Jae'Lyn Withers - College Basketball News & Rumors

Entering transfer portal Withers is entering the NCAA's transfer portal, according to VerbalCommits.com.

Impact Despite serving as the Cardinals' starting center across most of their 2022-23 season, Withers will transfer elsewhere, believing he can find better opportunities elsewhere. He is expected to be a senior during the 2023-24 NCAA season.

Comes close to double-double Withers recorded 12 points (4-11 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and two blocks across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 61-58 loss to Virginia.

Impact Withers struggled from the field and needed 11 shots to score 12 points, but he still provided value as a force on the defensive end. Withers is averaging 14.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game.

Nabs starting nod Saturday Withers will rejoin the starting lineup Saturday against North Carolina, C.L. Brown of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

Scores 12 points in loss Withers recorded 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one block in 26 minutes during Sunday's 80-53 loss to Miami (FL).

Impact Withers was coming off five straight games where he couldn't score in double digits, but he bounced back here and delivered a solid output. That said, he needs to be more consistent going forward since he's only averaging 8.6 points per game, a downgrade compared to the 10.1 points per game he averaged in the 2020-21 season when he was also a starter.

Louisville hosts No. 22 Maryland following Reese's 24-point outing

NOVEMBER 29, 2022 • Associated Press

Scores seven in huge loss Withers totaled seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and five rebounds over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 70-38 loss to Texas Tech.

Impact The Cardinals struggled badly on offense and only amassed 38 points as a team in a lopsided defeat against Texas Tech, and in fact, Withers ended as the co-leading scorer despite only scoring seven points. Withers started the season on a strong note, but he's only posted 14 points combined across his last three outings while shooting 4-for-12 from the field in that span.

Posts double-double Withers produced 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 11 rebounds and five steals over 34 minutes during Saturday's 73-72 loss to Wright State.

Impact Withers is enjoying an excellent start to the season as a two-way threat for the Cardinals, and he's been making his presence felt on both ends of the court. Aside from being efficient and productive on offense, scoring in double digits in both games while shooting a combined 12-for-20 from the field, he's also racked up seven total steals in those two outings.

NOVEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores team-high 17 points Withers notched 17 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and two steals across 26 minutes in Wednesday's 67-66 loss against Bellarmine.

Impact Withers was pretty efficient from the field and led the Cardinals in scoring, though a bigger contribution in other categories might have been useful for fantasy managers. He had a part-time role last season and only started in 15 of his 29 appearances, averaging 5.8 points per game. One game is a small sample size to draw conclusions, but it seems as if he'll get a bigger role in 2022-23.

Participant in exhibition Withers (knee) is a participant in an exhibition game Sunday versus Lenoir-Rhyne, according to Louisville's official Twitter account. He led the team with 20 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3P...

Impact Unsurprisingly, Withers is available prior to Louisville's last game before the team begins its season Nov. 9 versus Bellarmine. He starts as part of a frontcourt including Brandon Huntley-Hatfield and Sydney Curry.

Sits out team scrimmage Withers did not take part in Sunday's intrasquad scrimmage due to precautionary health reasons, Rick Bozich of WDRB.com reports.

Impact No specific reason was given for the absence of Withers, though he did miss the final three games of last season due to both knee and ankle issues. On the bright side, he's expected to be cleared for a full practice Tuesday, as well as participate in an Oct. 30 exhibition contest against Lenoir-Rhyne. Withers' production dropped off last season after he was no longer a regular starter, but he's still a double-double threat capable of reclaiming a starting role in 2022-23.

OCTOBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out first round Withers (ankle/knee) didn't play during Tuesday's 84-74 win over Georgia Tech in the first round of the ACC Tournament.

Impact Withers was questionable for Tuesday's contest and missed his second straight contest while dealing with a bone bruise in his right knee and an ankle injury. It's unclear if the sophomore forward will be able to take the court Wednesday against Virginia.

MARCH 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Withers (knee/ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's ACC Tournament opener against Georgia Tech, Tyler Greever of WHAS 11 News reports.

Impact Withers is nursing both a knee and ankle injury. Nothing is torn or broken, but he is pretty sore. Withers did not play in last Saturday's game against Virginia.

MARCH 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Withers will miss Saturday's game against Virginia due to a bone bruise in his right knee, Jody Demling of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Withers exited Tuesday's game against Virginia Tech due to the knee issue after playing just seven minutes and will miss another contest at a minimum because of it. The sophomore is typically a big part of the rotation and will likely be reinserted in the starting five if he's healthy for the ACC tournament.

MARCH 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Will not return Tuesday Withers (lower body) will not return to Tuesday's game against Virginia Tech, Jody Demling of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Withers is out for the rest of Tuesday's game after suffering a lower body injury. Withers left the game with 0 points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3PT) to go along with one block. His first chance to return before the ACC tournament is Saturday against Virginia.

Louisville takes on the Miami Hurricanes after Jae'Lyn Withers scored 20 points in Louisville's 63-57 loss to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish

FEBRUARY 15, 2022 • Associated Press

Scores 20 in spot start Withers registered 20 points (9-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and three steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 63-57 loss to Notre Dame.

Impact Withers was handed a start for the first time since Dec. 18, and he made the most of his playing time in order to score a season-high mark in points. He has scored in double digits in three straight games, so he's clearly moving in the right direction.

Double-digit scorer once again Withers contributed 13 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 92-69 loss to Syracuse.

Impact Withers is not having his best season, but the sophomore is trending in the right direction of late and has now scored in double digits in three of his last six appearances, including each of his last two contests. Withers has played every single game this calendar year as a bench piece and is averaging just 4.8 points and 3.2 rebounds per game across his last 11 appearances, so his fantasy upside will be limited as long as he remains in this role.

FEBRUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in double digits off bench Withers amassed 10 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 67-54 win over Boston College.

Impact Withers has been playing off the bench in the last few weeks, and while the fact that he scored in double digits in this one was encouraging, he's just not seeing the court or scoring consistently enough to be a fantasy asset.
