#1 Notre Dame falls to UNC today.

That gives them 1 conference loss. Only need them to stumble one more time, to give us an undisputed ACC championship. This didn't look likely a week ago. But now it's possible.

is on the increase. Today’s attendance was just 71 short of 17,000. This is good and, I believe, shows an increased confidence by the fan base in this team AND COACH.

GO CARDS - BEAT EVERYBODY!!! God Bless America!!!

Today Louisville football really turned the corner as far as recruiting momentum goes. For the past few weeks it was something that I could sense on the recruiting trail and today that really started to materialize with the commitments of Joshua Black, Jackson Gregory, and Monty Montgomery.

While they weren't the highest rated prospects on recruiting sites, these 3 prospects I believe are good fits for what Coach Satterfield wants (I'll break down each of them on a later post). In the meantime I wanted to just put everything I'm hearing on other prospects in one post for easy access.

- While no news has emerged yet, I'm still keeping a close on on Zach Edwards and Jamel Starks. For those of you that want to keep track of my predictions, they can be found here: https://n.rivals.com/content/forecaster_profiles/2904063. It is important to note that this feature is fairly new for Rivals and with that come kinks they have yet to work out. One kink of note is that I can't remove a prediction or change it to an "unsure" and that is why I still have a Brandon Jordan prediction in for Louisville.

- Right behind Edwards and Starks I would put Marvae Myers-Glover on the watch list. It sounds like he may be close to committing as well.
UPDATE (1/28): I have placed a forecast for Myers-Glover to Louisville. He has been moved into level 1 commitment watch (I just made this up).

- Keeyon Stewart is scheduled to visit Texas Tech next weekend and appears to be down between Tech, Louisville, TCU, and Utah. At this point I feel like Stewart will end up at TCU or Utah but I think there still is a chance here.

- Ja'Darien Boykin, I'm told, will likely wait until NSD to officially announce. The good news is that I was also told that Louisville feels they will land him at that time.

- I'd venture to say that Jamel Starks would be the guy Louisville wants at safety and if that is the case, deductive reasoning tells me Cecil Powell may end up elsewhere.

- Jamious Griffin and Tyler Devera, two VERY important prospects for various reasons, are both in the wait and see boat. It sounds like both really liked their visits but at this point they will be visiting other places next weekend. That isn't the end of the world for Louisville, but it isn't ideal either. Definitely something to watch and will be storylines next weekend.into NSD.

- Terray Jones really enjoyed his OV but came away without an offer. He said that Louisville was going to let him know next weekend if they were going to have a spot or not for him. If they do, I'd expect he would commit to Louisville.

- At this point the only two I have not heard from are Dequanteous Watts (seemingly a South Carolina lean) and Mason Trotter. I will keep you updated when I hear anything from them.

Is it me, or is the flopping getting out of control across the board. I'm starting to think teams are covertly hiring soccer coaches to teach players to flop more dramatically. Don't the officials realize they are being manipulated? I think McGowens should be considered for an Academy Award for best supporting actor after his performance out there today. It did appear as the game went along that the refs started to wise up a bit to his act.

He said that Nwora is an elite offensive player but thinks “De Fense is something around the yard to keep the dog in” LMAO that was hilarious

Ladies “UConn do it”.

Leash the Huskies!

No minutes for Perry today. A message from Mack or another reason?

Anybody have a reason?

How many new commits from the weekend?

Ean Pfeifer, a grad transfer from Vandy, officially visited Louisville this weekend. Can play on the line or at TE. Would be a nice pick up. Don’t have any further details other than he enjoyed the visit.

All of the coach's posts on Twitter suggest a commit. My guess is JaDarien Boykin

Wednesday, Jan. 30, 8:00 p.m., NC State. Maybe Sultan of Swine or Pervis Griffith or mwatson61 can make arrangements with the owner. Saints has been very good the first couple of “meetings” there.

GO CARDS - BEAT EVERYBODY!!! God Bless America!!!

Most of the attention is on Louisville vs. NC State right now, but as you know recruiting never sleeps so I wanted to drop on by a few goodies for you all.

- This weekend is a very important one with official visits beginning tonight and going through Sunday. Louisville will have a number of players on campus that certainly have the possibility of being commits before it's all said and done.

