Louisville basketball learns they are one step closer to landing the No. 1 center in the 2026 class after Arafan Diane cut his list to just 12 schools, and the Louisville Cardinals are in it, per On3 Sports/Rivals Joe Tipton. The Cardinals have been targeting Diane for quite some time now, as they have been one of the top programs on his list according to On3 Sports predictions.
The 7-foot-280-pound center is one of the top players in the country as he ranks as high as No. 15 in the nation and the best prospect out of Iowa.
