Louisville basketball recruiting: It’s not time to panic
By Jacob Lane
There’s still plenty of talent on the board and more names are sure to pop up
With Deivon Smith and Devin Askew still on the board for Louisville (though Devin Askew would have to change his mind again and reclassify to 2020), there are still two guards who could come in and provide depth and high-level talent at the position.
From the start, Smith has been a name that, if the Cards couldn’t land Love and Askew, would still be a big-time get. Look for the coaching staff to zero in on Smith going forward.
Let’s not forget Louisville is still very much in the picture for Jaemyn Brakefield, who could be a perfect replacement for Jordan Nwora (assuming he goes pro), giving the program another combo forward who can score on all three levels. The Cards are also still in a spot to pursue Josh Hall who visited earlier this month.
Chris Mack is still after big men like Hunter Dickinson, who visited earlier this summer and has included Louisville in two different cuts. Meanwhile, Zach Loveday recently visited and has been high on Louisville for quite a while.
There are other names to keep an eye on who are extremely talented, highly-ranked players.
In the past few weeks, Chris Mack and his staff have identified a new target in four-star Gethro Muscadin, a 6’11” big man who actually plays in Louisville for Aspire Academy and holds numerous power five offers.
Talked with someone who is close with Gethro this week and he raved about his ability to fit into Mack's system as an inside-outside five. Really excited to see if the Cards can hop in late and land the talented four-star big man https://t.co/3tm9HAvqjg

Could there be potential that the big the coaching staff has been looking for in this class could have been playing in the city of Louisville all along?
Don’t sleep on Dickinson either. The 7’2″ big already took an official to Louisville on May 31st.
