LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The first roster management domino for the Louisville men’s basketball program has reportedly fallen.
True freshman guard/forward Curtis Williams has entered his name into the transfer portal, according to 24/7 High School Hoops.
Williams is the first Louisville player to enter the transfer portal this offseason, doing so just six days following the end of the Cardinals’ 2023-24 season. Monday marked the first day of the 45-day spring transfer window.
Playing in all 32 games with four starts, the 6-foot-5, 205-pound wing showed flashes of potential as a true scoring threat, but was also very inconsistent with his shooting.
Williams averaged 5.3 points per game and cracked double figures six times, but shot just 31.7 percent from the field and 28.7 percent on three-point attempts. He also tallied just 42 rebounds and 20 assists on the season.
The Detroit, Mich. native came to Louisville as a four-star prospect in the Class of 2023 according to the 247Sports Composite, choosing the Cards over Florida State, Providence, Alabama, Xavier and others. He ranked as high as the No. 21 small forward and the No 74 prospect in the cycle, per Rivals.
He is not expected to be the last Louisville player to enter the transfer portal. The Cardinals finished their 2023-24 campaign with an overall record of just 8-24 and 3-17 in ACC play, resulting in the dismissal second-year head coach Kenny Payne.
