Second-ranked 2027 PG Reese Alston recaps first official visit to Louisville

It was a massive recruiting weekend for Louisville basketball, as three 2027 visitors were on campus to see the Cardinals' blowout win over Memphis.  Second Baptist’s (TX) Reese Alston, a top-20 overall player in the class, was in attendance and enjoyed what was on display.  It was the 6-foot-2, 160-pound point guard’s first official visit and a big one for Louisville and head coach Pat Kelsey. Alston currently ranks as the No. 2 point guard in the nation and projects to be one of his age group’s best ball handlers. He is also the son of former Houston Rocket and legendary streetballer Rafer Alston, also known as ‘Skip 2 My Lou.’ Lil Skip had previously taken unofficial visits to Kentucky, LSU, and SMU this fall after dominating on the Puma circuit this summer. Alston was invited to several prestigious camps, including the NBPA Top 100 and John Lucas Invitational.  The Houston native spoke with Cardinal Sports, touching on his visit to Louisville, his recruitment, and plans to visit a nearby Big Ten school.  Join our Cardinal Sports community for more exclusive Louisville athletics content and our open forums.
