Incoming elite talent will help Louisville basketball take next step

Chris Mack and Louisville basketball played the 2018-19 season with just 10 scholarships players, leaving him limited when it came to using different variations in the front court, which at time hampered their ability when playing against heavy front court teams who got their big men in foul trouble.

While the wing was a fairly strong area for the Cardinals this season, we saw at times that the lack of depth forced Mack into playing Jordan Nwora and Dwayne Sutton more than he probably should’ve, especially when VJ King was struggling.

Fortunately, Chris Mack and staff are bringing in the 7th ranked recruiting class per 247 Sports, headlined by five star wing Samuell Williamson and four star big man Aidan Igiehon.
