When Dez Fitzpatrick committed at first I was elated. His game was a throwback to the AFROS I grew up watching. Has a little Deion Branch with his speed & route running and a little Lavell Boyd in him with his sure hands and ability to make difficult catches. Imagine my horror when I hear:…
When the 2nd set of self-imposed sanctions the thing that people worried about after they collected their thoughts was: How will we recruit? I say after because when they were announced, people acted like they were unaware that these sanctions were coming down. We all assumed that reduction of scholarships, recruiting restrictions and a…

Here are some of his accolades: (via WVUsports.com) Has 20 years of collegiate coaching experience with five bowl appearances Named the 2010 Big East Recruiter of the Year by ESPN.com Recruited and coached former Mountaineer…
Did you catch Russ Smith’s awesome 50 point performance yesterday for the Delaware 87ers vs the Iowa Energy? Russ Smith scored 50 points for the 87ers (18-22) on 19-of-36 shooting and 9-of-11 from the free throw line, in addition to six rebounds and four assists in 42 minutes of action. 20 in the 1st,…
Coach Rick Pitino was super emotional last night. Who wouldn’t be. Bad loss on top of post-season ban on top of Lee & Lewis leaving. Rough stuff. Somehow though he turned into Chris Rock in the press conference. It was cool to see that wide range of emotions from him. He looked like a coach…
A Dab, A Photobomb, A Kiss: Damion Lee’s Big Night in Louisville
VJ King made it official and signed with the Cards yesterday. If you would like, check out a few highlight videos of him. King is a 5-star small forward that is a big get for Rick Pitino and Louisville.
It took a little longer than some expected or wanted, but both VJ King and Frankie Hughes are now officially Louisville Cardinals. Hughes sent in his letter of intent early in the day. King made us wait until about 8:30 pm on Wednesday night. Hughes is a 3-star guard that committed to Louisville just as…
Today was a very weird day. Scandal brought back up. New “Facts” come out. The logical next step was Louisville Basketball gets a commitment from Frankie Hughes, right? The 6’3 Guard picked the Cards over Wisconsin. He also had offers from FSU, Wichita St and the entire M.A.C. (almost). Why pick UL with the scandal…
This past weekend, Louisville hosted a major prospect on campus as 5-star point guard De’Aaron Fox made an official visit. Jeff Greer of the Courier-Journal spoke to his high school coach and got a feel for how the visit went. Here are just a few quick hitters from Greer’s column, which you can read here.
One of the nation’s top point guards in the class of 2016 is on UofL’s campus this weekend, and he has Louisville’s only commit with him. De’Aaron Fox, a five-star point guard on all four major recruiting sites, is taking an official visit this weekend while Cards’ commit V.J. King is here on an unofficial…
High school kids only get to take five official visits to colleges when they are deciding where to go. So if a big-time prospect uses one of those five visits on your school, you are right there in the mix. T.J. Leaf, a five-star power forward on all four major recruiting sites, will take an…
Markelle Fultz is a consensus 5-star shooting guard on the four major recruiting sites, and he will officially visit the Louisville Cardinals on Wednesday, August 5. Fultz has set two official visits so far, Louisville and Arizona. He will visit Arizona on August 8. Players only get five official visits, so this is pretty big.
Finally! We expected this for a while, and now it is official. So if you hadn’t already moved on from Maverick, you can go ahead and do so and join the rest of us. But judging by the majority of comments anytime I have posted about him lately, you already have. So this is just…
Steve and I have decided to add a little bit to the recruiting posts this year. Instead of just posting the weekly notebook on Mondays, we will also post these rankings, which can be updated at any time of any day. This is kind of our version of what some would call their “big board.”…
I don’t know what “soon” means to Maverick Rowan. I don’t know how long a week is for Maverick. What I do know is that he tweeted three different jersey numbers that he could wear in college, and then said that a decision is coming soon. Take all of this however you want to. I…
In this week’s basketball recruiting notebook, Steve and I let you know that a couple of guys will be removed after they either committed elsewhere, cut the Cards from their list, or UofL simply moved on. Basketball recruiting for the class of 2016 is beginning to heat up. As always, this notebook focuses on the…

Cheesy name? Absolutely. Me caring? Nope. If you didn’t hear us talk about it on 93.9 The Ville this past Saturday, Steve and I have decided to add a little bit to the recruiting posts this year. Instead of just posting the weekly notebook on Mondays, we will also post these rankings, which can be…
