LOUISVILLE, Kentucky – The Louisville men’s basketball program is hot on the trail of one of the most promising prospects in the class of 2025.
Chris Cenac, a promising junior and No. 1 center in the cycle, released his list of top 12 schools on Friday, with the Cardinals still in the running to sign him.
Of his 30 scholarship offers, Arkansas, Alabama, Auburn, Baylor, UConn, Houston, Kentucky, LSU, Michigan State, Tennessee and Texas also made it.
The 6-foot-10, 225-pound big man is viewed as a five-star prospect by three of the four major recruiting services and is rated as the No. 6 prospect in the cycle by ESPN. The 247Sports Composite ranks him as the highest-ranked center and 16th among all prospects.
A native of New Orleans, Cenac began his high school career at Isidore Newman before announcing this summer that he would play his senior season at Branson (Missouri) Link Academy. As a junior, Cenac averaged 13.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.9 steals, 1.7 assists and 1.3 blocks per game.
As efficient as he was during his junior season, Cenac was just as good in the offseason, too. He was named MVP of the NBPA Top 100 Camp, helped the U.S. national under-17 team win the gold medal at the FIBA U17 World Championship, and was named MVP of Puma’s PRO16 league.
