With the exception of Wooley, all of Louisville’s rotation players are gone from last year, forcing a complete roster overhaul via the transfer portal. But Coach Pat Kelsey made arguably the biggest move early on, landing both Shelstad and Bidunga at once in the portal.
The following moves made included landing Folguerias to pair with Bidunga in the frontcourt, while Knox and Montgomery are two more wing scorers. Assuming Wooley takes a leap in what should be a larger role in the rotation, the Cardinals should, once again, have one of the best offenses in all of college basketball next year.
