So as of today we have these guys who CAN come back and have committed

J'Vonne Hadley
Kasean Pryor
Aly Khalifa
Koren Johnson
James Scott
Khani Rooths
Mikel Brown
Sanada Fru
(maybe Nate Ament)

I mean some could transfer, but not likely. But just starting out, that's a great building block of guys that have been in the program. Talented and athletic. The recruits could be awesome too.

And we have a BIG NIL BAG. We're now out of the tournament early and can get started. We can get some really good guys to add to this list. We aren't going back down. We may miss having a star like Chucky, will be hard to replace, but we'll be deeper and more talented.

It's remarkable how similar both coaches first year as Louisville coach were.

Brohm goes 10 and 2 in the regular season, finishes second on the ACC and plays in the ACC championship game losing to a top 5 team. He does this despite losing one of his best offensive players down the stretch.

Then Louisville gets a tougher than expected bowl game and loses in blowout fashion ending a great season with a losing streak.

So does that mean the basketball team next season will get hosed by the refs in the big matchup games early in the season?
