It is shaping up to be a busy offseason for Louisville men's basketball in the NCAA transfer portal after the firing of head coach Kenny Payne and the hiring of Pat Kelsey.

The expectation was for many of the players from the Cardinals' 2023-24 team to at least test the market while waiting for a successor to be named. In the wake of Payne's ouster, U of L athletics director Josh Heird told players to "sort through what's best for you."

With the Kelsey era now underway, Louisville's new head coach will have free rein to use the portal to shape his inaugural roster to his liking. Two of his former players at Charleston — junior guard Reyne Smith and freshman forward James Scott — were the first additions to the 2024-25 roster.

Frank Anselem-Ibe, who spent the past two seasons at Georgia, was the latest commitment May 21.

Six days earlier, Khani Rooths became Kelsey's first pledge from the high school ranks since arriving in the 502.

The portal opened March 18 and closed May 1.

Here's a taste of what Kelsey told Payne's players who were on campus the day he was introduced as the Cards' head coach — from a video the team shared to X, formerly Twitter, on March 29:

"Where do you think most people are? If there’s a few over there in the losing and there’s a few over there in the winning, where are most teams, most people, most organizations — where (are) they at? Somewhere in the middle," he said. "It's called the mountain of average; I ain't interested in that.

"I love my players; I back my players; I will do anything for them," he later added. "But I hold them accountable."

Incoming Louisville basketball transfers

Frank Anselem-Ibe (C, Georgia)

Anselem-Ibe took the 13th and final scholarship at Kelsey's disposal with his May 21 commitment.

The 6-foot-10, 215-pound center appeared in 60 of Georgia's games between the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons. Across 12 minutes per contest, he averaged 2.7 points on 53.6% shooting and 2.7 rebounds during his time with the Bulldogs.

This past season, Anselem-Ibe saw the court in 29 of UGA's 37 games (three starts) and averaged 2.6 points on 62.8% shooting and with 2.1 rebounds across 9.1 minutes per.

A native of Lagos, Nigeria, Anselem-Ibe began his collegiate career in 2020, a year ahead of schedule, at Syracuse, where he appeared in a total of 36 games (six starts) across two seasons with the Orange. Upon reclassifying as a junior at Prolific Prep, he was a three-star recruit (No. 32 center, No. 199 overall) in the 2020 cycle on the 247Sports Composite.

To this point, he's averaging 2.6 points on 56.6% shooting with three rebounds per game at the Division I level.

Anselem-Ibe's best game as a scorer came Jan. 28, 2023, when he tallied 12 points during a win over South Carolina. He's broken double digits only three times during his career. The most recent was a 10-point outing in the NIT quarterfinals against Ohio State.

As a rebounder, his high-water mark is 15. He hit that twice during his time at Syracuse.

Anselem-Ibe has one year of eligibility remaining.

Noah Waterman (F, BYU)

Noah Waterman on May 18 became the second of new Kentucky coach Mark Pope's former BYU players to commit to Louisville.

The 6-11, 220-pound senior forward started all but one of the Cougars' 34 games last season. He averaged 9.5 points per game on 45.7% shooting (57 for 154 from 3-point range) and 5.4 rebounds across 33 starts (24.1 minutes per).

Waterman's college career began in 2019 at Niagara. He appeared in seven games as a freshman for the Purple Eagles before suffering a season-ending injury and redshirting.

From there, he went to Detroit Mercy and played for former Indiana coach Mike Davis from 2020-22.

His best game to date was a 24-point, seven-rebound performance during a win over Arizona State in the Vegas Showdown last November. A month later, he recorded his first collegiate double-double with 20 points and a career-high 14 rebounds during a win over Denver.

Entering his final season of eligibility, Waterman is averaging 7.2 points on 44.5% shooting (40% from 3) and 3.5 rebounds across 76 career appearances (21.8 minutes per) at the Division I level.

Kasean Pryor (F, South Florida)

Kasean Pryor, a 6-10, 210-pound forward, committed to Louisville on May 14 following a breakout junior season at South Florida.

Appearing in all but one of the Bulls' 33 games (21 starts), the Chicago native finished the campaign third on USF in scoring. He averaged 13 points on 44.7% shooting (37 for 105 from 3) and grabbed a team-high 7.9 rebounds across 26.3 minutes per game.

