1. Conwell was the player fans were begging for

Ask, and you shall receive. We asked on X who the Cardinals fans wanted to land after Wooley signed, and the glaring response was Ryan Conwell. This lethal shooter was the main target for the fanbase. It was a battle between McKneely and Conwell, but the Xavier transfer reportedly visited the campus yesterday, and the fans were riding high.

Louisville basketball is back and better than ever, and Pat Kelsey has this fanbase stoked for the 2025-26 season. Kelsey is the man of the people and is answering everyone's prayers. The Cardinals fans are already counting the days to the first game and will pack KFC Yum! Center.

The Cardinals fans are one of the most passionate fan bases in the country and they proved that last year. Louisville basketball fans were seen packing the hotel's and Rupp Arena for the NCAA Tournament matchup vs Creighton.

Something to keep an eye on now is Nate Ament's commitment date. Louisville just landed two massive guards from the transfer portal, and it could be a crucial recruiting strategy to land the No. 4 overall prospect in the class of 2025. Ament postponed his commitment date as he was expected to announce yesterday, April 1. Ament is the Cardinals' missing piece as the power forward is precisely the player Louisville will now shift their focus to.

For all the latest on Louisville basketball's offseason, stay tuned.
