Will there be more transfers?

At this point in the rebuild, you just have to trust the staff. Any departures at this point have to be taken with a grain of salt, and any additions need to be welcomed with open arms. At this point in the offseason, you either need to be bought in or look somewhere else.

When speaking on the plethora of transfers that have taken place this season for the Cards, Satterfield shared his thoughts and how his staff handles such things:

"“I knew we were going to have some of that. Maybe they don’t fit scheme wise what you want to do or culture wise and (don’t) want to be part of the team. And there’s some spots where there are some guys that wanted to get into the two-deep and didn’t do it and want to go play somewhere else. What we’ve done, we’ve been open and honest with those guys where we stand. We’re supporting those guys and trying to help them find their way. There is no animosity that these things have happened.”"

One of Louisville’s biggest issues last season was effort and the culture. We can’t have guys doing things the old way anymore. However, I wouldn’t really expect many more departures, if any. It seems like we’re at the point now where players have figured out whether or not this new way of doing things, and this scheme is for them or not. If it wasn’t going to be for them, they have already left by now.