Pryor's best performance of the season was when he went for 29 points and 11 boards while playing 31 minutes of a March 9 loss at Tulsa. It was one of his 12 double-doubles and one of six games in which he scored 20 or more points. He also logged 14 appearances with 10 or more rebounds.

"When he sticks to the team principles and executes the small stuff, when his natural talent comes out, he can be downright dangerous," said former teammate Chris Youngblood, who transferred to Alabama earlier in the offseason, in a story for GoUSFBulls.com.

Pryor began his collegiate career with two seasons at Boise State, then transferred to Northwest Florida State and spent a year at the junior college level. In his lone season with the Raiders, he averaged 14.8 points and eight rebounds en route to first-team NJCAA All-American honors.

"I coach Kasean harder than anybody,'' South Florida head coach Amir Abdur-Rahim told GoUSFBulls.com, "because I know what he means to our team (and) I also know where he can go.

"It's a scary word — potential — but he has so much untapped potential."

Kobe Rodgers (G, Charleston)

Kobe Rodgers, a 6-3, 180-pound junior guard from Cincinnati, committed to Louisville on May 2.

He plans to redshirt during the 2024-25 season, according to The Field of 68's Jeff Goodman, after suffering a leg injury during 13th-seeded Charleston's loss to fourth-seeded Alabama in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Rodgers appeared in 31 of the Cougars' games during the 2023-24 season, making 18 starts. Across 21.7 minutes per contest, he averaged 9.7 points on 50% shooting (18 for 40 from 3), 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals to go along with a 1.4 assist-turnover ratio.

His best game of the campaign scoring-wise was when he dropped a career-high 24 points during 23 minutes of a Jan. 18 loss to Towson. He also posted high-water marks of 10 rebounds (Dec. 18 vs. Coastal Carolina), eight assists (March 2 vs. Hofstra) and four steals (March 11 vs. Towson).

Rodgers signed with Charleston last May, after he helped Nova Southeastern cap an unbeaten season by winning its first DIII national title. He started every game of the 36-0 campaign, averaging 13.2 points per.

"Kobe is a true two-way player with phenomenal basketball instincts," said Kelsey, a fellow Cincinnati native, in a statement for Charleston Athletics upon signing Rodgers. "His athleticism and length combined with a diverse skill set allows him to play on or off the ball offensively and to guard multiple positions defensively."

Chucky Hepburn (G, Wisconsin)

A member of the Big Ten's All-Defensive team this season, Chucky Hepburn committed to Louisville while visiting the city April 25.

The 6-2, 195-pound junior from Omaha, Nebraska, has one season of eligibility remaining.

Hepburn has started all 103 games of his collegiate career to this point. In his third season at Wisconsin, he averaged 9.2 points on 42.9% shooting while going 37 for 115 (32.2%) from 3 across 33.2 minutes per contest.

Hepburn finished the 2023-24 campaign second in the Big Ten with a 3.2 assist-turnover ratio and 2.1 steals per game. Those marks ranked 14th and 37th across Division I, respectively.

He was twice an All-Big Ten honorable mention and, this season, a member of the conference's all-tournament team.

"He has the ability to take a game over and to make plays," Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard said after a win over Western Illinois in November. "That's the luxury of having a mature point guard."

For his career, Hepburn is averaging 9.8 points on 39.5% shooting (36.5 from 3), three assists against 1.3 turnovers, 2.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals across 32.1 minutes per contest.

Aboubacar Traore (F, Long Beach State)

A two-time recipient of the Big West Conference's Best Hustle Player award, Aboubacar Traore committed April 25 to playing his final season of eligibility at Louisville.

The 6-5, 195-pound Ivory Coast native has appeared in 101 games (88 starts) during his college career.

As a junior at Long Beach State, Traore averaged 12 points on 51.7% shooting (2 for 23 from 3) to go along with 8.4 rebounds across 30.8 minutes per contest. He also led the team in assists, 161 against 95 turnovers, and blocks (51).

Traore posted 12 double-doubles, and a triple-double in the Big West Tournament quarterfinal round, during the 2023-24 campaign. He was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player and received first-team all-conference honors.

For his career, Traore is averaging 10.2 points on 55.4% shooting (5 for 34 from 3), 8.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.2 turnovers, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks across 28.8 minutes per game. His 853 career boards and 114 career blocks rank third all time at Long Beach State.

