With Louisville’s 2022-23 season mercifully nearing an end, the main topic of discussion surrounding the Cardinals has already switched to next season and how much of a step forward Kenny Payne can take in year two.
At the heart of that discussion is the status of El Ellis, the ACC’s second-leading scorer at 18.0 ppg. Ellis will go through Senior Night festivities on Tuesday, but does technically have one more year of eligibility remaining.
Ellis was asked about his future plans on Monday, and didn’t rule out the possibility of returning to Louisville for a third and final season.
