Looking to bolster his frontcourt depth following the departure of James Scott and eligibility questions surrounding transfer Aly Khalifa, Louisville men’s basketball coach Pat Kelsey has turned to the NBA Academy Africa.

Don't be surprised if Louisville adds another player from the NBA Academy Africa. 

Coach Kenny Payne traveled 4,500 miles across the world to Saly, Senegal at the NBA Academy Africa, looking for impactful players to add to his team for next season.

Emmanuel Okorafor has practiced with the University of Louisville men's basketball team since his arrival from the NBA Academy Africa last Thursday.

Emmanuel Eberechukwu Okorafor, a 6-foot-9-inch forward from Nigeria, signed with the Cardinals.