"Traore is a wiry and lengthy wing/forward with a high motor who possesses elite speed and is extremely fluid on/off the ball," Mid-Major Madness' Maceo Baller wrote in an analysis of his game earlier this month. "Being a freak athlete, Aboubacar shined in the open court; but his production in almost every department is simply astonishing and exceeds the usual glue-guy projection."

Koren Johnson (G, Washington)

Koren Johnson, the reigning Pac-12 Sixth Man of the Year, committed to Louisville on April 22.

A 6-2, 175-pound Seattle native, Johnson appeared in 31 games (five starts) as a sophomore during Washington's 2023-24 season.

He averaged 11.1 points on 41.1% shooting, went 41 for 110 (37.3%) from 3 and posted a 1.97 assist-turnover ratio to go along with 2.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 24.2 minutes per contest.

Before his ouster in March, ex-Huskies head coach Mike Hopkins said Johnson was "arguably the most talented player in our program.

"He can score; he can pass," Hopkins said, according to a report from Dawgman. "It's the consistency part. He's dynamic."

Johnson's best game to date was when he scored a career-high 30 points during a Feb. 15 win over Stanford. It was the most points scored by a member of the Huskies off the bench since 2002 — and the most by an underclassman since 2017.

ESPN considered Johnson the 25th-best point guard, and the top recruit in the state of Washington, during the 2022 cycle.

Aly Khalifa (C, BYU)

Aly Khalifa, who in his lone season playing for Pope at BYU was the best passing center in the country, committed to Louisville on April 18. His other options were following his former coach to Lexington or returning to the Cougars for another go-around.

But there's a catch; the 6-11, 270-pound Egyptian plans to redshirt during the 2024-25 season.

In reporting Khalifa's entry into the NCAA transfer portal April 12, Jeff Hansen of Cougar Sports Insider, a 247Sports affiliate that covers BYU, said the junior big played on "a hurt knee that could require offseason surgery."

An Alexandria, Egypt, native, Khalifa appeared in 29 games (26 starts) for BYU during the 2023-24 season, his first with the Cougars. Combined with the two years he spent at Charlotte, he has appeared in 94 games at the Division I level, starting all but four.

As a junior, he averaged 5.7 points per game on 38.6% shooting — 29 for 92 (31.5%) from 3 — and grabbed 3.7 rebounds across 19.4 minutes per contest.

What stands out the most about Khalifa's game is his playmaking ability. It's a big reason why college hoops statistician Evan Miyakawa's formulas rated him among the 35 most-impactful players in the country on the offensive end.

Khalifa finished second on the team in assists with 115, averaging right under four per game, and turned the ball over just 32 times. That gave him the best assist-turnover ratio (3.6) in the Big 12 — and the best in the country for a center.

"We talk about processing speed all the time," Pope said during an interview with BYU Sports Nation in January. "I don't really know how to coach processing speed and make huge inroads. You can always help people a little bit; but Aly just sees this game at a different speed than all the rest of us."

J'Vonne Hadley (G, Colorado)

J'Vonne Hadley committed to spending his final year of eligibility at Louisville over Southern California on April 16.

The 6-6, 205-pound guard from St. Paul, Minnesota, started all 36 of Colorado's games this past season. He finished fourth on the team in scoring with 11.6 points on 53.8% shooting and went 20 for 48 (41.7%) from 3 across 34.3 minutes per contest.

He was also the Buffaloes' second-best rebounder, grabbing six per game to go along with 88 assists against 47 turnovers, 42 steals and 10 blocks.

The Buffaloes finished the 2023-24 campaign with a 26-11 (13-7 Pac-12) record, ranking as high as 18th in the AP Top 25 poll, and reached the NCAA Tournament for the fist time since 2021.

As a No. 10 seed, they beat Baylor in the First Four, then knocked off seventh-seeded Florida before falling to second-seeded Marquette in the Round of 32.

Hadley averaged 8.3 points on 6-for-16 (37.5%) shooting in addition to 5.3 rebounds and four assists across 37 minutes per contest during March Madness. His best performance in the Big Dance was a 16-point outing against the Gators in Round 1.

