Georgetown lands transfer commitment from Louisville guard Curtis Williams Jr.

Former Louisville guard Curtis Williams Jr. will transfer to play at Georgetown in 2024-25, he announced Saturday via X. He spent just one season with the Cardinals and will have three years of eligibility remaining.

Williams appeared in all 32 games this past season, making four starts. He averaged 5.3 points and 1.3 rebounds per game while shooting 31.7% from the floor.

As a recruit, Williams was a four-star prospect coming out of Brother Rice High School in Bloomington Hills, Michigan. He ranked as the No. 96 overall player and the No. 1 player from the state of Michigan according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Williams showed off his potential by starting off ACC play with double figures in scoring for the first four games. He had his best game of the year on Feb. 3 against Florida State to finish with a season-high 19 points on 7-of-7 from the free throw line.

Curtis Williams is set to join a Georgetown team coming off of a 9-23 finish in the inaugural season for coach Ed Cooley. The Hoyas are set to return leading scorer Jayden Epps (18.5 ppg), so perhaps Williams can provide another scoring option alongside him as they hope for better results this coming year.

Williams was one of five Louisville players to enter the transfer portal this offseason after the Cardinals parted ways with coach Kenny Payne. Louisville went a combined 12-52 the past two seasons under Payne and is ready to begin a new era under Pat Kelsey.

The Cardinals have already made a splash in the portal themselves to bring in five players, including former BYU center Aly Khalifa. He averaged 5.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game this season.

Former Colorado guard J’Vonne Hadley commits to Louisville

Colorado transfer guard J’Vonne Hadley is officially off the board and has committed to Louisville and new head coach Pat Kelsey, he told On3. He ultimately chose the Cardinals over USC but also considered schools like Iowa State, Michigan State, and others.

The 6-foot-6 senior from Saint Paul, MN averaged 11.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game this season. He also shot 52.8% from the field and 41.7% from three.

Hadley becomes Louisivlle’s third addition out of the transfer portal, joining James Scott and Reyne Smith from College of Charleston, along with Terrance Edwards Jr. from JMU.
