Jaden Quentance is planning his first visit since leaving the Kentucky Wildcats, and it may come as a surprise.
According to Eric Bossi, Quain Dance is visiting the Louisville Cardinals.
It is unclear when the visit will take place.
Not long after John Calipari left for Arkansas, Quiintance asked and later received a release from Kentucky's NLI. Many thought he might end up at Arkansas, but it appears he's open to other schools as well.
Louisville wasn't a major player in Quaintance's initial recruitment, ultimately settling on Kentucky and Missouri, while schools like Florida, Ohio State and Kansas were previous candidates.
Is Quaintance serious about Louisville, or is this Louisville just trying to make some national noise with a big-time recruit visiting for a dime?
In today's world of college sports and the NIL, anything is possible. At least he's listening to other schools, which is good news for Mark Pope and Kentucky. It's also interesting to see whether Quain Dance's visit to Louisville will include a trip to Lexington to meet with the Pope, but that's just speculation at this point.
According to Kyle Tucker, Pope is also scheduled to have an important meeting with Zvonimir Ivicic on Monday.
Ivicic entered the transfer portal this weekend after completing his freshman season with the Wildcats.
Hear about 7-foot-2 Zvonimir Ivicic, aka Big Z, and plan to sit down with Mark Pope tomorrow morning to try and bring the Croatian sensation back to Kentucky.

Pope emphasized in his opening press conference that he was talking to Kentucky's current players and new recruits, but these face-to-face meetings will be more important in Ibicic's final decision. It will be.
If Ivicic leaves Kentucky, he will likely end up at Arkansas. Before Calipari left, rumors were growing that Ibicic would likely return for a second season.
Kentucky has been linked with BYU big man Ali Khalifa and Drexel star Amari Williams, but if that's a possibility, Pope would sign sophomore Big Z next season. You must be thinking about it.
