Jamari Johnson WTF…

IT's not a WTF, he shares an agent with those other trouble makers. It was simple.

And this is the thing, he committed here under Satt and it was solely for NIL. He didn't come here for Brohm or love of the program. He's also injured and we don't know the time table on his recovery. He wants a big bag of cash. Jeff wants a healthy tight end and doesn't think it's worth it to put their money on a guy like him.

And putting money on a tight end when we need

1. A starting QB, which is expensive
2. like 5-6 guys in the secondary. We have to get a whole new room
3. REplacing what like 7-10 guys in the front 7
4. 1-2 Offensive linemen

Plus a lot of depth pieces. Paying him the money he wants to not produce when we have other needs just isn't the plan.

Jamari Johnson WTF…

I agree he is entering the market at a disadvantage. With that said I question the evaluation process of these teams with big budgets. It maybe a Godfather scenario make him an offer he can’t refuse. I don’t get it. He has 13 catches for 158 yds and he is coming off an injury.

Fascinated to see where he goes. Has to be a brand school.
Jamari's situation is not dissimilar to the concerns over Lacey's leaving; you didn't have alot of Caullin film at Louisville in four games, but the film you had showed some big time plays--the TD return against Miami, the huge catches against Notre Dame, the two third down catch-and-run to the sticks conversions at Virginia. In Jamari's case, the 29 yard seam route that showed great athleticism for a TE against Notre Dame and the middle screen against what I think was Georgia Tech or SMU that sprung for a big gainer but was called back due to ineligible men downfield. Those two plays in particular showed he wasn't some garden variety plodder out of the tight end position.

LOUISVILLE VS UTEP GAME THREAD- 7PM ACCNX

I have always heard coaches tell their players to "square up" or at least their shoulders to the basket when shooting. Waterman does neither in his FT or 3 pt shooting. I also wonder why when there are so many coaches that a flaw is not corrected. You can shoot 1000 times incorrectly and it's not going to get better. If its only confidence, I would say yes, keep shooting if everything else is correct.

The other thing that might be more likely is that with Pryor going down, he's the most likely choice (same height and body type) that has to replace him. If he keeps trying to be that guy, hes not going to succeed. If he works on defending, getting rebounds, and not settling for every open 3, I think the game will get easier for him. Kudos to Coach Kelsey for not putting him back into the game after showing clear frustration after missing those foul shots. It was evident then that the missed shots were in his head. It will be interesting to see if he continues to start. Unfortunately UK doesn't start a player under 6'4" which will be a challenge for Reyne both on offense and defense.

FB RECRUITING: USC QB Miller Moss Commits To Cards

I agree. The bowl game means little except now who will be starting at QB. I think it has to be Clarkson and that's why he hasn't entered the portal.

I doubt we see any QB commit to Louisville until after the bowl game, even though that is risky. If Brohm doesn't want a shorter QB like Clarkson, I believe the redshirt freshman would already have declared for the portal.

But I could be wrong any day now. I'm not so much worried about who Brohm gets, but more about who I would prefer he get. The dude at Cal, Mendoza is the best I've seen, but he may not be interested?

Sorry, I just couldn't let this pass. We are suppose to trust what you have seen? Do you live in Calif. Have you watched all his games? I would bet Brohm or someone on staff has seen more tape of every possble QB transfer than what you have seen. Sorry! It also goes without saying that I trust Brohm, who has made 2 good if not great decisions on who to QB our team but yet you pretend to know more about this guy. Also just for the record, if size of the QB was the only deciding factor for QB, I don't believe Clarkson would still be here. You are also wrong about the only important thing in the bowl game is the QB play. Its way behind what our OL, DL and secondary will look like next year. Nothing personal but you're way off on this one.

Tyler Shough

A huge rivalry game and breaking a five year losing streak for bragging rights cannot be compared to what amounts to a meaningless exhibition game made even more irrelevant by the expanded playoffs. Nobody blames him for not wanting to play in that. Everybody would have blamed and held it against his legacy of ever playing here not playing in what is the most important game of the year. You don't come to Louisville to not play in the UK game. I don't think that is lost on Tyler at all.
I agree to a degree.

To me however , a bowl game is very important. But who am I? We just pay the freight.
