Mikel Brown's Legacy, Ryan Conwell's Fit in Miami, & Honoring Kenny Klein
<p>Louisville basketball fans have had no shortage of things to talk about, and the guys are covering it all on this edition of the Starting Five02 Podcast. On this episode, Pres Meyer, Ryan Keeling, and Alan Thomas are talking all things Mikel Brown, Ryan Conwell, NBA Draft, and looking ahead to 2026-27. First, they take a moment to remember the life of Louisville basketball SID Kenny Klein. What KK meant to the city of Louisville and why he made such a profound impact. Then, the guys dive into the polarizing Mikel Brown discussion. What it meant to exclude head coach Pat Kelsey from the NBA Draft, and why Pres and Alan disagree on Brown's legacy. Ryan Conwell is headed to the Heat. They discuss his fit with the organization, and why he could find himself in a starting role quickly. Then, they jump into Pat Kelsey's first press conference of the offseason. Why the tone feels different this year from Louisville's head ball coach, plus how the freshman class can step up and be difference-makers right away.</p><p><br></p><p>#louisville #louisvillebasketball #accbasketball #transferportal #transfernews #patkelsey #nbadraft #nbadraft2026 #louisvillecardinals #l1c4 #gocards #collegebasketball #ryanconwell #mikelbrownjr #nets #heat #nbasummerleague </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Full YouTube Episode: </strong><a href="https://youtu.be/mm_EGWKHkNE" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/mm_EGWKHkNE</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Stay Connected:</strong></p><p><a href="https://stateoflouisville.com/" rel="nofollow">https://stateoflouisville.com</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@stateoflouisville" rel="nofollow">https://tiktok.com/@stateoflouisville</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thestateoflouisville/" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/thestateoflouisville</a></p><p><a href="https://x.com/thestateoflou" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/thestateoflou</a></p><p><a href="https://x.com/PinkSeatsPod" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/PinkSeatsPod</a></p><p><a href="https://x.com/startingfive02/" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/startingfive02/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/StateOfLouisville" rel="nofollow">https://.facebook.com/StateOfLouisville</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Support The State of Louisville by supporting our partners! </strong></p><p><a href="https://www.thegridironcrib.com/" rel="nofollow">The Gridiron C.R.I.B.
