Live Tracker: What 2026 Transfers Has Louisville Reached Out To?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - While year two under head coach Pat Kelsey didn't live up to the preseason expectations, it was still a successful campaign. The Cardinals finished with a 24-11 overall record, and were able to capture their first NCAA Tournament win since 2017.

But now, it's roster construction season. Louisville not only graduates five players form their 2025-26 roster, but they have lost another five players to the portal. Considering they do not have any commitments in their 2026 high school recruiting class, their 11 open roster spots for the 2026-27 season will have to be filled primarily from players out of the transfer portal.

So who are the players that Louisville is targeting in the portal? Below is the list of transfers that UofL has reached out to, either confirmed by Louisville Cardinals On SI or reported by other outlets.

Of note: the players below range from basic communication between the Cardinals and their camp, to genuine targets. Reaching out to a transfer does not necessarily insinuate significant or prolonged interest on Louisville's behalf.
