DeSean Goode - Robert Morris

DeSean Goode is one of the top-ranked wings in the portal right now. The Robert Morris transfer would be a perfect fit for what Louisville needs, as he has a similar game to Hadley. He can shoot the 3-pointer when needed or wide open, but he likes to play in the paint and play physical.

The 6-foot-8, 210-pound forward is listed as a power forward, but if the Cardinals can keep Rooths at power forward and move Goode to small forward, this starting lineup already has size and physicality it missed last season. Goode averaged 15.2 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game last season and shot it from beyond the arc at a high rate, making 57.1 percent of his 63 attempts.

The 4-star transfer made 62.9 percent of his field goals in 2025-26, and with Louisville in need of a player who can flash to the paint and play physical basketball, he emerges as one of the perfect targets early on. Goode ranks as high as No. 11 overall in the portal and No. 4 among power forwards.
