North Texas point guard Tylor Perry is a proven winner. Winning a junior college national championship and an NIT championship at North Texas, Perry is looking for the next ring: an NCAA National Championship.

The 5-foot-11 guard was under-recruited coming out of high school, but now Division I programs all over the country are competing for his services. One particular program, amongst others, has been in consistent contact with the former Mean Green guard. A recent report was released via Twitter confirming that the University of Louisville has been “reaching out a lot.”

As of yesterday, 2023 recruits Koron Davis and Trentyn Flowers officially signed with Louisville, as well as Illinois transfer Skyy Clark. Of note, the three of them were listed as guards via the official page of the Louisville Cardinals.


The guard position was a cause for concern for Louisville fans as there was speculation surrounding Trentyn Flowers being considered a guard or a forward. But, now it is confirmed he is a guard, and fellow Class of 2023 signee Curtis Williams Jr. has also clarified that he will be playing the shooting guard position.

So, suddenly the backcourt looks fairly loaded with Skyy Clark, Curtis Williams Jr., Trentyn Flowers,  Hercy Miller, Koron Davis, and potentially even Mike James. Kenny Payne would certainly love to add some veteran leadership to this backcourt and Tylor Perry would be the perfect fit for this team.

Tylor Perry officially trims his list from 12 teams to 8 teams, and the University of Louisville made his list.

If he does decide to suit up in Louisville next year, then Louisville could contend for the ACC, albeit Duke is projected to be the Preseason No. 1. If Perry and Mackenzie Mgbako come to Louisville, then the Cardinals would move up to the No. 2 overall recruiting class and would solidify that the University of Louisville is back, if it wasn’t already.

Kenny Payne just needed the cloud to be lifted and some time to establish himself as the head of this program, and now he is doing exactly what we all wanted and what we all expected. The future is bright here in Louisville.
