A day after announcing that he was getting a contract extension that will keep him at Louisville through the 2025-26 season, Cardinal head coach Rick Pitino broke down his 2015-16 roster with the C-J's Jeff Greer.
Here are a couple highlights:
* Jaylen Johnson: The 6-foot-9 sophomore is "strictly a 4," Pitino said, while Mangok Mathiang, Chinanu Onuaku and Anas Mahmoud can play both post spots. Johnson has improved leaps and bounds in the past nine weeks, and his best asset is his energy. He can obviously improve in a lot of ways, Pitino said, but the Michigan native's motor and relentless attitude on the floor will make him a key guy.
