Louisville's Stellar Recruiting Class

I posted this the other day on HOB
Louisville has a good, small, but good class.

Given that UK fielded 28 4 Stars in 2022,, should Louisville be able to keep this up for four successive classes, they would be about toe-to-toe with us on talent.

Our strong classes in 2013 and 2014 took until 2016 to beat Louisville.

As I said in an earlier post, Louisville will be better off in the future with Brohm as HC than with Satterfield. Like it or not, it's big net "gain" for Louisville.. Brohm did as well as anyone probably could at a tough place like Purdue to win-- he won't have the same tough time at Louisville in the ACC.

Sports Illustrated article by Scooby Axson on Jan 30th 2014.
“Five star defensive tackle Matt Elam chooses Kentucky over Alabama “.

www.espn.com football recruiting Lamar Jackson. ESPN scout grade. 3 stars…


ESPN is horrible especially back then.

We are on rivals and use rivals recruiting rankings not ESPN

Bottom line ... both fanbases IMO have something to hang their hat on especially when you include the Transfer Portal.

I said it earlier and will say it again … Devin Leary was a steal for you guys
 
I hope UL does improve, as long as they lose to UK. UK and UL being ranked is good for the state and the game. Maybe we`ll be a national televised game, instead of being on the SEC network or Bally sports. It helps us with recruiting and possibly with improving our (UK) NIL situation.

Good points plus 7’s will appear good in ACC anyways. Question is with Conference realignment who leaves ACC for SEC?

I think Clemson will leave for the SEC. It will be good for them and us, plus it keeps their rival game in place. Florida State could and still play Florida. We have Georgia and Georgia Tech. The only other one that would make sense, from a rivalry standpoint, would be Louisville. But I dont think Louisville would want to join, unless the money was too good to pass up.

i highly doubt the SEC wants UL

UNC and Virginia would likely be 2 besides Clemson. FSU would get invited and accept. Louisville won’t be invited.

Louisville would beg to join .... the SEC will have no part of that...
 
If they are going down that path then you’d think each conference will want to go to 20 teams.

Big 10- at 16 with USC & UCLA. Talk about adding Oregon and Washington as well. ND is the wildcard obviously. If ND tells them no then I think they go UVA and VT.

SEC- At 16 with Texas and Oklahoma. Add in Clemson, Florida St, UNC, and NC St

Big 12- at 12 with BYU, UCF, UC, and Houston. Think they would want to add Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Arizona St as the first 4. Then UL and Pitt to fit with WVU and UC. Then Miami and ??? (USF, GT, another Texas school)

Probably see some schools get left out (Duke, WF, Syracuse) and maybe look to go Big East in basketball and then a different conference (whatever is left) for football.
 
For bowls they are looking at possibly going away from 6-6 records making it, starting bowls a week earlier, NIL for participating players in bowls, more standard names for bowls as some of the things they are looking at.
 
When was the last time you visited the campus?
That was a few years back when I stopped and went in to pick up a friend. Came back out to find my car window busted out and my stereo ripped from the dash. Wasn’t even an expensive one but it was mine.
