Comeuppance: “a fate deserved.” That would be the relative No Show in Fayetteville. The antonym of that: Well, absolution, and/or uh exoneration kinda but don’t exactly work. It’s still early in a long season. Vindication. That’s the one. Louisville 87, Indiana 78. What follows may be gibberish. Despite the Cardinals überfast start — 16-0 after […]

Before I was fully admitted into the escape-proof prison of hate that is the Louisville-Kentucky rivalry (ages 0-4, basically), there was Indiana. My father and my two older brothers were my unassailable sporting guides through the vastly underrated preschool formative fandom years, and their stance on IU was pretty clear: Bob Knight was a mean […]

Pennsylvania State, easily one of the top two or three openings, stands at the alter like a bride whose cake has been left out in the rain. Groom didn’t show. She looked over at best man, whom she’d been zoomin’ with, asked “How about you?” at which point he booked for the parking lot, tossing […]

Louisville came into the game against powerhouse South Carolina a 15 point underdog. Apparently the Cards didn’t get that memo though because they went toe to toe with the #3 team in the nation and even held a 5 point lead with under 5 minutes left in the game. Louisville had the ball down 2 […]

In my pregame prep, I refreshed my memory about some truly important mileposts, battles of note against Arkansas in decades past. The Good: Scooter or Charles one or the other or both following a shot to beat the Razorbacks in Knoxville in the Dream Game Chaser game. The Bad: The season ending loss to Arkansas […]

A dismal first half proved to be too much for Louisville to overcome as the Cardinals fell 89-80 at No. 25 Arkansas Wednesday night. U of L trailed by 18 points at halftime and by as many as 20 after the break as old nemesis John Calipari proved that he still seems to have the […]

BRIGGS CHERRY – QUARTERBACK 247 Composite– 4-Star OFFERS: Georgia Tech, Ole Miss, Syracuse Highlights: Evaluation: Louisville did a great job finding a gem in Cherry before he blew up into a national recruit.

BRYTEN CLOSE – OFFENSIVE LINE 247 Composite – 3-Star OFFERS: Ohio, WKU, Colgate, Penn, Liberty, ECU Highlights: Evaluation: The staff placed a premium on size with this offensive line class, and Close is a good example of that at 6-6/300. He uses his size well as a pass blocker by getting a wide base and […]

JON ADAMS – EDGE 247 Composite – 3-Star OFFERS: FIU, Tulane Highlights: Evaluation: Louisville got in early on an under-the-radar player in Adams. At 6-3/210, he is more of an athlete than he is a specific position player. He plays just about every position for his high school team, and the competition level can make […]

KRIS BRUNSON – CORNERBACK 247 Composite – 3-Star OFFERS: Virginia, Colorado State, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Mississippi State Highlights: Evaluation: Louisville has a lot of holes to fill throughout the roster, with cornerback being a key spot.

JULIUS MILES – TIGHT END 247 Composite– 4-Star OFFERS: UCF, Syracuse, Vandy, Colorado Highlights: Evaluation: Louisville made Miles a priority in this class, and he felt the love from the staff and committed after a few months of parsing through his finalists.

MARLON HARBIN – ATHLETE 247 Composite – 3-Star OFFERS: Miami of Ohio, UK, Toledo, Highlights: Evaluation: It’s rare to see a prospect who can truly be considered an “Athlete” without a probable position.

LEKHY THOMPKINS – RUNNING BACK 247 Composite – 3-Star OFFERS: Colorado, Miami, Minnesota, Purdue, Virginia Tech Highlights: Evaluation: Louisville didn’t land the top two targets on their running back board this cycle, but Thompkins gives them another big back who can fit well in their scheme. Thompkins is a north-south runner with good speed once […]
