Louisville thanks incoming women's basketball recruits with their own billboards

Louisville signed the top women's basketball recruiting class in the country on Wednesday. Thursday, it thanked its recruits in a big way. A really, really big way: their very own billboards near their hometowns.

The class includes Asia Durr of St. Pius X Catholic (Douglasville, Ga.), Sam Fuehring of Immaculate Conception (Lodi, N.J.), Taja Cole of Lloyd C. Bird (Richmond, Va.) High School, Erin DeGrate of La Vega (Waco, Texas) High School, and Brianna Jones of North Babylon (N.Y.) High School.

The girls comprise the highest-ranked recruiting class in the program's history. The congratulatory billboards will be there through Saturday, Nov. 15 at midnight.

It's common to see billboards for Heisman candidates or college players, but few high school recruit billboards come to mind. If you know of any others, tell us in the comments.
