Despite all the offseason talk surrounding potential roster additions and “contingency plans” for Donovan Mitchell leaving, Rick Pitino says it looks like Louisville won’t be adding any more new faces for 2017-18.
In an interview with Terry Meiners on 840-WHAS on Tuesday, Pitino stated that despite having one scholarship available, the current plan is to hang onto it. Unless rising junior Deng Adel chooses to follow the lead of Mitchell and Jaylen Johnson and keep his name in the draft.
“If Deng comes back, which I’m 99 percent sure he is, I probably won’t use it,” Pitino said.
