Despite being a completely new roster, the Cardinals have shown early that maturity will be their strength in the 2024-25 season.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - As Pat Kelsey would put it, the last two-plus month have been "hectic." And honestly, that might be a little bit of an understatement.
On Thursday, Kelsey finally had a little bit of time to breathe, talking to various local media about his first two months on the job.. "We've been a bit crazy. But here this week, with all the players arriving for the first time, it's settled down a little bit. You're able to take a deep breath and focus on what you'd like to think you do best and what you love the most. And that's coach guys up, put your team together. So, it's been awesome.
While having to replace an entire roster is a dubious undertaking, on one hand, it allowed Kelsey a clean slate to construct a roster to his complete liking. With some assistance from 502Circle, Louisville's NIL collective, not only was he able to put together a roster that fits his style, he brought in an extremely talented crop of players. Signing 12 D1 transfers and one high school prospect, the Cardinals' portal class ranks as the No.
"I think a hallmark of this team, and part of its true identity, is the maturity," Kelsey said. "We have a bunch of old heads, guys that have logged a ton of minutes at a high level of college basketball. And not only have logged a bunch of minutes, but they come from winning programs. I think in today's day and age of college basketball, it's important to try to get old and stay old, as they like to say. But these guys are about what we're about.
