The Louisville basketball program has undergone a number of changes in the transfer portal following the departure of Kenny Payne. After hiring Charleston’s Pat Kelsey as the new head coach, the Cardinals have now made a massive splash in the portal. James Madison star Terrence Edwards Jr. has decided to join Louisville, per Jeff Goodman.

‘Louisville has landed JMU transfer Terrence Edwards Jr., source told @TheFieldOf68. Edwards averaged 17.2 points this past season. Big pickup for new coach Pat Kelsey and the Cardinals in the rebuild.’

This is a monster move for the Louisville basketball program as they begin a new era with Kelsey as the head coach.

This comes on the heels of Charleston players Reyne Smith and James Scott coming to Louisville to join Kelsey, but Edwards is easily the biggest addition for the new Cardinals head coach.

The transfer portal has been busy for the Louisville basketball program as they saw 11 players decide to leave and have zero scholarship players on the roster currently. On top of that, the only returning player on the roster is walk-on Hercy Miller, and to make things worse, they have no recruits for the Class of 2024.

With the Kenny Payne era taking a turn for the worst for this program, Kelsey has a tough job of getting them back to a blueblood of college basketball. But, landing a star such as Edwards is certainly a step in the right direction.
