PG JJ Mandaquit of Louisville basketball receives an offer in 2025.

Pat Kelsey, who recently assumed the role of head basketball coach at the University of Louisville, has been actively engaged in his new position for the past two weeks. During this time, his focus has primarily been on immediate tasks such as assembling a coaching staff and exploring potential additions to the team via the transfer portal for the upcoming season. However, Kelsey and his team are now also beginning to shift their attention towards future recruiting endeavors for the program.

In a recent development, JJ Mandaquit, a highly regarded point guard from Utah Prep with a 6-foot-1, 190-pound frame and a four-star rating, took to social media on Thursday night to announce that he has received a scholarship offer from Louisville. This marks the first public offer extended by Kelsey to a high school prospect since taking on the role as head coach.
