Louisville Lands Elite Recruit Isaac Ellis
16 Dec
Summary
- Isaac Ellis has flipped his commitment to Louisville.
- He previously committed to South Carolina but reclassified.
- Ellis averages 30.4 points per game for Moravian Prep.

The Louisville Cardinals basketball program has successfully flipped a key recruit, securing the commitment of Isaac Ellis. Ellis, a standout junior guard, was previously committed to South Carolina but reopened his recruitment last month, reclassifying from the Class of 2026 to 2027. His decision to join the Cardinals came after an unofficial visit over the weekend, during which he expressed strong admiration for the team's culture and coaching staff.
Ellis currently plays high school basketball for Moravian Prep in North Carolina, where he is averaging a remarkable 30.4 points per game, along with 8.0 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.0 steals. His impressive scoring ability and all-around game make him a significant addition to Louisville's roster as they look to build for the future.
This commitment marks a strong early success for new head coach Pat Kelsey. The recruitment of Ellis also adds an interesting dynamic, given he is the younger brother of current South Carolina freshman Eli Ellis. This flip could potentially influence future recruiting battles between the two programs.
