Louisville basketball's 2026 recruiting class hasn't gone quite as planned, as the Cards have struck out on all their top targets, including Kentucky natives Tyran Stokes and Taylen Kinney. Louisville has yet to land a commitment from a high school in the 2026 class, but the Cardinals fans are hoping that could change with a massive splash.
Recently, the No. 1 overall recruit in the 2027 recruiting class, Bruce Branch III, reclassed to the 2026 recruiting class, and the Cards were one of the top schools to extend an offer to him before he reclassed. Well, yesterday Branch had a huge high school showdown against Southeastern Prep, and good news for Louisville fans is that assistant coach Thomas Carr was courtside, according to Travis Branham.
