Tracking Louisville men’s basketball departures in the transfer portal

Tracking the departures and eventual new locations from the players off Louisville’s 2023-24 roster

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.

Tre White committed to Illinois on April 9. JJ Traynor has elected to use his extra year of eligibility and committed DePaul on April 15. Curtis Williams landing spot is Georgetown, he announced on April 20. Mike James will stay in the ACC by transferring to NC State, while Kaleb Glenn is headed to FAU.

In October of last year, the Division I Council approved changes to the NCAA Transfer Portal for basketball, reducing the time period from 60 consecutive days to 45 consecutive days. According to the NCAA, 61% of athletes who hit the portal did so within the first 30 days.
