Louisville adds fifth-year forward LJ Wells to the basketball roster for this season

Louisville coach Pat Kelsey has added another fifth-year player to the roster with forward LJ Wells now available this season for the Cardinals

SEPTEMBER 14 • Associated Press

LJ Wells - Transfers to Louisville Wells will transfer to Louisville, per On3.

Impact Louisville gets some last-minute frontcourt reinforcements in Wells, who spent the 2025-26 season with Northern Kentucky. A 33-game starter, he averaged 15.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals on 55/28/68 shooting splits. The senior should have one more year of eligibility with the Cardinals, and he figures to provide depth at forward.

Louisville lands former UNC guard Seth Trimble to secure No. 1 transfer class | Sporting News Pat Kelsey and the Cardinals hit the jackpot with another blue-chip transfer before the upcoming season.

AUGUST 12 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Seth Trimble - Commits to Louisville Trimble has committed to Louisville for the 2026-27 season, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.

Impact Trimble is the latest player to try to take advantage of the recent court rulings allowing class of 2022 high schoolers a fifth season of eligibility. Trimble wanted to return to UNC, but the Tar Heels had already constructed their roster and were out of scholarships for the coming season. He most recently played in five Summer League games for the Washington Wizards where he averaged 10.8 PPG. Trimble did not sign an NBA contract, so the window to return to college was open. Should the injunction hold up and Trimble is eligible for the 2026-27 for Louisville, that gives the Cardinals another dynamic guard in the backcourt alongside Jackson Shelstad. Louisville would be much closer in the ACC race next season with teams like Duke and Virginia.

Karter Knox - Will not play Tuesday Knox (knee) went through warmups but will not play for Louisville on Tuesday against Bahamas Raw Talent, Jody Demling of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact This appears to be another step in Knox's recovery from the knee issue that sidelined him previously, but he remains unavailable for game action. Still, seeing him get involved in warmups is a positive sign considering he still has plenty of time to get ready for in-game action.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Jackson Shelstad - Will start Tuesday's exhibition Shelstad (hand) is in Louisville's starting lineup Tuesday against Bahamas Raw Talent, according to Matt McGavic of SI.com.

Impact This confirms the guard is opening with the first unit for Louisville. It also means Shelstad should be considered healthy moving forward, an encouraging sign with the 2026-27 college season still months away from its beginning.

Karter Knox - May be cleared soon Louisville's head coach Pat Kelsey says the team is hoping that Knox (knee) can be cleared within the next two weeks, according to Matt McGavic of Sports Illustrated.

Impact During early-2026, Knox underwent meniscus surgery, which indicates why his 2025-26 season abruptly ended. Nonetheless, Louisville recruited his services, and it looks like they will become available relatively soon. Kelsey's statement indicates that by July, Knox will be 100 percent, putting down previous concerns when he committed to the Cardinals back in April.

JUNE 22 • ROTOWIRE

Adrian Wooley - Expected to make big leap Wooley is expected to make a big leap during Louisville's 2026-27 season, according to Matt McGavic of Sports Illustrated.

Impact As part of Louisville, the 2026-27 NCAA season will be Wooley's second. He was a regular part of the 2025-26 Cardinals' rotation, with each of their 35 games including his 10-plus minutes. Wooley played behind Mikel Brown, but because of injuries, the former logged 16 starts and averaged 10.9 points. Brown has entered the NBA draft, and even with Jackson Shelstad joining Louisville's backcourt, Wooley regularly starting is to be expected. With that in mind, so is a statistical leap, especially now that he has a season of experience under his belt.