For his Colorado career, Hadley chipped in 10.2 points per game on 53.4% shooting (40.8% from 3) and averaged six rebounds, two assists against 1.2 turnovers and 1.1 steals across 31 minutes per contest. He appeared in 58 games, starting 55.

Terrence Edwards Jr. (F, James Madison)

Terrence Edwards, the Sun Belt's Player of the Year, committed to Louisville on April 3.

The 6-6, 190-pound redshirt junior from Atlanta spent the past four seasons at James Madison. In 2023-24, he led the Dukes in scoring with 17.2 points on 42.7% shooting (34.3% from 3) to go along with 4.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists against 2.4 turnovers and across 30.3 minutes per contest.

James Madison finished the campaign with a 32-4 record and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Edwards appeared in 117 games for the Dukes, starting 71, and leaves with career averages of 12.1 points on 46.2% shooting (36.8% from 3), 4.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists against 2.1 turnovers.

His best game to date was Feb. 28, when he scored a career-high 30 points during a win over Georgia State. It was one of his 32 double-digit performances of the 2023-24 season — and one of 10 games in which he scored 20 or more points.

Edwards has one year of eligibility remaining.

James Scott (F, Charleston)

Scott, a member of the Coastal Athletic Association's All-Rookie Team, committed to Louisville on March 31, one day after hitting the portal.

The 6-11, 210-pound freshman forward from Fayetteville, North Carolina, played in all 35 of Charleston’s games (four starts) this season — averaging five points on 79.2% shooting with 3.4 rebounds across 16.1 minutes per contest — and led the Cougars with 45 blocks.

"He has very good hands, touch and skill," Kelsey said in a news release after he signed Scott out of E.E. Smith High School. "He moves and runs extremely well. He is a major lob threat, blocks shots, and (affects) the game in many ways."

Scott scored a career-high 14 points during a Dec. 18 win against Coastal Carolina. He recorded a career-high five blocks in a Dec. 14 win over The Citadel.

Reyne Smith (G, Charleston)

Smith, Charleston's top scorer, was Kelsey's first Louisville commit March 30.

The 6-2, 190-pound junior Australian guard appeared in all 35 of the Cougars' games last season, making 28 starts, and received second-team All-Coastal Athletic Association honors.

He led the team with 12.8 points on 41% shooting. His 39.4% (112 for 284) clip from 3 ranked 42nd across Division I; and his 129.4 offensive rating ranked 32nd on KenPom.com.

Smith broke the Charleston record for most 3s in a game with nine during a Dec. 21 win against Saint Joseph’s. On Feb. 29, he bested that mark with 10 en route to a career-high 32 points that powered the Cougars to a victory over Campbell.

“Reyne is one of the best shooters in the country,” Kelsey told reporters afterward. “I’ve never felt what he felt tonight; I wish I could.”

Smith joined the Cougars from the Australian Institute of Sport. One of Kelsey’s assistants, Michael Cassidy, is a fellow countryman and served as an assistant on its U19 national team in the 2021 FIBA World Cup.

Outgoing Louisville basketball transfers

Hercy Miller (G, Southern Utah)

Walk-on guard Hercy Miller entered the portal April 30, a team spokesperson confirmed.

He signed with Southern Utah on July 2.

The 6-3, 175-pound junior in early February was ruled out for the remainder of Louisville's 2023-24 season due to a hip injury. He left the team to seek treatment in California.

"I feel bad, because he's worked his heart out to be part of this," Payne said. "But it's the breaks that you get in this; sometimes, things don't work out the way you plan."

The son of rapper Master P, Miller transferred from Xavier to U of L ahead of Payne's first season. He started his career at Tennessee State.

Miller appeared in 37 games (three starts) for an average of 6.5 minutes with the Cards. He amassed 59 points on 28.3% shooting, 31 rebounds, 15 assists against 16 turnovers and seven steals.

His best game was a 10-point performance during a 34-point loss at Pittsburgh on Feb. 7, 2023.

Ty-Laur Johnson (G, Wake Forest)

Ty-Laur Johnson entered the portal April 2, a team spokesperson confirmed.

On May 11, he committed to Wake Forest.

The 6-foot, 160-pound point guard from Brooklyn, New York, had a historic freshman season with the Cards; his team-high 109 assists (against 70 turnovers) were the fourth most by a first-year player since the program began tracking assists in 1969.

