Louisville basketball: Chris Mack looking to catch lightning in a bottle

Louisville basketball had some luck on the 2020 recruiting circuit with junior college transfers, landing arguably the best junior college players in the last five years.

Named an NJCAA First-Team All-American as a first-year player, being invited to the U-19 Team USA training camp,

Jay Scrubb has the potential to be the real-deal at Louisville.

That success has the Cardinal coaching staff once again looking to the junior college level as they extended an offer to star freshman Elbert “El” Ellis.

After staring at the prep level, the 6’2, 180-pound guard chose to go the JUCO route, enrolling at Tallahassee Community College over offers from low-mid majors such as NC Central, Southern, Eastern Kentucky, amongst others.
