Louisville’s backcourt should be a ton of fun to watch next season.
Kennesaw State transfer Adrian Wooley, the No. 3 overall player in the transfer portal per 247Sports, has committed to Pat Kelsey and the Cardinals. The 6-foot-5, 180-pound lefty guard from Tuscaloosa (AL) averaged 18.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game for the Owls in 2024-25. He’s now set to be a Cardinal and will pair with five-star class of 2025 guard and McDonald’s All-American Mikel Brown Jr.

Wooley was one of the most touted players in the portal, and Louisville won a recruiting battle against his home-state schools Alabama and Auburn, as well as a Blue Blood in Kansas. Wooley was one of the best freshman in the country in 2024-25. His 18.8 points per game was the fifth-most by any freshman in college basketball, behind names like Dylan Harper and Cooper Flagg. He was Conference USA’s Freshman of the Year and earned a spot on the All-CUSA First Team. His pairing with Brown could give Louisville one of the best backcourts in the country for the 2025-26 season. Louisville also has a commitment from German power forward Sananda Fru, who will join the two guards as a newcomer on next season’s roster.
