Louisville to Host Multiple Elite Prospects for 2022 Louisville Live
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Since its inception in 2019, Louisville Live has not only served as a premier showcase of the men's and women's basketball programs for fans, but the midnight madness-style event has been an excellent showcase of both programs to potential future prospects.
The 2022 edition of the annual preseason event, which will be the first one under first-year men's basketball head coach Kenny Payne, will serve as no exception.
The program will be hosting multiple high-caliber prospects for official visits on Oct. 21, with Louisville Report confirming a total of four prospects will be in town. They will tour the campus and facilities, as well as visit Louisville Live, which is scheduled for that evening.
Of the four confirmed visitors, three of them are ranked as five-star players by the 247Sports Composite in their respective classes. The Class of 2024 is in line to have the most visitors with three, whereas the 2025 cycle will have one.
2023 point guard A.J. Johnson was slated to join the collection of prospects visiting for Louisville Live, but according to a report from 247Sports’ Travis Branham, he will not be taking a visit this weekend due to a “sickness in the family,” and that he “will be looking to reschedule his visit.”
Branham also reported that 2024 small forward Carter Bryant, who was also scheduled to take an official visit to Louisville Live, will not be making the trip as well. Instead, Branham reports, Bryant will be looking to “reschedule for early November.”
Louisville Live is scheduled to take place during homecoming weekend on Friday, Oct. 21 at 8:00 p.m. EST from Louisville Slugger Field. Tickets start at $15, and are available at GoCards.com/LouisvilleLive.
