What Jersey Numbers Will Louisville’s Players Wear in 2026-27?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Louisville men’s basketball program still needs to add a couple walk-ons, but otherwise, their roster for the 2026-27 season – year three under head coach Pat Kelsey – is complete.

It’s a roster that only sports two returners after 11 players departed the the program in some form or fashion following the end of the 2025-26 campaign. However, Kelsey and Co. were hard at work on the roster construction front in the weeks following the end of the season, bringing in a six-man transfer portal class and three-man high school recruiting class.
