On March 28, Conwell became the fifth Xavier player to enter the NCAA’s transfer portal after Sean Miller left to become the head coach at Texas.

Conwell, an Indianapolis native, visited the Indiana Hoosiers on Monday, according to 247Sports.

Conwell averaged 16.5 points per game last season and was a third-team All-Big East selection over 34 starts. He ranked third in the Big East in three-point shooting percentage (41.2%) and scored a career-high 38 points in Xavier’s loss to Marquette in the Big East Tournament.

Louisville will be Conwell’s fourth school in as many years after dealing with a head coaching change in each of his first three collegiate seasons.

Louisville finished 27-8 overall and 18-2 in the ACC in the first season under Kelsey. The Cardinals made the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2019 and lost in the first round to No. 9 Creighton. Louisville ranked No. 30 in KenPom in offensive efficiency but just No. 222 in 3-point shooting. With Conwell, the Cardinals add one of the transfer portal’s top perimeter weapons.
