Louisville has parted ways with men’s basketball head coach Kenny Payne, who led the Cardinals to a 12-52 record over his two seasons at the helm.

Jeff Goodman of Field of 68 was the first to report the news on Tuesday after the Cardinals’ season ended with a 94-85 loss to North Carolina State in the first round of the ACC tournament.

ESPN’s Pete Thamel and John Fanta of Fox Sports were among those who later confirmed the news.

The Cardinals went 5-35 in ACC play over the past two years, posting last-place league finishes each time.

The 2024 transfer portal is officially open, and thanks to Pat Kelsey and the new found energy, the Louisville basketball program has already seen themselves attached to a plethora of players.

All 12 of last year’s scholarship players have hit the portal, with a majority; if not all; expected to find homes elsewhere. Kelsey has brought with him two former Cougars in sharpshooter Smith and a high-upside freshman, James Scott.

After a commitment from former Sun Belt Player of the Year, Terrence Edwards, that leaves this new staff with 10 scholarship spots to fill, via the transfer portal and late signees in the class of 2024, so let’s take a look at who the Cards have landed and reached out to.

There’s no better name to start with than this year’s reigning Sun Belt Player of the Year, Terrence Edwards Jr.

The 6-6 wing lead the Dukes to an incredible 32-4 record last season, including an upset win over 5-seed Wisconsin in the Round of 64.

Edwards was one of the best players on one of the best Mid-Major programs in all of college basketball scoring 17.2 Points, 4.4 Rebounds, and 3.4 Assists per game.
