Former Wisconsin G Chucky Hepburn Will Transfer to Louisville, per Report
A key cog in the Wisconsin Badgers' successful 2023-24 campaign is reportedly headed elsewhere.
Former Badgers guard Chucky Hepburn has committed to play for Louisville in 2025, according to a Thursday afternoon report from Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Hepburn, 21, averaged 9.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and three assists per game in three seasons with Wisconsin. The Omaha-raised guard was named to the Big Ten's All-Freshman team in 2022 for a 25–8 Badgers squad.
In 2023-24, Hepburn's scoring (9.2 points per game) dipped from his sophomore season (12.2 PPG) but he still made the conference's All-Defense and All-Tournament teams. Wisconsin qualified for the NCAA men's tournament as a No. 5seed, losing 72–61 to James Madison.
The Cardinals, on the other hand, are starting from square one under new coach Pat Kelsey. Louisville wrapped up miserable two-year stretch under coach Kenny Payne this past season, following up a 4–28 record in 2022-23 with an 8–24 record last season.
Kelsey has been active in the transfer portal so far this offseason, luring eight newcomers to the Bluegrass State.
