Louisville basketball fans have been keeping a close eye on many 2026 prospects, but without a doubt, the Cardinals' top two targets are the Kentucky natives, Tyran Stokes and Taylen Kinney. While Stokes' recruiting process has been quiet and hard to predict, Kinney has had much more buzz.
The Cardinals were once the dominant favorite to land Kinney, but now have lost some of their lead away as Kentucky and Kansas gained ground. In the latest news and rumors surrounding Kinney, 247Sports' Travis Branham reported that the Kentucky native has canceled his visits to Texas and Miami, leading many to believe a commitment is imminent and those two programs are off the table.
