June 10, 2019 - The Lousiville Cardinals are ranked 5th in ESPN's latest Way-Too-Early men's college basketball rankings. Columnist Jeff Borzello had this to say about the Cardinals...
"Chris Mack and the Cardinals had two big questions when the season ended. One, whom would they find to play the point guard position? And two, would Jordan Nwora enter the NBA draft? They figured out the first one quickly, with the addition of Saint Joseph's graduate transfer Lamarr Kimble, but the second question went down to the wire before Nwora announced he was heading back to Louisville. Steven Enoch also withdrew his name from the draft. Mack brings back most of the rest of the rotation -- and welcomes one of the elite recruiting classes in the country. McDonald's All American Samuell Williamson is the most college-ready of the group."
Michigan State was ranked #1 and Kentucky was #2. Louisville was ranked second among ACC teams.
