"We are happy that Amaury chose to play at Louisville," said Ecarma. "He is a 6'4" player with a big serve and moves well for his size. We have always enjoyed developing players with above average size like Joachim Lien, Matt Mayer, Jakob Gustafsson, and Slavko Radman. All four of the players were Louisville greats. If Amaury can develop and have a career like them, I will be ecstatic."
