2. G Kobe Rodgers

Kobe Rodgers transferred over to Louisville with Pat Kelsey and while many fans are all-in on Rodgers, he might not be all-in on the Cardinals. The Charleston transfer will now be behind Mikel Brown Jr., Adrian Wooley, Ryan Conwell, and Isaac McKneely in the rotation. He is the No. 2 option for ball handler, but the Cardinals' three transfer portal additions are all labeled as combo guards and can all handle the rock.

The fan base wants Rodgers to return, as he quickly becomes a fan favorite, even in his redshirt season. However, it seems reasonable for the guard to think about hitting the transfer portal as the Cardinal's backcourt is now loaded with elite skill, causing his minutes to dwindle next year.

Entering Thursday morning, the talk was about how elite Rodgers is and how commonly forgotten, but now, entering Friday morning, the talk quickly became whether he is safe. The fan-favorite averaged 9.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists while shooting 50 percent from the floor and 45 percent from downtown.