And, during a Feb. 3 win over Florida State, he became its first to record at least 20 points, 10 assists and five rebounds.

"From our first pickup game,” junior Brandon Huntley-Hatfield said after Johnson went for 27 points, 11 assists and six rebounds against the Seminoles, “I knew he was that boy.”

Johnson appeared in 30 games (eight starts) during the 2023-24 season. He finished sixth on the team in scoring with 8.7 points per game on 37.4% shooting (12 for 26 from 3) to go along with 3.6 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 23.1 minutes per contest.

His 31% assist rate ranked 51st in the country, per KenPom.com; and his 3.8% steal rate in ACC play ranked third in the league.

Johnson did, however, stir up some drama. After a Nov. 29 win over Bellarmine, Payne said the point guard “didn't know if he wanted to play” because he didn’t have the proper pair of compression pants.

"We didn't have the tights that he wanted, that we've never had for him, and he decided, 'I don't feel like I can go,’” Payne said. “That's what young people do.

"But he figured it out in the second half. He accepted the fact that we didn't have the tights that we've never had for him and he played. And he played well."

Johnson at one point was committed to play at Memphis. He was the final player to join Payne’s 2023 recruiting class and the last to arrive on campus after uncertainty surrounding his eligibility status.

But he finished the year as Louisville’s first freshman since 2010 to have at least 10 games with five or more assists.

Emmanuel Okorafor (F, Seton Hall)

Emmanuel Okorafor entered the portal March 30, a team spokesperson confirmed.

He committed to Seton Hall on May 22.

The 6-9, 220-pound sophomore forward from Nigeria was a late addition to Payne’s inaugural roster, joining the team in January 2023 from NBA Academy Africa.

He appeared in just five games, however, then missed the rest of the season due to an ankle injury.

In 2023-24, Okorafor averaged 2.4 points (48 total) on 64.5% shooting and 2.2 rebounds (43 total) across seven minutes per contest. His longest stint of the season was 14 minutes during a Jan. 30 loss at Clemson.

For his U of L career, Okorafor totaled 70 points on 55.8% shooting and 64 rebounds.

His career high in points was eight, in this year’s season opener and his Cards debut; Jan. 28, 2023, at Notre Dame.

Brandon Huntley-Hatfield (F, N.C. State)

Louisville's leading rebounder, Brandon Huntley-Hatfield, hit the portal after Kelsey's hiring, a team spokesperson confirmed March 29.

On April 4, he became the second Cards player off the board by committing to N.C. State.

Huntley-Hatfield called his love for U of L "unwavering" in a statement posted to X, formerly Twitter, when he entered the portal. But he also said it was time to "explore new possibilities."

"I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for everything you have done for me," he told fans. "Your support has played a significant role in my growth as a person and as an athlete."

The 6-10, 240-pound junior was Payne's first commit as Louisville's head coach, joining the program after one season at Tennessee.

Huntley-Hatfield started every game of the 2023-24 season and finished second on the team in scoring, averaging 12.9 points per game on 56.7% shooting (9 for 21 from 3) to go along with 8.4 rebounds across 30.8 minutes per contest.

The Clarksville, Tennessee, native was one of just seven ACC players to rank among the conference's top 20 in scoring and rebounding during league play. Eight of his 10 career double-doubles occurred this season; and he became the first Cards player to notch three in a row since 2019 when he did so back in December.

Huntley-Hatfield scored a career-high 29 points during a Feb. 3 win against Florida State and grabbed a career-high 14 boards during a Nov. 10 loss to Chattanooga. He finished the season on an 11-game streak of scoring in double figures and had 21 total throughout the campaign.

Tre White (G/F, Illinois)

Tre White, like Huntley-Hatfield, entered the portal after Kelsey was named coach; a team spokesperson confirmed March 29.

He committed to Illinois, this year's Big Ten Tournament champion, on April 9.

The 6-7, 205-pound guard/forward from Dallas, Texas, appeared in 29 games (26 starts) during his lone season with Louisville. He transferred in after being named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team at Southern California.

White finished fourth on U of L in scoring, averaging 12.3 points per game on 45.6% shooting (23 for 77 from 3), and second in rebounds (5.9) across 31.2 minutes per contest. He totaled 39 assists against 53 turnovers, 24 steals and 12 blocks.

