i dont think you can say that just yet. but, i would love to see him get to play. but i just don't see it happening his freshman year. especially if louisville gets a good guard. they have plenty of people at that posistion.

EJ is a "Gym Rat".
IMO he will out work everyone, and earn some playing time for the cardinals before too long.

I don't look for him to get playing timr right away but the reason he is going to a D-1 college is because he wants is more and has worked harder then any other player in the mountains...he will work harder then most players on that team and Pitino's style of play fit Justice perfectly so I do look for him to get to play by his 2nd year...make the mountains proud

Unless Pitino moves another guard to point, Elisha could get playing time right away. Pitino has no back up PG for next year once Siva takes over because Sosa is graduating. But, he could move a guard over if he doesn't feel Elisha could handle it right away, but Elisha has handled everything ever thrown at him just fine, I think he'll be alright and I look for him to be backing up Siva next year, maybe only playing 5-10 minutes a game, but playing.

Actually they do have Russ Smith coming in next year who is also a PG. Not sure how solid he is, but he is going there.

He is more athletic than Elisha though as he dunks fairly easy. Seems people are confused about his size though, I've seen him listed at 5'10, 6'0, and 6'2.

If he was going to be Pitino's back up point guard he would have offered him a scholly. A walk on at a major college is not going to play. He will not leave the bench much like Stewart Miller who walked on at UL a few years back. Justice will be no different.

Nobody on this site other than Paintsville fans thought Landon Slone would play any at UK and he got in a few minutes a game. Think what you want, if he plays, he plays, if not, so what. Elisha wants to be a coach anyways, he's getting what he wants in the future out of this.

EJ loves the game and works as hard as anyone i know at the game of basketball. He might not get it his first or second year but if he sticks it out he will get some good minutes his junior and senior year.

no one loves seein mountain kids get playing time than me..........but if elisha justice gets a low of PT for the cards then they must be in the womb

What will Elisha do IF Pitino calls it quits after this season?
I do not want to see EJ go through what Landon did with Gillispie at UK. If I where him I would accept the offer from EKU or whomever else has offered. I do realize that EJ wants to become a coach and mentoring under Pitino is a great oppurtunity, but there is that chance that UL may pull the plug or Pitino leaves/retires after this season, especially if UL doesn't make the tournament.

Pitino will be there for at least one more season. His baby was to get them into this new arena, I am sure that he will get at least one season in it. I love EJ and his game. I believe he does not expect to come in and play 15 minutes a game in his freshmen season.

Is Elisha a scholarship player at Louisville?

Once one becomes available. For next year he will be a preferred walk-on.

Lets say UK wins the national championship and Wall, Cousins, Bledsoe, and Patterson leave for the NBA draft. We have 6 open scholarships and we aren't going to sign 6 elite level players on the scouting websites, because most of the top 150 have already signed. Now, lets also say that Cal offers Elisha a scholarship, would he accept or is he that dead set on going to Louisville? Because I find it hard to believe that EJ was ever a Louisville fan while growing up.
I'm not saying that EJ can come in and get minutes for UK, but the kid can flat out play basketball.

EJ will sit his Freshman year no doubt. But he will not be one of these walk-ons that dont play all four years. IMO, take the first nine off of UK and he is better than the rest of the team. Mark it down. His sophmore or Junior year, Pitino will give him a scholarship.

Exactly. EJ will be a minute man. They may put him in with a minute to go up 20 to win the game lol. Thats all I see from him.
03-22-2010, 06:37 PM
Guys please dont knock him so hard because he deserves better. If you dont think he can play that is OK but some of these post are ridiculous. Justice is taking a big chance because it is looking unlikely that Pitino will be there for 4 more years which would really be tough.

Really?? No offense to he nor his family nor Louisville but if he were better than the last four on UK's bench which are Stevenson, Harrellson, Hood and Krebs, he would be getting a scholarship. I'll give you Krebs just out of generousity.

He turned down 4, committed to walk-on early and shied away many more that were coming such as Morehead State.
03-22-2010, 10:55 PM
He is good, but at Louisville he will play Center, Guard, and Forward. He'll set in the Center of the bench, Guard the water cooler, and look Forward to the next game. At a D-2 school he might do something, at Louisville, I just don't see much happening there.

That tells me his GPA isnt that high then. Yea, hes a good player but not good enough to play in the Big East. Look at Siva, He was a 4 star McDonalds AA and only got 3-8 mins a game.
To me he would fit in good at a lower D1 like EKU, WKU, or Morehead. Maybe he just wants to be on the team and dont care about playing time. If he wants playing time, I would say he should go somewhere else.
Maybe after they won the State Tourny he is getting some D1 offers now? Who knows, but thats my 2 cents!
