Offseason

Personnel

In June, Louisville hired Vince Marrow in an off-field role as the Executive Director of Player Personnel and Recruiting. The position is expected to handle roster management, recruiting, and the transfer portal. Marrow was hired away from rival Kentucky where he was a long time assistant coach and recruiter. In his time at Kentucky, he was regarded as one of the top recruiters in the country. ^{[1] [2]}
