Lets be realistic

Respectfully disagree; it is all about money period. If the money is the same; the selection will turn to exposure and coaching; frankly UL conference affiliation with ACC is significant.
I'm sure any big man who may feel a bit unsure about going to Louisville, would ignore that for 2 million dollars.

Money talks there's no doubt. However, if the money is about the same between UofL and Indiana or Texas Tech, the Cards are still the school with the more risk. CPK would need to be the hoops version of Jeff Brohm and excite these transfers to commit to Louisville.

That may still happen and all of us fans have our fingers crossed it will. It's just not looking good right now.

Lets be realistic

I don't understand why the current players would want to transfer to a new school and a new coach. Your already familiar with UofL and now you have UofL with a new coach. Wouldn't you want to stay at home and improve things
This is a valid point, normally. But there's a reason every single Louisville player entered the portal. The negativity surrounding the program is just not worth the risk when there's other places to go.

Whether it's right or wrong, it's going to take Louisville being a normal team again before many recruits and transfers consider coming here. CPK may succeed his first season. A 17 and 13 record and NIT berth would probably suffice.

Before too long the ineptitude of the KP years will be a bad memory for fans and irrelevant to recruits and transfers. Louisville basketball will be back where it belongs. The Yum center will be mostly full and NIL cash will flow.

We just got to get past one more season and pray that CPK has at least a winning record.
