The prized recruit from Kenny Payne’s 2023 recruiting class has already left the program.
On Monday afternoon, Louisville four-star freshman small forward Trentyn Flowers announced on social media that he is leaving the Cardinals before ever playing a game and will instead suit up for the Australian professional league, the National Basketball League (NBL), for the 2023-24 season. He will be part of the league’s “Next Stars” program.
The 6-foot-8 Flowers committed to Louisville in March after reclassifying from 2024 to 2023. He had been with the team throughout the summer and was expected to play an immediate role on this season’s squad.
