Moussa Kamissoko’s rise this summer has now turned into a full-fledged recruiting road map.
The 6-foot-8 Class of 2027 wing/forward, a standout with the PSA Cardinals and a player at traditional national power Long Island Lutheran, has lined up a packed stretch of official visits. Kamissoko will open that run at Florida State from Aug. 28-30, then head to Syracuse on Sept.
3-4, Virginia on Sept. 5-6, Oklahoma State on Sept. 12-13 and BYU on Sept.
15-17.
His trip slate continues with Illinois from Sept. 18-20 and UConn from Sept. 25-27 before closing out with Louisville on Oct. 6-7 and Baylor on Oct. 16-18.
Kamissoko’s stock was built in the grind of the Nike EYBL, where he shared the floor with highly coveted Class of 2027 guard Micah Gordon and equally hotly pursued Class of 2028 wing Colton Hiller. In that setting, he showed why evaluators keep coming back to him: he’s long, explosive and already brings a polished scoring package that works at all three levels.
He also flashed a growing ability to swing games with quick bursts, along with a much better 3-point shot than he had shown before. Add in his value on both ends, and Kamissoko enters a bigger stage at LUHI with the profile of a player ready to take on a leadership role.
That’s the next step for him, and it comes with the same kind of expectation that’s followed other high-major names before him, including Kayden Mingo (Baylor), Dylan Mingo (Baylor), Nigel James (Marquette), Kiyan Anthony (Syracuse), and several others. Kamissoko will go into his senior season as a seasoned veteran.
He first made a national splash on the AAU circuit in Memphis during EYBL Session I, where he stood out as a creative scorer with a crafty one-on-one game. His guard-like handle, combined with the continued development of his left hand, made him tough to sort out in isolation.
“The length that Kamissoko has, him being able to guard multiple positions, he will attack the defensive glass, all of these factors (differentiate him),” said PSA Cardinals head coach Donovan Jones.
“He’s a coach-able kid. He is paying attention to all of the little details.
He can go anywhere in that SEC conference, in the Big East, the Big 10. How he develops his body will determine a lot, because those are all physical conferences.”

Louisville Safeties Sound Ready For A Massive Ole Miss Test
Louisvilles safety room is one of the more interesting parts of camp as the Cardinals get ready for a season opener that will arrive with immediate pressure against No. 9 Ole Miss. TJ Banks, Kaleb Beasley, Blake Ruffin and Antonio Watts all offered a window into where the group stands, and the early read is that the position has leaned on continuity, communication and a shared sense of purpose as the defense ramps up for a major early test.
Watts, in particular, has become a notable part of the conversation after working his way back from the season-ending knee injury that cut short his year a season ago. He said he is back to full health, and his presence gives Louisville another experienced piece in a secondary that has talked throughout camp about its unity and energy. With Ole Miss first on the schedule, the Cardinals are counting on that back end to be steady from the start. [Read more 🡒]
AJ Green Gives Louisvilles Defensive Front A Huge 2026 Boost
AJ Greens decision to return gives Louisvilles defensive front a major piece to build around heading into 2026. The redshirt junior from Atlanta turned in a productive 2025 season, finishing with four sacks, four quarterback hurries, a forced fumble, a blocked kick, six tackles for loss and 31 total tackles, the kind of all-around impact that can anchor a pass rush and change field position in a hurry.
For a Cardinals defense looking to keep its front seven disruptive, Greens return is the kind of development that matters well beyond one players production. Louisville also continues to lean on Ryan Zimmerman in a different role, with the redshirt sophomore quarterback from Carmel, Ind., expected to help steer the offense through hand signals and play calls even if he is not likely to see much game action in 2026.

Louisville's New QB Faces One Big Test In Jeff Brohm's Offense
Jeff Brohms quarterback search has followed a familiar script since he took over at Louisville, and this fall it looks like Lincoln Kienholz is next in line to run the show. The transfer has settled into Brohms demanding offense and is expected to lead a program that has continued to win while cycling through quarterbacks, a reminder that stability under center has not been a requirement for success in this stretch.
Louisville is one of four ACC teams to reach 20 or more wins while using a fourth different starting quarterback since 2023, which says plenty about how the Cardinals have managed to keep moving. Kienholz still carries the intrigue of a player with years of eligibility left, but the real test now is whether he can turn adaptation into command once the season puts the offense in motion.