His best game with the Cards came Jan. 30, when he tallied career highs in points (29) and rebounds (14) during a loss at Clemson. He finished the season with four double-doubles.

Mike James (G/F, N.C. State)

Mike James entered the portal March 25, a team spokesperson confirmed.

He committed to N.C. State, linking up with Huntley-Hatfield again, on April 23.

The 6-5, 200-pound redshirt sophomore guard/forward was the only player to start every game of the Payne era after missing the 2021-22 season due to a torn Achilles tendon.

“I'd like to thank Louisville for these past few years," James said in a statement to On3. "I have grown as a player and a person thanks to my coaches and this community. I wouldn’t be the player I am without you all. I am forever grateful. With that being said, I will be entering the transfer portal to explore other opportunities for my basketball career. Thank you, Card Nation."

James finished third on the 2023-24 team in scoring (12.6 points per game) on 39.6% shooting (34% from 3). He also averaged five rebounds and 1.5 assists across 33.3 minutes per contest.

“If you have eight (of) Mike James, you don’t lose," Payne said Nov. 6, after the Orlando, Florida, native’s 25-point, 10-rebound double-double in a season-opening win over UMBC.

"His will, his fight — it's not about his talent; it’s about his work ethic, his professionalism, coming in every day, just fighting to get a win and fighting to get better."

James had his best performance in a Louisville uniform Jan. 10, when he dropped a career-high 26 points during the only road victory of Payne’s tenure, 80-71 at Miami. That came at the tail end of a 10-game, double-digit scoring streak.

After the season ended at the ACC Tournament, James described his time with the Cards as "a roller coaster."

“I feel like I’ve experienced everything bad that can happen in college basketball,” he said. “It kind of affected me a little bit. I’ve just got to try to take this and learn from it and know that I can get through anything. All this stuff just made me stronger.”

For his Louisville career, James averaged 11.3 points on 42.1% shooting (34.8% from 3) with 4.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 64 starts (32.1 minutes per).

Skyy Clark (G, UCLA)

Skyy Clark, Louisville's leading scorer, entered the portal March 25, a team spokesperson confirmed.

On April 3, he committed to UCLA; becoming the first member of the 2023-24 team to find a new home

"I'd like to thank Louisville for this experience and appreciate their trust in me as a leader of this program," Clark said in a statement to On3. "I grew both as a player and person during my time under Kenny Payne and his staff. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity that was given to me. As the Cardinals search for their next head coach, I feel it's my responsibility to keep my options open as I consider what’s best for my basketball future."

The 6-3, 205-pound sophomore guard, who transferred in from Illinois, averaged 13.2 points per game on 41.2% shooting (35.3% from 3). He also finished second on the team in assists with 87 (against 88 turnovers) across 31.9 minutes per contest.

Clark appeared in 29 games (28 starts) during his first full collegiate season. He missed one game in early February due to a hip injury; then, a week later, he suffered but played through a broken rib during a win over Georgia Tech. He wasn't sidelined long, however; and in his first game back, he went for 18 points and grabbed a season-high eight rebounds during a loss to Notre Dame.

To end the campaign, Clark dropped a career-high 36 points against N.C. State at the ACC Tournament — the most scored by a Cards player in a conference tournament game since Russ Smith’s 42-point performance against Houston on March 14, 2014.

Danilo Jovanovich (F, Milwaukee)

Danilo Jovanovich entered the portal March 20, a team spokesperson confirmed.

He committed to his hometown school, Milwaukee, on April 30.

The 6-8, 220-pound sophomore forward was one of Payne's three portal acquisitions last offseason, although he did not add much by way of Division I experience having appeared in just one game as a freshman at Miami.

He played a bigger role with the Cards than he did on the Hurricanes' scout team during their run to the 2023 Final Four; but his production was still limited.

Jovanovich did not log a point until a Dec. 21 game against Kentucky. He failed to score in 12 of his 20 appearances (five starts) while averaging only 8.3 minutes per.

In total, he contributed 24 points on 9-for-25 shooting, 22 rebounds, five assists, four turnovers, two blocks and two steals. His best performance of the season was a career-high five points during a Jan. 20 loss at Wake Forest.

Dennis Evans (C, Grand Canyon)

Dennis Evans entered the portal March 19, a team spokesperson confirmed.

