Summary
Louisville ranks among the most interesting teams heading into the season; it's no surprise the Cards get back into the Summer Shootaround mix.

Norlander is joined on this episode by Mark Ennis, a local radio host in Louisville who knows the program inside and out. Mikel Brown Jr. is the guy who's got Cards fans amped, but there's enough here to believe U of L could be a top-10 team.
