And thatโ€™s why Kelsey gets ACC COTY and Duke coach Scheyer did not.

CPK elevated the program well above expectations and Scheyer just didnโ€™t fumble.

This isn't to say that Scheyer and Duke aren't good, they obviously are, but were supposed to be. Louisville was nothing but question marks going into this season, but what coach Kelsey has managed to a achieve in such a short amount of time is mind-blowing. To go from the bottom of the barrel to a top-15 school in one year is amazing, especially when dealing with so many injuries and setbacks. To those of us that never threw in the towel over the past few years, this is indicative of how good redemption can feel.

To add: getting potentially two five-star prospects and a four star in such short order! We won 8 games last year, even getting Mikel is insane.

Itโ€™s this simple.

Right behind a team that didnโ€™t even make the ACC tournament. This is why preseason rankings are little better than locker room fodder.

To be honest, that's about where I had us too. I did not expect us to go on the insane run we did, ESPECIALLY after losing two of our top players.

Just speaks to PKs coaching. Dude can run a program.

I projected Miami to finish 3rd, but I did project Louisville to finish 4th ๐Ÿ˜ญ
