While this news may be mostly inconsequential for Louisville basketball next year, it is news about a returning player for next season. Walk on Aiden McCool will be returning for another season in 2024-25, as he posted he would be returning on his instagram.

McCool did have one of the more exciting moments last season where the Cardinals went 8-23. As the last 2 regular season points for the Cardinals were scored by Aiden McCool on his senior day when he shot 2 free throws at the end of a home loss against Boston College, which was a feel good moment for fans in the KFC Yum Center and Aiden McCool as well.

McCool coming back likely will have no real effect on the overall quality of the roster, but it is cool to see a walk on like this come back another season
