Raymond Spalding has just become the 2nd commitment in the class of 2015 for Rick Pitino and the Cards. The power forward from right here in town (Trinity High School) is listed at 6’9 and 200 lbs and he is a 4-star prospect across the four major recruiting sites. He chose the Cards over Indiana…

The official media predictions will be released on Monday, but I figured I would go ahead and give my predictions for how I think the standings will be in the ACC this season. This prediction will mean about as much as the media one that comes out tomorrow, which is not much at all. The…
Andrea Adelson and the rest of the ACC bloggers for ESPN.com have been counting down the best backups in the conference for the upcoming season. At #2, they highlighted Louisville running back Michael Dyer. Here is what they said about Dyer. I give you my thoughts afterwards… Projected role in 2014: Backup to Dominique Brown. The Cardinals…
It was the last Summer League game for the New Orleans Pelicans and the Minnesota Timberwolves. The game is full of a lot of guys just trying to make the roster, some I haven’t even heard of. I am not on the couch watching the game on my nice TV. And that’s because the game is…
So this has been one interesting summer. I have been swamped with work (a good thing) and we are now in the ACC! I am so excited about that part. The purgatory known as the AAC is over and now it is on to the next chapter of our greatness….the A-C-C It’s so pretty…….
Three former Cards were in action on Thursday in the NBA Summer League, and here is how they did… *Gorgui Dieng – Gorgui posted another double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds as the Timberwolves lost 100-86 to the Kings. He also had 3 assists and 3 blocks, along with 5 turnovers. He shot 5-15…
Bobby Petrino met with members of the media on Thursday afternoon to give an update on the team, much like Rick Pitino did just a week or so ago. There may not have been any breaking news at this press conference, but I love knowing that the season is now less than 7 weeks away!…
Jeff Greer of the Courier Journal wrote that wide receiver Robert Clark has left the University of Louisville football team and transferred to Samford, which is in Birmingham, Alabama. I am not shocked that he left, because apparently he wanted to be more of “the guy” in the offense. As we know, the Cards are…
With the July evaluation period in full swing, there is always some kind of recruiting news going on. This isn’t going to be as detailed as the weekly notebook that we put out on Monday’s (which you should check out), but it will just be some quick-hitters to update you on who Coach Pitino and…
It was a pretty active day for former Cards in the NBA Summer League on Wednesday. Gorgui Dieng had the best overall game, while Luke Hancock and Kyle Kuric also saw action in their games. Here is how all three did… *Gorgui Dieng – The big man absolutely dominated the glass, grabbing 19 rebounds to…
It is becoming very clear that the Cards plan on signing a shooting guard in the 2015 class. This point became even clearer when Coach Pitino offered former UCONN commit Prince Ali (Insert your Aladdin joke here). Ali is rated as a 4 star SG by all services and lands as high as top 30…
A study has been released that says what we already know: the Louisville Cardinals have the best fans in college basketball. It is just pretty cool to see actual studies that prove these kind of things. The following comes from the website that released the study. I am ok with the order. Everyone in the…
Not only is Shoni Schimmel a starter for the East in the WNBA All-Star game (along with Angel McCoughtry), but her jersey is also the top-selling jersey so far in the entire league. Pretty impressive for a rookie who just got to the league! Not only that, but the Atlanta Dream are at the top of…
ESPN’s Football Power Index, which you can read about here, projects the Louisville Cardinals to have an average season in 2014. They say the Cards will go 7-5. Sure, it’s a winning record, but looking at the schedule, I would think that 7-5 would be viewed as a disappointment among most Louisville fans. Here is…
The Detroit Pistons have decided to release Peyton Siva after he apparently did not do enough this summer to earn a spot on the team. In 3 games, Siva averaged 10 points, 5 assists, and 2.3 rebounds in 23 minutes per game. He also averaged less than 2 turnovers per game (1.6). Not too bad…
The Cards have just gotten their first basketball commit for the 2015 class! Deng Adel, the 6’7 small forward, has pledged his commitment according to Evan Daniels. Deng Adel, a five-star wing, just verbally committed to Louisville, per a source. — Evan Daniels (@EvanDaniels) July 14, 2014 Deng Adel is an impressive wing athlete. Scores…
Redshirt freshman Tyler Bruggman has decided to transfer from Washington State, and it looks like the Louisville Cardinals could be the landing spot for the former 4-star QB (ESPN, Rivals, and Scout) from Phoenix, Arizona.
As you have read in our CSZ Recruiting Notebook today 2015 SG Dwayne Bacon is climbing fast up the Cards wish list. Sunday Bacon went off for 43 points and showed why myself and others are getting on board with seeing Bacon in a Louisville jersey.
Tevon Coney is a 4-star linebacker from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida and has offers from nearly every big-time school in the country. On Monday afternoon, he tweeted out that he will also be considering the Louisville Cardinals. 247 Sports ranks him as the 11th best inside linebacker in the country. Rivals rates him as the…
Russ Smith had one heck of a debut in the NBA Summer League on Friday night. Against the NBA D-League Select, Russ played 27:12 and had 20 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists, including an assist on the game-winning basket as the Pelicans won 83-81. 10 of his 20 points came in the 4th quarter,…
