Louisville finished the season with a 24-11 record, losing seven games in ACC play. One of the biggest unknowns right now is who will replace Mikel Brown Jr., who is projected to be a top-10 NBA prospect. He was the biggest contributor to Louisville’s success, but missed the playoffs due to injury.

This is where the Cardinals stand in the transfer portal.

According to On3, Louisville is one of the most active teams, with multiple players departing on the first day of the transfer portal.
