Louisville basketball received a crucial update from one of their top 2026 targets as 5-star point guard and Kentucky native Taylen Kinney cut his list down to 12 schools, per On3 Sports/Rivals Joe Tipton. The Cardinals have been one of the top schools trending for Kinney and are emerging as the favorite to land Kinney.
Pat Kelsey and his staff are making it clear that they want Kinney badly and that they are all-in on the No. 1 point guard in the 2026 class. Even though many Louisville fans assumed they would be on this list, it is still a significant update, as he received over 29 offers and will now pick from his final 12.
