Somto Cyril

With Louisville in dire need of a physical center who can impact the game on both ends, the Georgia transfer Somto Cyril appears to be someone Louisville fans want Kelsey to go after. He won’t be cheap, but the 6-foot-11, 260-pound 4-star transfer is the athletic center Louisville basketball has been missing.

Louisville must act fast as perfect Sananda Fru replacement hits Transfer Portal

He impacts the game on both ends of the floor, as on offense, he is dominant in the pick-and-roll, physical when he catches the ball in the paint, and an elite lob threat. And on defense, he is the rim protector that Louisville fans have been begging for, leading the SEC in blocks with 74 total blocks and 2.2 blocks per game.

The Georgia transfer went on to make the 2026 SEC All-Defensive Team, averaging 9.3 points and 5.4 rebounds per game and shooting the ball incredibly well at 75.9 percent from the field. He now ranks No. 10 overall in the portal and No. 2 among centers.
