Multiple reports have come out today that Indiana University Assistant Coach Kenny Johnson has emerged has the front runner to replace Kevin Keatts on the Louisville sideline.
As I mentioned earlier, Indiana assistant Kenny Johnson is in demand. He is in mix to replace Kevin Keatts on Louisville staff, per sources.

Hearing Louisville is now the frontrunner to land Indiana assistant Kenny Johnson if the Cardinals offer. Maryland still involved. #iubb

Johnson would be a great addition to the Cards staff and would fill a much needed recruiting spot on the bench. Johnson has many Nike ties and at one time was over “Team Takeover” a Nike circuit AAU team. At IU Johnson was responsible for landing the likes of: Troy Williams, Noah Vonleh, James Blackmon Jr. , and Robert Johnson. So to say this would be a home run hire is an under statement. This will defiantly be something to watch in the coming days. Follow Kenny Johnson @kjrelentless
