2014 football commit Detric Dukes talks with CSZ
Detric Dukes is a linebacker from Atlanta, Georgia’s Tucker High School. He committed to the Cards back on April 15, soon after being in town for the spring game. We caught up with him to ask some questions about his high school team, his latest college offer, and more…
Charlie Strong lands 6’3 WR/CB from South Carolina
The Cards picked up commitment number 14 for the class of 2014 when Union County High School (Union, SC) wide receiver/cornerback T.J. Foster committed to Charlie Strong and staff. He is listed at 6’3 and 180 lbs. A 6’3 wide receiver or cornerback is a weapon for sure.
Not surprised if Senorise Perry doesn’t play this season
I have thought this all along, and now that the season is getting closer, it seems to be a real possibility: I won’t be surprised at all if Senorise Perry does not play this season for the Cards. That doesn’t mean he won’t be ready to. But by the time he will be 100%, it may be better to treat him like we did Dominique Brown last year. Just let him sit out and get all the way healthy without using him for just a few games.

NBA Mock Draft updates: Gorgui in the lottery?
Here are some updated NBA Mock Drafts. One of them has Gorgui going as high as 12th! Another also has him going to the Bucks, which reminds me of watching the draft a few years ago with my cousin Conley. He is a UK fan, and was watching for Jodie Meeks, and he said “Please don’t get drafted to Milwaukee or Toronto. No one ever hears of players again when they go there!” That is a pretty accurate statement! Meeks did get drafted to Milwaukee that night, but of course he has now made his way to Los Angeles, so anything can happen.
This year’s NBA Draft is Thursday June 27.

The success in UofL athletics just continues to happen. Here are some things to get you caught up!
*Rick Pitino took some friends fishing in the Bahamas. With the lucky streak he is on, this happened. That is an 80 pound marlin! So just like everyone else in Major League Baseball, Pitino decided it would be fun to dominate the Marlins.
Mel Kiper’s 2014 Big Board. Where does he have Teddy?
Mel Kiper Jr. is a draft guru on ESPN. He has been doing this for years and apparently knows his stuff. I remember when Brian Brohm was going into the draft, Kiper kept saying that Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco were better, and I could not believe he was saying that. Well, I guess those two guys are pretty decent. He is already talking about the 2014 draft, and he does mention our guy Teddy Bridgewater. Enjoy!
Football: CBS has Cards ranked 10th, playing in Fiesta Bowl
CBSsports.com has released two different posts that should interest Cards fans. First, Dennis Dodd put out his post-spring Top 25. In that, he has Louisville ranked 10th. Here is what he has to say about the Cards.
ESPN.com blog about Dominique Brown
ESPN.com’s Andrea Adelson had a chance to catch up with running back Dominique Brown and talk to him about how he feels heading into this season. Brown sat out all of last season with a knee injury, and from what I saw in an open spring practice this year, he looks better than ever now. He still runs with the power he had before, but now he can make cuts and juke moves like a natural running back. He could be in for a major season. Here is the complete blog post from Adelson.
