Yesterday, the Louisville basketball program learned that one of their top prospects, Taylen Kinney, committed to the Kansas Jayhawks. Kinney was a Kentucky native and was all-in on Louisville for an extended period of time, but after Kansas earned a visit in August, Bill Self swiped him right from Pat Kelsey's hands.
The Cardinals now have to move on quickly from Kinney and secure their next player, and it is clear who Kelsey's new No. 1 guard will be in the 2026 cycle. Colben Landrew is one of the top scorers in the 2026 class, and after skyrocketing up the recruiting rankings this offseason, the Cardinals have quickly emerged as one of his top choices.