- Jackson Gregory was visited today by Dwayne Ledford and is now on his official visit. While he doesn't officially hold an offer from Louisville, Coach Ledford told him they really like him as a center prospect and Gregory is expected to meet with Coach Satterfield this weekend at which point an offer may come. So what if it does? Well, if that happens I'd expect Gregory to announce his commitment to Louisville shortly thereafter.

- Zach Edwards was a late offer at linebacker that a source told me would be a definite take for Louisville. Edwards is visiting this weekend and that same source indicated that Louisville feels like they are in excellent shape with the 3-star linebacker. Keep an eye on this one.

- Speaking of offensive lineman, I'm watching Joshua Black to see if Louisville can flip his commitment from Georgia Tech, something I think is very possible.

- Ja'Darien Boykin appears to be Louisville's to lose. I have my prediction in for the Cardinals for Boykin and it wouldn't surprise me if he joined the commitment list as well this weekend.

- Tyler Devera appears to be Louisville's top target at the tight end position and will take a very important official visit to the Cardinals this weekend. As of right now I have my prediction in for Louisville but a late Maryland offer, and an official visit scheduled next weekend, makes me somewhat wary. Devera said that a decision isn't likely to come following his Louisville official visit and that he would like to visit Maryland next weekend before making one.

- I mentioned in another thread regarding TJ Holl that there is some uncertainty on how the linebacker position will shake out. For the 2019 recruiting class, that position has been one of the top priorities and now it is all about figuring out numbers. I was speaking with someone close to the program who told me that the staff really likes Washington LB Drew Fowler a LOT. In fact, I think he may be #1 on their recruiting board. So what chance does Louisville has in his recruitment? Well, the bad news is that Fowler told me his top 3 schools are Washington, Stanford, and Louisville. Also, he seemed to hint that he would like to stay on the west coast. The good news? Fowler said he has the best relationship with Cort Dennison out of all other coaches he talks to. Oh, and as of right now Stanford and Washington only have offered him as a preferred walk-on. Bottom line, I think Louisville is in good position to land Fowler and that would be a huge addition to the class. Check out his film here.

Heard a rumor that he was gonna transfer after this year. Any truth to this?

Time to focus on Wake. Must get to 7 conference wins before a brutal February stretch. No time to bask or rest on our laurels. We sit atop the ACC. Must fight to stay there!

75-62

I’ve noticed recently that they’ve started giving SuCk top billing. They cover SuCk first then UofL followed by IU or Bellarmine. UofL needs to move the coaches show to WDRB as I believe their the closest to UofL friendly. I know I’ve changed for the most part.

The uniform combinations should never have been allowed. Syracuse in orange, and Va Tech in pink ... someone wear freakin white. For chrissakes.

Other than that ...

The Hokies have been in control throughout ... killing the 3 point line in the first half. Va Tech is 4 and 2 in conference, and Syracuse is 5 and 1. So ... I'm rooting for the home team in this one.

This team can't afford losses like that. Pitt ranks 86th in the NET rankings. Other losses were to 21st ranked Marquette, 6th ranked UT, 15th ranked IU, and 11th ranked UK. Quality wins so far, Michigan State (8th), Lipscomb (43rd), and Seton Hall (45th). UNC (9th) is up next, then the rest of January becomes a little bit more manageable. Finishing the month 5-1 would be solid, because February brings hell. Other than getting some quality wins, the Cards need some road wins to bolster their resume'.

The NET is new, so if you're not familiar, NET takes into account game results, strength of schedule, game location, scoring margin, offensive and defensive efficiency and the quality of wins and losses. Louisville, btw, ranks 24th.

...Price is a function of demand. And get-in ticket prices in the secondary market for the Pitt game tomorrow are north of $20 plus fees. That's significantly higher than recent games which have consistently bottomed out around $6.

Could be related to a Saturday afternoon tip time, but that's not normally a big driver of prices...usually more of a factor on attendance. Mack and these players deserve better turnout. Could this be the start?...

I’m a huge Jurich fan, but can also admit (unlike some) he made mistakes along the way. That being said, yesterday’s news that UConn’s 2018 athletic revenue totaled $40 million, but their expenses came in at $80 million was an eye opener.

Tom Jurich built and saved our program - plain and simple. He still made some big blunders but the good far outweighed the bad.

Thank you Tom, let’s build the statue.

Go Cards!
