I know we don’t even really know what positions we’ll need until after this tourney run, but guys are starting to enter the portal from other teams.

This guy from EKU might be someone to keep an eye on, dropped 24 on us in the Yum:

A 6’2” F from SMU who lead the ACC in rebounding last year. Yes please, this makes sense. The other two are guards. Doesn’t really make sense.

Folks… We are still essentially a month out. And I’ve been transparent with this recruitment that when you swim in these waters, there are always more twists and turns ahead.

Moved up an hour!!!

8-8 tie early. 2 fouls already on Auburn. Looking like Auburn’s going to try to be physical whenever Florida gets into the paint.

Scott, 6'11
Khalifa, 6'11
Pryor, 6'10
Fru, 6'10
Rooths, 6'8
Hadley, 6'6
Brown, 6'4
Rogers, 6'3

With only 8 players, it's clear Kelsey needs guards and a wing. The front court is tall and five deep.

With five schollys available, Kelsey is probably looking to get 3 guards and two wings.

Now this assumes no one else leaves after Johnson. Depending on how good the transfers are, next season could be a final 4 team. I wouldn't think another year of injuries will derail the team but if there's an injury or two, the roster is deep enough to cover it.

Will we see another Hepburn, Smith or Edwards with these transfers? Or will they be more role players? Will Ament sign giving Kelsey two of the best freshmen in the land?

The possibility of a deep and talented roster playing hard with a above average hoops IQ is very likely. Next season there will be no 8 seed with 27+wins.

It's a dayum good thing Hubert Davis locked down that extension. I'm sure UNC fans are feeling the same way too.

Ian Jackson -- Miss Jackson if you're nasty -- true frosh 5 star from the Bronx -- has jumped to the portal.

Where are the Heels going? Will they be a factor next season?

Hey Ty, any murmurs out there regarding the spring portal? I saw a starting corner for Tenn plans to enter and that sure would be nice.

HVL with TCU, Peyton Verhulst with Oklahoma and Zyanna Walker with Kansas State are all former players at Louisville. They are all starters for their respective schools and all 3 are still in the tournament. I remember when Louisville was a regular in the top 25 recruiting cycle but not lately.

Right now there are 4 schools in the ACC that have incoming recruiting classes ranked in the top 25. I know several of us have raised the question why has our recruiting dropped so far off? Did we lose our best recruiters when some of the coaches left for other schools. Could it be not enough NIL money? I really wish someone in the program would address this and let the fan base know.

I don’t think it is because of CJW because I think he is one of the best Head Coaches in the country. However something has drastically changed and hopefully we can make up ground in the portal if not we are going to struggle worse next year.

What's going on everyone. Long time no see. Apologies for my absence. Although yesterday was not fun, we get to jump right into spring practice today and tomorrow! I will be live from the practice this afternoon, so I will try my best to provide the best notes and information I can while I am there.

If anyone has any questions, please do not be a stranger. Let's have a day!

Hope you all are doing alright after all the rain and severe weather lately.

4-3

Solid pitching whole game, some clutch hits!

Tied it at 2 in bottom of 9.

Tied it at 3 in the 10th.

Won 4-3!!!

Anyone know what other players we are in on? We have 4 roster spots.

This guy is an idiot and the Courier Journal giving this idiot a platform to spew his stupidity is beyond common sense. He is now saying that Louisville is a clown show for forcing Schatzel out and not doing a National search to find her replacement. Unfortunately our last 2 Presidents didn’t work out after doing a National search. Bendapudi was a joke and fortunately for us Penn State made the mistake and took her off our hands.

Then we did a national search and made the mistake and hired Schatzel. It has been reported that Schatzel created a toxic work place and quality employee’s we’re stepping down from their positions and going to other universities. The big mistake made with Schatzel was her former employer warned Louisville about her creating a toxic work environment. By promoting Provost Gerry Bradley who is qualified for the job you know what you are getting.

Rankings #16
Keep grinding boys!!

Did not give any details. Anyone hear anything about this yet?

Just not getting a break with the weather this year. 8PM first pitch with temps in the 30-low 40's with windy conditions.

Thank you Eric, for a great article, as usual!
