When you realize the personality of head coach Pat Kelsey, it is no longer shocking that the Louisville Cardinals were the most unexpected program throughout the collegiate basketball season.
Everyone from the previous year had left, so when Kelsey took over, the roster was barren. As soon as he got to school, this put the head coach in a challenging situation, but he promptly used the transfer site to get the guys he was looking for.
In his first year, the Cardinals made the NCAA Tournament, however they were unfairly ranked after losing only six games during the regular season.
“Man, so, first of all, I just want to express how fortunate we are and delighted we are to be playing in the national tournament,” Kelsey said on KY Sports Radio. “To tell the truth, it hurt a little bit when that came up when we were watching the selection program.”
Given how much Kelsey has improved the program in just one year, it is anticipated that he and his team will begin the new year rated in the top ten for the first time in more than ten years.
Another indication of how well the head coach has done in his brief tenure at Louisville is the increase he received this week. Mikel Brown, Kelsey’s top high school commit, is making a name for himself at the Nike Hoop Summit as one of the top guards, and Kelsey is doing well in the recruiting process.
Mikel Brown, who is headed to Louisville, is having a tremendous week at the Nike Hoop Summit and is unquestionably the top guard prospect on either team. is extremely talented both inside and outside the arc, can pass, and gets anywhere he wants on the court, according to Jonathan Givony.
Brown has already received the keys for the upcoming season, and even before he sets foot on campus, he continues to demonstrate why he is deserving of that honor.
