The folks over at the Field of 68 believe the Cardinals could be an NCAA Tournament team in year one of the Pat Kelsey era.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Pat Kelsey has only been the head coach of the Louisville men's basketball program since Mar. 28. But in that month-plus since being hired to take over the Cardinals, he and his staff have done a masterful job in the transfer portal .
"I think what Kelsey has done is more impressive certainly than what Mark Pope has done in the short term, with putting together a team that the pieces fit," Jeff Goodman said."Hepburn was kind of the final- well not the final key piece, because they still need to get a big. They still need a five minute at this point. ... If they get one of those two guys , they're in business. They're absolutely in business.
"I think Chucky Hepburn is really good, he's going to be an all ACC guard," Dauster said."Reyne Smith is a shooter, Koren Johnson is a good piece. We know what Terrence Edwards is, he can be one of those versatile wings. I like J'Vonne Hadley. I actually liked the addition of Aboubacar Traore, I think he's one of the better defenders that you can pull out of the portal. And don't forget about boy James Scott.
Part of the reason why the Goodman, Dauster and John Fanta are so high on Louisville is because of how well these pieces fit together as it pertains to Kelsey's scheme. While this might not be the creme-of-the-crop in terms of transfer classes compared to places like Indiana, Kansas and Arkansas, they fit together really well.
