Louisville basketball is trying to land their third 5-star in three years, and Pat Kelsey has his eyes on one of the top point guards in the 2027 recruiting class. Cayden Daughtry is ranked as high as No. 3 overall and No. 2 among point guards, and Kelsey continues to push hard for the 5-star guard.
Earlier this year, Louisville made Daughtry’s final 14, and as we approached fall, Kelsey made it clear he “needs” the 5-star. Kelsey’s strong push landed an official visit from the 5-star, and now, just a few weeks later, Kelsey visited Daughtry again on Sunday, November 8. Daughtry put on a show for Kelsey, scoring 39 points and adding 10 assists while shooting 54% from the field and 4-of-6 from beyond the arc.
