Louisville’s James Scott enters the NCAA Transfer Portal

James Scott was one of a trio that followed Pat Kelsey from Charleston to Louisville. He’ll now be playing for a new head coach, though, with his latest decision.

Scott has entered his name into the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3‘s Pete Nakos has learned.

Scott has appeared in 70 games for the Cougars and Cardinals under Kelsey in his two collegiate seasons so far. He’s averaged 6.0 points (77% FG), 4.7 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, and 1.0 assists in those outings as an underclassman. That includes stats of 7.1 points (75.5% FG), 6.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists as the starting center this season for the Cards.

A native of Fayetteville, North Carolina, Smith was the No. 254 overall recruit as a three-star in the 2023 cycle. He also rated as a Top-40 center and the No. 10 player out of North Carolina. That’s according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Scott was one of a dozen additions in the portal last offseason for Louisville amidst the coaching change to Kelsey, including one of three from his previous program along with Reyne Smith and Kobe Rodgers. He’ll now be just one of few transfers out of the program to this point of the cycle.
