Jaxon Richardson - SF

Behind Stokes, one of the Cardinals' top small forward targets is the son of NBA star Jaxon Richardson. The 5-star small forward is ranked as high as No. 11 in the nation and No. 4 in the 2026 recruiting class. The 6-foot-6, 200-pound forward took an unofficial visit to Louisville back in February for the Florida State game and has since put the Cards in his top 10.

The Miami native also included elite programs like Alabama, Villanova, Miami, Ole Miss, USC, and others. On3 Sports gives Alabama and Ole Miss the best odds to earn his commitment, and Louisville the fifth-best percentage.
