Great signin Louisville basketball Recruiting had coach has quickback to announced the signing of new Superstar player due to the….
He wasn’t their first choice or their second and maybe not even their third choice, but on Thursday the Louisville Cardinals officially announced Pat Kelsey as their head coach.
Kelsey comes to Louisville after three seasons and two NCAA Tournament appearances at the College of Charleston.
Frankly, of those on their board, Kelsey might have been the best pick. He can coach. He can recruit and acquire talent. And, he has an energetic and big personality which is an added bonus for a job like Louisville.
After weeks of this wild search, it’s imperative that Kelsey doesn’t follow suit and treat the portal like the athletic department treated their search. These next five weeks will be crucial for Kelsey and how quickly he can turn this program and roster around to compete in the ACC in year one.
With its rich history, passionate fanbase, and resources, the Louisville basketball program is a sleeping giant in this NIL era. There are already rumors swirling about how much the Cardinals have in its collective. If the rumors are true, then Louisville arguably has the biggest collective in the country. With that comes loads of opportunity, but also will require careful management and vision in how Kelsey and his staff build out this roster.
What is most important for Kelsey is not doing what his predecessor did.
