Louisville basketball's true freshman Mikel Brown Jr. was recently named to the Bob Cousy Point Guard Preseason Watch List. The Louisville Cardinals have incredibly high expectations for their superstar point guard after he was ranked the No. 1 point guard in the 2025 recruiting class.
Louisville is expected to have one of the best backcourts in the nation, and a key reason is because of Brown Jr. and what he is bringing to this Cardinals team. Brown Jr. is expected to have a significant role in the 2025-26 season after leading Team USA to a gold medal and having a massive senior season in high school, and he is now earning the recognition he deserves.
