The Cardinals are entering year one of the Pat Kelsey era.
For starters, second-year head coach Kenny Payne was dismissed just one day removed from their abysmal 8-24 season. As expected, it triggered a multitude of roster construction dominoes over the next month-plus.
While there's still roughly six months until the start of the 2024-25 college basketball season, with Louisville's roster now complete, now we can begin a more intimate breakdown and analysis of the roster as a whole.
Eight of the transfer newcomers shot at least 32 percent from three, six of them shot 35 percent or better, while three connected on 39 percent or better. Reyne Smith hit 39.5 percent of his attempts and was ninth nationally in made threes at 112, J'Vonne Hadley connected on 41.7 percent of his threes, while Kobe Rodgers was a blazing 45.0 percent.
For starters, nearly every player on the roster can play multiple positions on either end of the court. Some can play the two and the three, others the three and four or the four and five, while a few - such as Hadley and Aboubacar Traore - can play three different spot on the floor.
