Recently, Louisville and Kentucky both hired new head coaches to lead their basketball programs, which is bringing many changes. The most prominent being that each team will be made up of entirely new players for next season. The majority of the players that Louisville’s Pat Kelsey and Kentucky’s Mark Pope are getting are coming from the transfer portal.
The transfer portal is a hot topic in college athletics recently. It allows any college athlete to transfer to a different university and be immediately eligible to play in the next season. Both Kelsey and Pope are navigating through this insanity in an attempt to build tournament-level teams in year one at their new school. Here are the top players who have committed to Louisville and Kentucky through the transfer portal that all fans should know.
