Louisville basketball's 2026 recruiting nightmare continues as the Cardinals learned yesterday they will no longer be considered for 5-star Jaxon Richardson. The small forward is regarded as one of the top athletes in the 2026 recruiting class, ranking as high as No. 11 nationally.

Richardson cut his list down to 10 schools, which included Louisville, and in a battle with powerhouse programs. However, yesterday, the 5-star recruit cut his list down to four schools, and the Cardinals were no longer on the list. The four schools in the running for Richardson are Alabama, Creighton, USC, and Ole Miss.
