his services, and that leader is Louisville.

The four-star prospect's father told Mike Hughes of InsideTheVille.com Friday night that Rick Pitino and company are Harrell's front-runner, and that his son will visit U of L before any other school.

The Hargrave Military Academy star is also considering Kentucky, NC State, Florida and Alabama.

I suppose this clears up any debate over whether or not there is mutual interest between the parties. The scholarship issue, however, remains a mystery.
