Louisville basketball is expected to be one of the best programs in college basketball next season, and the glaring reason is their 5-star point guard, Mikel Brown Jr. The 6-foot-5 point guard is the second-highest rated commitment in Louisville basketball history, and all offseason long, he has heard his name and the expectations the fans have for him.
Everyone in the nation is expecting Brown to guide this Louisville team to a deep March Madness run, and at the age of 18, that can be a lot of pressure. Yes, he is expected to be a top-five NBA Draft pick in 2026, but the pressure of high expectations will be something he must adjust to and learn how to handle.
