Louisville basketball has already made some splashes in the 2027 recruiting class, with the most recent being Isaac Ellis. The Cardinals have two commitments in the 2027 class, while they only have one in the 2026 class. The Cardinals' lone commitment in the 2026 recruiting class is London Johnson, one of the first former G League players to commit and return to college basketball.
While the whole nation erupted in criticism of this move, Kelsey emphasized that there is no difference between schools getting players from international professional leagues. Well, with Louisville struggling to land commitments from the 2026 class, the Cards are back in contact with a G-League player and a former 5-star recruit.
