Moussa Kamissoko’s summer run with the PSA Cardinals ended with a clear payoff: the Class of 2027 wing has pushed himself into five-star territory, and now he’s taking that momentum to Spire Academy in Ohio.
The move comes after a transfer from Long Island Lutheran, and it gives Kevin Boyle another elite piece to work with as Spire continues to stack talent. The roster already includes prized 2029 recruit David Johnson, 2027 point guard Micah Gordon, and King Gibson, one of the most heavily recruited players in the Class of 2027.
SPIRE Basketball welcomed Kamissoko on social media, posting: "Welcome to @PSACardinals wing Moussa Kamissoko 🤝
Moussa is already one of the most elite players in the country, and his versatility will be one of the keys to our team fighting to capture a championship this season🏆 https://t.co/0keVsXAI52"
Kamissoko’s game took another step this summer on the EYBL circuit, where his length, two-way versatility, and reliable outside shooting stood out. At 6-foot-8, he also showed he can put the ball on the floor and create for both himself and others, a skill set that helped him draw even more attention from high-major programs.
That interest has now turned into a full slate of official visits. Kamissoko is set to see Florida State from Aug.
28-30, Syracuse on Sept. 3-4, Virginia on Sept.
5-6, Oklahoma State on Sept. 12-13, and BYU on Sept. 15-17.
His schedule continues with trips to Illinois on Sept. 18-20, UConn on Sept.
25-27, Louisville on Oct. 6-7, and Baylor on Oct. 16-18.

Pat Kelseys Latest Staff Move Shows Louisvilles Overhaul Isnt Slowing Down
Pat Kelseys offseason staff churn is continuing to reshape Louisville basketball, with the Cardinals adding Carlos Dotson as a player development coach. Dotson, 29, arrives with experience at Clemson, UCF and two NBA teams, giving Kelsey another young staffer with a mix of college and pro background as the program keeps leaning into a full-scale rebuild.
Dotson steps into a role that opened when Peyton Siva left for St. Johns, and hell join Charlie Champagne and Kyle Zunic in the player development group. For Louisville, the move is another sign that Kelsey is still putting his own stamp on the program, with the structure around the roster changing almost as quickly as the roster itself. [Read more 🡒]
Louisville Has A Defensive Anchor And A New Reason To Exhale
TJ Capers has become one of the steadier presences in Louisvilles defense, the kind of senior linebacker who can change the tone of a series with speed, size and power. He has taken a noticeable step forward in recent seasons, and his impact plays have given the Cardinals a player they can trust in the middle of the defense as the year unfolds.
Davin Wydner gives Louisville a different kind of security behind center. The senior transfer from West Georgia brings a dual-threat skill set, with a strong arm and real mobility, and he is settled in as the No. 2 quarterback with the kind of profile that matters if his number is ever called. For a team looking for stability and options, that is a useful piece to have waiting in the wings. [Read more 🡒]
Louisville May Have A New Recruiting Fight On Its Hands
Reese Alstons recruitment is starting to look like one of the bigger Midwest and regional battles on the board, and Louisville has positioned itself right in the middle of it. The five-star point guard has trimmed his list to seven schools, with the Cardinals joined by LSU, Kentucky, Tennessee, Wichita State, Houston and Vanderbilt, and Louisville is currently viewed as the frontrunner in the race.
Kentucky, though, is the challenger that matters most here, which gives this one a different feel for Louisville fans watching the process unfold. Alston has already taken official visits to Louisville and Wichita State, along with an unofficial visit to Kentucky, and more official visits are expected as the battle tightens. The Cardinals have work to do to keep their edge, especially with a blueblood in the mix and a decision still to come. [Read more 🡒]
