Isaac Ellis, a three-star combo guard from the class of 2027, has committed to Louisville.
The 6’1 junior from North Carolina had previously been committed to South Carolina, but decommitted last month. He committed to U of L while on an unofficial visit to the school over the weekend.
Playing for YNG Dreamerz in the Overtime Elite league, Ellis — who is yet another lefty headed to Louisville — is currently averaging 30.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 8.0 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. He scored an OTE record 56 points in a game earlier this season.
Like his older brother Eli, a freshman guard at South Carolina, Isaac has a massive social media following. He has more than 1 million followers on TikTok and over 400,000 on Instagram. Isaac and Eli Ellis are also the subjects of a popular YouTube reality series called “Family Business.”
“I love the culture and the entire staff, Ellis told Joe Tipton. ”Everybody preaches on family and culture but you can kind of sniff out when they are faking it. On my visit I could tell everything they preach on they follow, it was a super great culture a lot of energy and a really high standard.”
…
“It wasn’t your normal college basketball locker room or practice, everything is super detailed and they do things at a really high level on all aspects. I love coach Pat, he is an everyday competitive guy and he pumps his guys with energy all the time. He is who he is and he’s okay with that and that’s someone I wanted to play for.”
Ellis becomes the second member of Pat Kelsey’s recruiting class, joining fellow three-star prospect Ferlandes Wright of LaLumier (formerly Fairdale High).
