C Efton Reid - Wake Forest

2024-25 Statistics: 34 G, 8.8 PPG, 6.6 RPG, 1.0 APG, 1.0 BPG, 54.8% FG

Efton Reid entered the transfer portal this past week. The former Gonzaga and LSU player is now transferring out of ACC rival Wake Forest. The Cardinals fans are asking for an elite center with size who can dominate the paint, and Reid is one of the best options available. He is currently the best center on the market, ranked as the No. 9 center and No. 81 overall.

It would be an easy transition for Reid as he would still be playing in the ACC. Last year against the Cardinals, he secured a double-double of 11 points, 13 rebounds, and three blocks. The Cardinals have not contacted Reid, but if Pryor does not return, Louisville needs to start thinking of a plan B.
