Louisville falling behind for coveted 5-star target as Big East surge continues

Louisville basketball is trending in the right direction for multiple 5-star prospects in the 2026 recruiting class. While the Cardinals may not have yet earned commitments from the elite recruiting cycle, they have made multiple updated recruiting lists, including 5-star guard Abdou Toure.

Louisville recently made Toure's final seven schools after he cut his list from over 18 offers down to seven. The Cardinals are now in a recruiting battle with Arkansas, Florida State, Maryland, Oregon, Providence, and UConn, but appear to be falling behind one school in particular fast.
