Following another disappointing season for Louisville men’s basketball and the removal of Kenny Payne as the program’s head coach, a number of players from the roster were expected to enter the transfer portal. That movement began on Monday, March 18, the opening day of the college basketball transfer portal. It continued, player by player, until April 2 when point guard Ty-Laur Johnson became the final scholarship player from last season to enter the portal.
