JJ Traynor will be back for his junior season at the University of Louisville. The versatile 6’8 forward from Bardstown made his decision known
Traynor, the son of former U of L player Jason Osborne, had a promising freshman season in 2020-21, appearing in all 20 of Louisville’s contests and posting averages of 3.9 points and 2.0 rebounds per game. He then appeared in just 10 games this past season, going nearly two full months from early December to early February without seeing the court. Traynor’s lack of playing time was one of the larger mysteries of the 2021-22 season, and one which grated on the nerves of many a Cardinal fan all winter.