He committed to Grand Canyon on April 26.

In January, Louisville said the 7-1, 215-pound freshman center would, indefinitely, "not be medically cleared to compete" at the program due to an undisclosed diagnosis.

247Sports' Eric Bossi reported Tuesday he'll be "good to go at his next stop."

Evans, a top-five center in the 2023 recruiting cycle, played in seven games (five starts) for the Cards before being sidelined with what the team described as a shoulder injury. His last appearance was a five-minute shift during a Nov. 29 win over Bellarmine.

When the team adjourned for a holiday break in late December, Evans went home to Riverside, California. But he didn't return to campus when the calendar flipped to 2024 and was absent from the bench during a Jan. 3 game at Virginia.

The next day, U of L released a statement saying Evans wasn't medically cleared to compete "moving forward." In a follow-up statement, a team spokesperson said the athletics department did not "foresee his status changing with the institution."

He was not spotted at any of the team's final 20 games of the season.

Evans totaled 11 points on 5-for-8 shooting with six rebounds and five blocks across 64 minutes (9.1 per game). Seven of those points came during U of L's season-opening win vs. UMBC, in which he played a career-high 16 minutes.

JJ Traynor (F, DePaul)

The lone senior on Louisville's 2023-24 roster, JJ Traynor, entered the portal March 20, a team spokesperson confirmed.

He committed to DePaul and former Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann on April 15.

The 6-8, 190-pound Bardstown native, whose father, Jason Osborne, also played for the Cards, has at least one year of eligibility remaining and may be getting another after applying for a medical redshirt.

Traynor suffered a shoulder injury while warming up for a Dec. 9 game at DePaul. He missed a month's worth of games but appeared to be nearing a return when he dressed out for a Jan. 3 road trip to Virginia. Two days later, however, he reaggravated the injury during practice and had to undergo season-ending surgery.

"The season has definitely been very rough for me," Traynor said in early March, by which point he had started the rehab process. "It didn't go as I planned, but I've learned a lot; and I'm just taking this time to learn some more, to support my teammates and continue to grow."

Before the injury, Traynor was contributing 10.1 points per game on 51.6% shooting (36.8% from 3) with 4.6 rebounds across 25.4 minuteS per contest. He tallied a season-high 20 points and nine boards during a Nov. 26 win against New Mexico State.

In total, Traynor appeared in 70 games (19 starts) across four years at U of L. He averaged 5.7 points and three rebounds per contest.

Kaleb Glenn (F, Florida Atlantic)

Louisville native Kaleb Glenn entered the portal March 18, a team spokesperson confirmed.

The 6-6, 205-pound former Male High School star committed to Florida Atlantic on April 25.

Glenn appeared in every game of the Cards' 2023-24 season as a freshman. He did not score his 10th point of the campaign until a Dec. 17 win over Pepperdine but came on strong down the stretch, starting 10 of the final 12 contests.

"It meant a lot coming in and playing for the University of Louisville, especially being from here," Glenn said after the season ended at the ACC Tournament. "I built a lot of good relationships with these guys."

Glenn finished the season averaging 3.9 points on 48.6% shooting with 3.6 rebounds across 14.9 minutes per contest.

Across the final 10 games, he scored 15 or more points three times, including a career-high 17 during a Feb. 17 loss at Pittsburgh. A week prior, he posted his first collegiate double-double with 15 points and 13 rebounds during a win over Georgia Tech.

"I made some leaps from when I first came here to now," Glenn said. "I feel like I learned a lot, and there's a lot I can apply going forward in my career."

Curtis Williams (G/F, Georgetown)

Curtis Williams entered the portal March 18, a team spokesperson confirmed.

He committed to Georgetown on April 20.

The 6-5, 205-pound freshman forward from Detroit appeared in every game of the season, making four starts. He averaged 5.3 points on 31.7% shooting (28.7% from 3) with 1.3 rebounds and 0.6 assists across 17.7 minutes per contest.

"As the season went on, the game slowed down for me," Williams said at the ACC Tournament. "Seeing different reads, knowing time and score, I feel like I grew in those areas."

Williams scored a career-high 19 points during a Feb. 3 win over Florida State. It was one of his six double-digit performances of the season.

Over the final 10 games, he averaged 2.2 points on 5-for-36 shooting.
