Thursday afternoon Cardinal news and notes Share this story —The Louisville baseball team is off to Chapel Hill for its final road series of the season. Here’s a preview. —Former U of L women’s soccer star Emina Ekic has been named a United Soccer Coaches Third Team All-American. —Few things have ever been more up my alley than the Ken Burns documentary on Muhammad Ali that is coming this fall. 1.

I'm once again breaking this up into two posts because I'm incapable of brevity, it seems. We're going in reverse order and using tiers. There's some projection to these rankings. I went off Bart Torvik's 2022 projections for NBA Draft decisions that are still up in the air; while these things are difficult to predict, his projected rotations seem quite reasonable.
