Former Badgers Point Guard Transfers to Long-Rumored Destination
Chucky Hepburn is headed to the ACC.
It didn't take very long for former Wisconsin basketball starting point guard Chucky Hepburn to find a new home in the transfer portal.
Hepburn will spend his final season of eligibility at his long-rumored destination under head coach Pat Kelsey at Louisville according to a report by Shams Charania.
Coach Kelsey spent the last three seasons at Charleston and replaced Kenny Payne, who was fired after leading his alma mater to a 12-52 record during his two seasons with the Cardinals. Louisville finished 8-24 this past season but, like many programs, is going through a total rebuild.
On April 18, Hepburn made the decision to enter the transfer portal after a three-year run with the Wisconsin basketball program. It's fair to say that Hepburn's choice to move on ranks among the most surprising moves made by any Badgers player in the transfer portal era.
Positioned to become a senior leader and a four-year starting point guard, Hepburn was a foundational piece of the program. That's why his luring into the transfer portal hit the Wisconsin Badgers like a gut punch; if he could leave, then absolutely anyone could.
