September 24, 2026 What Does Louisville REALLY Need From Jackson Shelstad? | 2026-27 Player Previews - Jackson Shelstad
Welcome to the Starting Five02 Player Preview Series presented by Alumni Hall! Jacob Lane, Alan Thomas, and Ryan Keeling are breaking down every player on Louisville's 2026-2027 basketball roster, starting with the man expected to run the show: Jackson Shelstad. The former Oregon point guard arrives in Louisville with three years of experience, a knack for the big moment, and an evolving offensive game. But with Flory Bidunga, Adrian Wooley, Seth Trimble, and a loaded supporting cast around him, what should his role actually look like? Is Shelstad Louisville's next leading scorer? Or is his greatest value unlocking everyone else?
Jacob, Ryan, and Alan break down the numbers, the tape, and what Shelstad brings to the Cardinals, including:
- His evolution as a playmaker and what the advanced stats tell us
- His ability to score at all three levels and take over late in games
- The potential of a Shelstad–Bidunga partnership
- How his game translates to Pat Kelsey's offense
- Defensive questions and his fit in John Andrzejek's system
- Our predictions for his first season in Louisville

Plus, we debate whether Shelstad can deliver the kind of impact Louisville has enjoyed from its recent point guards — and whether the Torvik projections are selling him short.

September 18, 2026 Louisville adds LJ Wells — but another Cardinal is turning heads
Louisville basketball is STILL adding to the roster in September.
Ryan and Alan break down the addition of Northern Kentucky transfer LJ Wells, what the veteran 6'8" forward brings to Pat Kelsey's roster, and why his rebounding, experience and versatility could make him a valuable depth piece for the Cards.
Then, there's some serious buzz building around Obinna Ekezie Jr. After missing much of the summer while working his way back from injury, the reclassified freshman big man is back on the floor — and he's already turning heads in practice. How big of a role could Ekezie play this season? And if he's ahead of schedule, how does Pat Kelsey find minutes in an increasingly crowded Louisville frontcourt?

Plus:
• Why offensive rebounding could become a major part of Louisville's identity
• Pat Kelsey's history developing and utilizing athletic bigs
• What the latest practice footage tells us about this roster
• PK rallies Card Nation ahead of Louisville–SMU
• Why the buzz around Louisville athletics continues to grow

August 27, 2026 Does Louisville NEED Seth Trimble? | Eligibility Chaos, London Johnson & More
The Seth Trimble saga isn't over — and Louisville's roster suddenly looks a lot different. Jacob Lane and Alan Thomas break down the latest twists in Trimble's eligibility battle and debate just how important he is to Louisville's championship ceiling. Is Trimble simply the final piece of an already-loaded roster, or do the Cards NEED him to make a legitimate run at a national title? Plus, London Johnson is officially no longer with the program. What does his departure mean for Louisville's suddenly thin backcourt, and should Pat Kelsey look to add another guard before the season? The guys also look ahead to 2027 recruiting, where Louisville has made the final seven for five-star point guard Reese Alston — the son of AND1 legend Rafer "Skip 2 My Lou" Alston.
On this episode:
The latest on Seth Trimble's eligibility
How worried should Louisville fans actually be?
Does Louisville need Trimble to win a national championship?
What London Johnson's departure means for the roster
Should Pat Kelsey add another guard?
Louisville's pursuit of five-star Reese Alston

August 14, 2026 Seth Trimble Changes EVERYTHING for Louisville Basketball
Seth Trimble is a Louisville Cardinal. In August. Because apparently this is just how college basketball works now.
Ryan and Alan break down Louisville's stunning addition of the former North Carolina guard, starting with the biggest question: how is this even possible? We dive into Trimble's eligibility, the transfer situation and why Louisville appears confident he can suit up for the Cards this season. Then we get to the fun part. What does Seth Trimble bring to Pat Kelsey's roster? How much does his defense, athleticism and ability to get downhill change Louisville's ceiling? Can his shooting improve in this system? And with another legitimate high-level guard entering an already loaded rotation, whose minutes take the biggest hit? We break down the projected rotation, positional flexibility, potential small-ball combinations and the rest of Louisville's now ridiculous roster. Just how good can this Louisville team be? Let us know in the comments.

August 06, 2026 Pat, you good? | Bahamas recap, Coaching staff update + Pat Kelsey talk
Louisville dominated its Bahamas exhibition, but that's not what everyone has been talking about. On the latest episode of Starting Five02 Podcast, hosts Ryan Keeling, Alan Thomas, and Jacob Lane dive into the growing conversation surrounding Pat Kelsey's demeanor, the changing level of access around the Louisville basketball program, and whether Cardinal fans are reading too much into it, or not enough. The guys break down what stood out from Louisville's dominant Bahamas performance, discuss Peyton Siva's move to St. John's, and talk about what's next for State of Louisville following the move to The 1912 Society. Is the conversation around Pat Kelsey overblown, or are Louisville fans noticing something real?

June 30, 2026 Mikel Brown's Legacy, Ryan Conwell's Fit in Miami, & Honoring Kenny Klein
Louisville basketball fans have had no shortage of things to talk about, and the guys are covering it all on this edition of the Starting Five02 Podcast. On this episode, Pres Meyer, Ryan Keeling, and Alan Thomas are talking all things Mikel Brown, Ryan Conwell, NBA Draft, and looking ahead to 2026-27. First, they take a moment to remember the life of Louisville basketball SID Kenny Klein. What KK meant to the city of Louisville and why he made such a profound impact. Then, the guys dive into the polarizing Mikel Brown discussion. What it meant to exclude head coach Pat Kelsey from the NBA Draft, and why Pres and Alan disagree on Brown's legacy. Ryan Conwell is headed to the Heat. They discuss his fit with the organization, and why he could find himself in a starting role quickly. Then, they jump into Pat Kelsey's first press conference of the offseason. Why the tone feels different this year from Louisville's head ball coach, plus how the freshman class can step up and be difference-makers right away.
