Louisville basketball could be targeting a graduate transfer or two for the 2019-20 season, and we have five that would round out next year’s squad nicely.

Much has been made this week of Louisville basketball’s potential for success and a possible deep run in 2020. The Cards return a core of solid, experienced players who will be entering year two under coach Chris Mack. Louisville also brings in one of their best recruiting classes ever, including 3 or 4 newcomers who are almost certain to be instant-impact guys.

However, there is still a lot of mystery as to just how good UofL could be this coming year. As it stands, there are three reasons to believe that the Cards could be searching for at least one more player to join the 2019-20 Cardinals.

  1. Would-be junior Jordan Nwora has been rising up some draft boards and, along with rising redshirt senior Steven Enoch, will test the NBA waters over the next couple of months.
  2. Louisville reached out to grad transfers prior to the season ending and Enoch and Nwora announcing their intentions to work out for NBA teams.
  3. Rising senior VJ King just put his name in the NBA draft. Although he is unlikely to get drafted, it would be a shock to no one if he chose to get feedback and transfer to play elsewhere for his final season.

Since we definitely know that there is interest from the coaching staff, and there is at least a chance the Cards lose a player, let’s take a look at five guys to watch out for during the offseason as potential graduate transfers.
