You gotta love that guy Deuce. I am a UL fan but not close to the fan you are and I am excited about this hire. I will be shocked if he doesn't have UL winning next year. He will find a way.

You have to love coaches who "Own it"...he owned the floor, he owned the fact he was 3rd choice (probably lower)...he owned the energy.  It looks U of L got what they needed with a shot of energy.

The man looks like he could go out and play 40 minutes right now.   Maybe he will demand the same level of relative fitness from his players.   There is no reason a team should not be in shape.

Yeah, that joke was funny 30 years ago with I was in Middle School. Loved the energy but that's a weak one haha

He made up for it with the crack about him being his wife's third choice, but it working out.  That was classic.

As played and corny as that joke is, it still got a huge laugh from the room.

I think my favorite response from the press conference was when a reporter asked him the timetable for winning. Kelsey paused for a second and looked genuinely confused,  then said ... Now! If you aren't ready to win now don't even lace your shoes up.

Maybe. But Kelsey's energy and enthusiasm are infectious and it started with that corny joke.

I am a UK fan first. I am also that unicorn UK fan that roots for UL. Right now, I am more excited about UL basketball next year than UK.

Kelsey is already working on roster management and eyeing targets from the portal. 

Wondering if this would be a possible landing spot for Jacob Meyer.  Unless he's committed somewhere already & I missed it.  Would definitely give the Cards a scorer.

I have already seen Meyer's name in the fold for Louisville. Not sure if he ends up there, but I'd imagine they'll talk. 

Man, what a difference a month makes. 

PK is absolutely killing it in the portal, and is on the verge of landing a big fish out of high school. 

Dude has been relentless since he took over.

Kelsey has head coaching experience at 2 stops before Louisville, so he knows this part of the job.   Was Payne in WAY over his head or just a little lazy on this aspect of the job?  Living on the "I'm a great recruiter" tag he got while working for Cal?

Who have they picked up so far? 

Nevermind, I found a list.
