Pat Kelsey has been the Louisville head coach for just over 48 hours, and while a staff has not even put together yet, Louisville got their first transfer commit of the season.

College of Charleston junior transfer Reyne Smith committed to the Cardinals earlier today, and marks the first player that Kelsey has officially brought to Louisville. Smith averaged 12.8 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.7 assists last season for Charleston. While shooting 41% from the field and 39.4% from the perimeter, and making 112 threes overall last season. Smith also made 90 three pointers in his freshman year, which was the record for triples made by freshman at Charleston at the time.

Pat Kelsey is just getting started constructing the roster at Louisville and Smith marks the beginning of it. Smith likely has followed Kelsey from Charleston to Louisville, but that has no bearing on the quality of player that Smith is.
