Louisville basketball recently received some thrilling news: the Cardinals have made an elite recruit's final three list. Josh Irving is a recruit who has emerged as the Cardinals' top target after they struck out on Taylen Kiney and Colben Landrew.

Irving is a 4-star recruit who ranks as high as the No. 4 center in the 2026 class and ranks No. 40 in the nation. Louisville will now go head-to-head with Texas A&M and Kentucky to earn his commitment. Louisville earned an official visit back in September and also visited the 4-star.

However, since he visited both the Aggies and the Wildcats, and according to a report by Jacob Polacheck of KSR, the Cardinals fans are much closer to finding out if they will land their first 2026 commitment.
