Live Tracker: What 2024 Transfers Has Louisville Reached Out To?

The Cardinals will have to hit the transfer portal hard following the end of their 2023-24 season.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - It's been an incredibly active offseason for the Louisville men's basketball program. Not long after the Cardinals concluded their abysmal 2023-24 season, one that resulted in the dismissal of second-year head coach Kenny Payne, the roster began to flip considerably.

So far, Louisville has seen 11 players enter the transfer portal and two players graduate. As of Apr. 10, the only player in line to return for next season is walk-on guard Hercy Miller.

Additionally, the Cardinals currently have no commitments in their Class of 2024. Since most 2024 prospects are already committed and/or signed elsewhere, new head coach Pat Kelsey is expected to fill most of - if not all - the remaining 11 scholarships via the portal.

So who are the transfers that Louisville is currently targeting? Below is the list of transfers that UofL has reached out to, courtesy of reports from CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein, On3's Jamie Shaw and Joe Tipton, 24/7 High School Sports' Sam Kayser, The Athletic's Tobias Bass, 247Sports' Travis Branham, The Field of 68's Jeff Goodman, and CBB Content:
