Last night, the Florida Gators secured the 2025 National Championship, marking their third title since 2006. Louisville basketball is trending toward being one of the nation's favorites to win next year, but they still have some glaring holes in their lineup.
The Cardinals just heard from J'Vonne Hadley and now are waiting to hear from Kasean Pryor about whether he plans on returning. Head coach Pat Kelsey was expected to spend nearly $10 million this offseason. After Louisville basketball's three massive splashes from the transfer portal, they should still have a significant amount remaining.
Louisville addressed their shooting concerns early in the first couple weeks of the transfer portal, and now fans are asking Kelsey and his staff to address the forward position. The Cardinals forward position will be highlighted by Hadley and Sananda Fru, the 6-foot-11 commit from Germany.
Louisville basketball's 2025 transfer portal wish list
So, with just two weeks remaining in the portal, this article highlights every player Louisville has reached out to who is still available, in addition to some dream targets that they must reach out to to solidify themselves as National Championship contenders.
This article is organized by position and ranking. It starts with point guard and then moves to shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center. All positions are in order of their rankings by 247Sports. So, to break it down, if someone wants to view guards, they are on pages one through four. The small forwards are listed on pages five through seven. The power forwards are on pages eight through 10, and the centers are on pages 11 and 12.
So, here are 15 players that are on Louisville basketball's 2025 transfer portal wish list.
PG Martin Somerville - UMass Lowell
2024-25 Statistics: 32 G, 13.6 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 3.7 APG, 1.5 SPG, 42% FG, 2.3 3PM, 40.5% 3PT
Martin Somerville is a point guard transfer out of UMass Lowell. If the Cardinals can keep Kobe Rodgers, the position will be filled, but Kelsey and his staff did reach out to Somerville early on in the transfer portal.
Somerville is the No. 41 point guard ranked by 247Sports and is ranked No. 221 overall. He stands at 6-foot-1 and was a solid shooter last season as he made 2.3 3-pointers per game at an impressive split of 40.5 percent from the 3-point line.
