Tony Woods set to visit Louisville

Once the news became official that Tony Woods was leaving Wake Forest, the obvious question became where he would end up. A guilty plea to assault or not, Woods is a 6'11" center with enough potential that he was once considered a top 20 recruit.

Plenty of coaches will be willing to open their doors to provide a talent like that a second chance.

According to Jeff Goodman, Louisville will be getting the first crack at landing Woods, while a number of other big time programs have inquired about him:

Woods' former summer coach, Norman Parker of the Georgia Stars, told FOXSports.com that Woods is expected to take an official visit to Rick Pitino's program.

"He'll go this weekend," Parker said.

Parker also said that Kentucky, West Virginia, Georgetown, Auburn, Xavier, Cincinnati – among others – have reached out to both him and Woods' mother in an attempt to recruit the junior.

"I've literally gotten about 30 calls about him," Parker said. "I've been bombarded. He's a good kid who made a mistake and is sorry. He knows he had a good opportunity with Coach (Jeff) Bzdelik and made a mistake."

There is also, apparently, a slight chance that Woods would be allowed back at Wake Forest, although Parker told Goodman that is unlikely.

Since it is currently the middle of the fall semester, Woods will not be allowed to enroll anywhere until the spring semester, meaning he will not be eligible to play until December of 2011 should he end up at a different school.
