A day after Sydney Curry announced that he was officially returning to Louisville to continue his college basketball career, El Ellis has announced the same.
Ellis, who came to U of L after a stint at Tallahassee Community College that left him as the top-ranked junior college player in the country, made nine starts for the Cards in 2021-22 and averaged 8.7 ppg, making him the team’s third-leading scorer.
While Ellis, like just about every player on last season’s team, was a bit up and down in his first year as a Cardinal, Louisville fans got a glimpse of just how good the lightning quick guard can be when he’s at his best.
