Nwora becomes the third player from the class of 2017 to commit to Louisville, joining power forward Malik Williams and point guard Darius Perry.
"I'm going to go to Louisville," Nwora told Scout.com. "On my visit I talked to coach [Rick] Pitino and coach [Kenny] Johnson, they were with me my whole visit. They just told me coming in as a freshman I can make a big impact and play a lot of minutes and score a lot of points, which is what I do.

A 6'8 forward with a smooth outside shot, Nwora averaged 14.6 ppg this spring/summer while playing on the Nike EYBL circuit.

Louisville still has its sights set on signing one more player from this 2017 class, so it'll be interesting to see how it unfolds.
