Just a few days after Michigan captured the national title in the NCAA Tournament, teams are already getting busy looking to recruit new talent and maintain their place in the upper echelon of college basketball.

Among them is Louisville, which suffered a second-round exit in March Madness after losing to Michigan State.

With the Cardinals’ roster being gutted this season with the graduation of Ryan Conwell, J’Vonne Hadley, Isaac McKneely, Aly Khalifa, and Kobe Rodgers, and Khani Rooths and Sananda Fru entering the transfer portal, the team is keen on searching for possible replacements.

According to Field of 68’s Jeff Goodman, Louisville is set to host a pair of target prospects in hopes of enticing them to join the program.

“Kansas transfer Flory Bidunga and Oregon transfer Jackson Shelstad are taking an official visit together to Louisville on Friday, a source told @TheFieldOf68,” said Goodman on X.

Bidunga had an outstanding sophomore year with the Jayhawks, averaging 13.3 points and team-highs of 9.0 rebounds and 2.6 blocks. The 20-year-old forward from Congo was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and was selected to the All-Big 12 First Team and Big 12 All-Defensive Team.

Bidunga teamed up with Darryn Peterson and Tre White in leading Kansas to the No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament. They lost to St. John’s in the second round.

Shelstad, meanwhile, also had impressive numbers in his third year with the Ducks, averaging career-highs of 15.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 1.4 steals.

Oregon missed the NCAA Tournament due to a 12-20 record.

If both Bidunga and Shelstad commit to Louisville, they will instantly form a lethal one-two punch for coach Pat Kelsey.

Kelsey steered the Cardinals to a 24–11 record this season, including 11-7 in the ACC.
