Despite several media reports, St. Xavier running back Deuce Finch has still not made a commitment.

Finch said reports that he committed to the University of Kentucky are false.

"I don't know where that started," Finch said.

The 5-foot-10, 200-pound Finch said he holds eight offers but is unsure when he might be ready to make a commitment.

Kentucky, Louisville, Illinois, Northwestern, Stanford, Vanderbilt, North Carolina State and Cincinnati have already offered Finch a scholarship.

"I am not ready to commit," Finch said. "I want to try and start narrowing it down some, but I want to take my time and make the best decision for me."

Finch, who missed four games because of injuries as a junior, ran 170 times for 1,620 yards and 15 touchdowns. He averaged a whopping 9.2 yards a carry for the season.
