Running back from South Carolina also on campus this weekend!
2014 running back Andre Stoddard (Greenville, SC) will be another player on UofL’s campus this weekend, just adding to the list of big-time players in the ‘Ville. As a junior, Stoddard rushed for 2,775 yards, which is the South Carolina single season state record! He had 40 touchdowns, which is 4th best in a single season all time. The top schools that Stoddard is interested in are (in no order): Louisville, Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina, Clemson, and Tennessee.
4* QB in Louisville this weekend
4* QB Dj Gillins (Jacksonville FL) will be on the UofL campus this weekend. Gillins is rated as high as the #1 Dual threat QB on some sites and is loaded with potential. As high as Gillins is rated, it could have been even higher. Gillins tore his ACL in his 2012 Jr season but seems to be recovering greatly. After de commiting from Texas Tech Gillins now has very high interest in the Cards and has a close relationship with Louisville Commit Isaiah Ford. Gillins called Ford “The best WR in the state of Florida” in a recent interview with Mike Hughes. Louisville clearly is going to land another QB in this class and with OK St transfer Wes Lunt prolonging his decision it will be interesting to see the Strong and company extend an offer to Gillins this weekend. At 6’3 and 4.5 speed Gillins is exactly the type of QB that could come in an compete to fill the void that will almost surely be left by Bridgewater after this year.

Isaiah Ford and Stud 2015 teammates to be in the Ville
4* Louisville WR commit Isaiah Ford will be on the UofL campus this weekend to check out the Ville. Ford has been making his rounds checking out different campuses along the way but seems very excited to get to the school he plans to call home in the near future. Ford is a dynamic WR that may be the most talented prospect in a loaded 2014 class for the Cards. Ford will arrive on Louisville’s campus this weekend but he will not be alone. Fords Trinity Christian team is loaded with 2015 talent and they will also be taking in all the beautiful city of Louisville has to offer. Here is a short run down of those players:

Huge Football Visitor in The Ville today
By: Steven Rummage
You might remember the name Trevonte Valentine. Valentine was Louisville’s first commitment in the 2014 class but has since re opened his recruitment to look around and in doing so has gained offers from: Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, FSU, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Ohio St, Oklahoma and USC and folks that’s literally just naming a few. So what does all this have to do with Louisville now? Valentine recently left his High school in Florida to head to Champagnat Catholic (also in Florida), If this School sounds familiar to you it’s probably because that’s the High School of current UofL freshman Chucky Williams and current UofL commit Michael Johnson.
Advice for UK football fans: calm down
I first had a clever little Louisville vs the SEC paragraph typed up to begin this, but I scrapped that and will just dive right into what I am thinking. UK football fans…ease up a little bit and relax. Look, I am happy that UK is landing some actual D1 talent. None of our wins over you have ever really meant anything when it comes to our strength of schedule. Your biggest bowl in recent years is the Music City Bowl or the Liberty Bowl. So could we really be pumped about having that W on our schedule? I want you all to be competitive. I want UofL to beat UK by 20-30 of course, but then if UK makes some noise in the SEC? Then good for us! But it never seems to happen.
