2. Reach- Nick Davidson

The 6-foot-10, 238-pound forward is transferring out of Nevada and looking for a new home. Louisville Cardinals were one of the 30 teams that reached out to Nick Davidson as soon as he broke the news that he would test the transfer portal.

Davidson is a perfect fit with Pat Kelsey, as the forward is a stretch four who can shoot from the outside. He averaged 15.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists while shooting an impressive 50.0 percent from the floor and 37.1 percent from downtown. The Cardinals have been reported that they are set to spend up to $10 million in the portal this year, and Davidson might be the star player they go all-in on.

He is ranked as the No. 8 best player in the transfer portal by On3. He secured eight games last year with 20 points or more, including his season-high 26-point performance against Sam Houston. In consecutive games, he also scored 25 points last year against Air Force and Fresno State.

His best game from beyond the arc came against New Mexico, when he splashed four threes on eight tries. The star transfer from Nevada is a perfect target for Pat Kelsey and should be a player they heavily recruit this spring.
