Top-ranked junior college prospect El Ellis picks Louisville

Two days and two commitments for the Louisville men’s basketball program.

A day after receiving a verbal pledge from Hargrave Military Academy’s Gabe Wiznitzer, the Cardinals have landed Elbert “El” Ellis, the top-ranked junior college prospect in the class of 2021.

“I feel like being in the ACC, on that stage is going to be huge,” Ellis told 247 Sports. “I built a good relationship with coach [Chris] Mack and coach Dino [Gaudio] and I believe in them and I believe they have a really good plan for my future and my goals and that’s going pro after I’m done with school.
