A visit does not mean a flip...is there any word about flipping? Or are we just still paranoid and butt sore about what’s his face from Frankfort? You know, that dude that went to Nebraska and burned every bridge in the way...
J.J. Weaver visiting Louisville
- Thread starter dmill4444
- Start date
Thursday evening. He committed Thursday and visit Louisville Sunday. I don't even know what to say
Business decision. Go to Uk and you are set if the football thing doesn't work out. What business is U6 in except the losing business
One great season does not re-write school history and establish "a winning tradition". If you are a top caliber football player and hold offers from AL, tOSU, MI, GA, et al AND UK, unless uniquely "connected" to UK, I believe you think those other offers over pretty hard. JMO
FWIW, the Weaver news just now hit the Louisville board. He is apparently meeting with Satterfield and Nochta right now. The site writer say he still believes he is 100% UK. I only know what I read but I would be stunned at a flip.
Peace
They are obviously selling early PT. He's full grown, for sure, but hopefully he stops to think about how early he really wants to be looked at as the Answer, as well the nature of the Question .
I’ll bet his business decision talk is probably pro UK. I’ll worry when it becomes something to worry about
Yeah this generation way worse than those who had institutionalized segregation and indeed slavery - of course football recruiting is the real test of character though right.
BTW what generation are the coaches in - the ones who recruit kids with a promise of staying put and then bolt for another job?
Hometown is the emotional decision. UK just had Weaver's position win numerous national awards and looking at top five in the draft.
Business decision actually favors UK imo.

It really does, I think. The only way U of L is the business decision is if he's getting a signing bonus, or he somehow thinks U of L alumni networking will be better for him down the line. I doubt either applies.
Exactly what I was thinking. IIRC he's grown up a uofl fan. Flipping to them doesn't scream business, going to UK does
UL can offer early PT but so can UK. He will have every chance to see the field as a true freshman. Can see the blueprint in what UK and Brad White (key point) did for josh.
If it's a business decision, it's not really even a decision
If it's a business decision, it's not really even a decision
Maybe he can use the EXTRA $10.000 he will get free if he goes there for five years instead of UK, I know I sure could have going to UK, maybe he can help his family, do they need help?
It is the NOW generation you know.

Prostitution, drugs, training to be a serial armed robber, lots of things.
I had a friend with a machine shop that made AK47s AND the ammo, but his security system and checks on selling was pretty heavy--------he just retired.
Needed to put that "retired" in there, didn't want a lot of orders from Louisville.

This kind of thing used to bother me but it’s easier to brush things off I can’t control. It’s just easier for me to wait until signing day and see who faxes in their letters. We’ve had people flip in the past but we’re still doing pretty good.
The signing bonus was $100,000 for their basketball player.
Kev it’s a generation I don’t get either. If you’re word is not good for ONE week then when will it ever be? And I don’t want to hear the lame excuses put out by people. I can understand a flip to a school you committed to early in the process before exploring what is out there for you. Don’t have a problem with that at all. Some kids don’t have many options and pick one before they blow up and more options become available. This one anyone who hasn’t been living under a rock would know their situation. And ONE week ago you made a huge announcement after careful thought. Those are the ones that leave me shaking my head.
We’re not talking about Bama, Georgia etc: we’re talking about Louisville big difference.
You just have to live here...most black kids don't grow up caring much about UK.
I wouldn't in the least bit...
That was Jared Casey that committed on Thursday. Not JJ Weaver. JJ committed about a week or so earlier.
No matter what the wording is, as long as they don't make it mandatory when a player says he is committing to sign immediately, this s**t will continue.
As long as current NCAA commissioner is in charge, things will not work properly.

Can you post a picture of your Satterfield tattoo?
You sound a lot like Public Enemy.
Like a Corey Peters “business decision?” I hope Louisville kids know that Kentucky is a big state and their future is well-served by starring for the Cats. Sounds like Tyra is trying to steal UK’s 4/40 campaign.
Wildcard has been so silent on this board lately as his Cards crashed and burned in a nuclear flameout unlike any I have before seen. Now, we see the passive aggressive poster getting a second wind.
Folks, one great season does not establish a winning tradition. Just so you know. Thanks Nostradamus.
With all that's happened with that program, it looks like getting away from it would be the thing to do, not go to it. Who knows why anyone would even visit the campus after committing to the other state school, all you can do is shake your head.
Don’t think it’s going to ever change. The system is set up for the big boys allowing them to poach and fill their classes at the last minute if needed. Unfortunately it also allows schools like UL, Neb, etc to also continue their recruiting pitch.
I’m with you though, I’d like to see kids have the opportunity to sign a LOI early because if they don’t it gives the staff an indication that he’s not fully set on the school.
Yeah, that is my point, sure I get it that we lost one instate kid to Alabama and another to Notre Dame, both of whom happen to not only have a vast tradition of excellence and are incidentally, both undefeated and playing in the BCS playoffs.
But we have also lost instate players this year (and Morton last year) to Purdue, Va Tech, Nebraska (not one of which had a winning season this year), and Michigan/Stanford (who are good, I grant you) who hardly even gave us a thought, near as I can tell. If we can't sign instate kids after $130M of improvements, winning 7, 7 and 9 games, national POY, top 5 draft pick, top 20 ranking all year, 3 all SEC picks, etc., etc., it is disheartening to say the least. And it continues a trend from the last several years as well.
I hope you are right (and it looks like Weaver will stick now) but we have all been waiting for "next year" for decades now.
