4. Realistic- Brock Harding
The Cardinals' most realistic target at the moment is sharpshooter Brock Harding from Iowa. The 6-foot, 162-pound guard announced last week that Louisville is a finalist for his top six schools as the Cardinals battle it out with Oklahoma State, South Carolina, TCU, Texas Tech, and Washington.
The Iowa transfer averaged 8.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists while shooting 45.4 percent from the court and 39.8 percent from the 3-point line. Harding had five games last season with Iowa when he made three or more three-pointers in a single game. On3 has him ranked as the No. 31 best player in the transfer portal and the No. 8 best point guard in the portal.
Harding would be a great piece to play alongside Mikel Brown Jr. or come off the bench and provide great bench minutes. The Cardinals lacked depth last season, and Harding would be a great piece to help this team out in March.
He has excellent potential to grow under Pat Kelsey as last season, his best game, he earned a double-double against Utah State, where he scored 20 points and dropped 10 dimes while shooting 69 percent from the floor and 40 percent from downtown.
