Terry Rozier and Wayne Blackshear have signed with the same Miami-based agent.

The two former University of Louisville basketball players had a signing ceremony and visit with Verus Management on Thursday in Cleveland, according to Slam magazine. Verus president Seth Cohen welcomed the duo as clients of his sports management firm via Twitter, then later tweeted a photo of Rozier and Blackshear standing with NBA commissioner Adam Silver.

By signing with an agent, Rozier, a 6-foot-1 guard, has officially forfeited his amateur status and cannot return to school. Blackshear, a 6-5 wing, will graduate from Louisville this spring.

Verus Management represents former St. John's star Jakarr Sampson, who's now with the Philadelphia 76ers.
