All offseason, the Louisville basketball fans wanted two things: a shooter and a 7-foot center. Well, we know Kelsey struck gold with the shooter as he brought in multiple sharpshooters and exceeded all expectations. As for the 7-footer, some fans were disappointed they didn't get one, but they had a 7-footer on their roster right in front of them the entire time.
Aly Khalifa has yet to play a minute for Pat Kelsey and the Louisville Cardinals, as he was redshirted last season due to an injury he sustained the previous year. Now, the center will be a crucial piece for the Cardinals as he is not only an elite playmaker at his size, but after a growth spurt this summer, it appears Louisville fans got the 7-foot center they were begging for.
