Louisville has seen success with graduate transfers this season, as Damion Lee and Trey Lewis are currently the team's top two scorers.

On Tuesday, head coach Rick Pitino locked up a grad transfer for next season in former Penn guard Tony Hicks. Evan Daniels of Scout.com reported the transfer.

The 6-foot-2 guard decided to leave the Penn program back on Oct. 30, but elected to remain in school. Graduating this spring gives him immediate eligibility for the 2016-17 season. He played his first three seasons for Jerome Allen, but he and the school parted ways at the end of the 2014-15 season.

Hicks was the Quakers leading scorer, averaging 13.2 points per game. He was an All-Ivy League honorable mention pick last season.

Hicks joins an incoming class that includes five-star wing V.J. King and shooting guard Frankie Hughes.
