Well, Louisville basketball struck out on another top target this afternoon after Colben Landrew committed to the UConn Huskies. Landrew is a 4-star prospect and one of the top wing players in the 2026 recruiting class.
Louisville was all-in on Landrew and made it clear they wanted him in a red and black uniform, but the 4-star chose the Huskies over the Cardinals today. Many believed it was a two-way battle between the two teams, but with UConn getting the last visit on October 4, it appears that was the icing on the cake to earn his commitment.
Louisville has now missed on multiple elite recruits in the 2026 class and is still without any commitments. The Cardinals have struck out on Taylen Kinney and Landrew now, who were two of their three top targets. So, with the odds looking to be stacked against Louisville, who do they turn to now?
Here are two dreams, two reaches, and two realistic targets for Louisville after Colben Landrew's commitment.
