4. Reach- Jaxon Richardson
A 5-star small forward that Louisville fans should be more familiar with is Jaxon Richardson, the son of Jason Richardson. The 5-star recruit is keeping the Cardinals in the mix despite Louisville going heavy for No. 1 overall recruit Tyran Stokes.
However, with recent news about Stokes, the Cards may now be targeting Richardson more. He ranks as high as No. 11 in the nation and the No. 4 small forward according to ESPN. Last season, he stacked his stat sheet after averaging 13.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game, and shot over 60 percent from the field.
The 6-foot-6, 200-pound forward visited the Cardinals last October, and recently scheduled an official visit in November. He cut his list to 10 schools, placing Louisville alongside Alabama, Villanova, Miami, Ole Miss, USC, Seton Hall, Cincinnati, Creighton, and Michigan. The Cardinals will have to work overtime on him if they want to land him, but it might be worth it if the Stokes rumors are true.
