Getting to know Louisville women’s basketball 2022 commit Imani Lester.
With our second installment of the Louisville women’s basketball 2022 recruiting class Q&A, we highlight commit Imani Lester.
Lester is a 6’3″ post player out of North Raleigh Christian Academy in Raleigh, North Carolina. ESPN has Lester ranked as the number 50 overall recruit, and number 7 post player in the 2022 class. Lester made her commitment official to the Cards on June 29th.
I thought now was a good time for Cards fans to get to know Lester, with her commitment being less than two months ago and not a big social media presence.
I caught up with Lester this week with a few questions so Cards fans can get to know more about the 2022 commit.
