Words that stuck out: Family, culture, leadership
Nice to see a coach with positive body language and speaking in full sentences with an upbeat tone. Mostly being honest about what he was asked.
Players are buying in and I can't wait for the start of spring practice

No more slouched posture and speaking in clipped, broken sentences.

Coach Satterfield's press conference will be carried LIVE here: http://www.790krd.com/listen

I'll be posting updates on this thread as he speaks.

Here are some links for you:

When Scott Satterfield got to Louisville, the UofL roster only had 8 scholarship offensive linemen on it. His priority in recruiting? Change that number in a hurry. LINK: https://louisville.rivals.com/news/louisville-s-2019-targeted-beef

Louisville was looking to add a home run threat at running back for the 2019 class and decided that Jalen Mitchell was their man. LINK: https://louisville.rivals.com/news/...ives-insight-on-his-decision-to-sign-with-ul-

ESPN reports he's signed.

I am home sick today, the negative temps up here have been killing me, but I digress.Being home I was able to watch the signing day show on Episs pn and I was watching the kids pick Alabama and LSU and it got me thinking. 1) if you were a top ranked WR why would you pick LSU when they have not had a QB in (fill in the blank). 2) do you guys see picking Alabama as a cop out to being handed an ring?We know that all the stars next to your name mean nothing to Sabin its all about winning a chip.I just got to thinking how many kids with four and five stars next to their names never see the field at Alabama, when they could have chosen some where else and started right away or gotten some playing time.

Sec 126 on the goal line (no players blocking view) The game is different when you are that close.

I don’t subscribe or even look at much football recruiting sites. Any chance we have a shot at any grad transfer QB’s? JUCO’s?

This quick piece by Kyle Boone at CBS is good at comparing some of the basketball scandal outcomes...at this point. It keys on Arizona to start and is based on a Yahoo piece.

Notably, in the reference to our poster child program, Boone says this:

"To this point, only one head coach -- Rick Pitino, who simply couldn't survive another scandal at Louisville -- has lost their job as a result of the scandal. Kansas, USC, NC State, Oregon, Oklahoma State, DePaul, LSU, Auburn, South Carolina, Louisville and Creighton have, at one time or another, been mentioned in the case. Assistant coaches named in the case at Auburn, OSU, USC and Arizona all lost their jobs; head coaches at those programs all remain in place."

To celebrate BHM, Adidas has created a new uniform for us to wear. Could see these debut Saturday @ Florida State. I really like them. Hope to see them a lot this month.

UK’s signing list and again saw the 4 good looking prospects from Louisville. I understand that for this messed up year but that must not happen again. There were many but one of ex-CBP’s BIG recruiting mistakes was just not showing locals the same recruiting love and attention as out of state kids. JMO

Peace

.No specifics in the article.

"This is some wild college football news on a day that we’re all supposed to be focused on just the Super Bowl. I would pay a lot of money to know what was the final straw that broke the camel’s back in this situation."

How did they hold NCST to 24 points? Their defense was OK, but it was nothing special. And NCST is a pretty good offensive team. Real head scratcher.

Nm...

I thought it was funny but I watched a few minutes of the sUcK vs Florida game and the Florida fans were harassing Washington. They were chanting they didn't know sUcK had classes for sophomores.

I know this has been done in the past.. just glad it’s continuing.

for fan attire games? UofL loses Saturday’s white out, Va Tech loses in their black out tonight. Granted no one is scheduling those events vs. SW Missouri St. but it sure seems like the home team loses 50%+ of those contests.

Scrap ‘em I say!

Incredible article about FB scholarship offers. Louisville mentioned twice. Numbers that are almost unbelievable!

Louisville has handed out 2,591 FB Scholarship offers since 2012. Second most in all Colleges. Tennessee was #1.

Long Article. Read down at least to the Graph. Simply Unbelievable! You have to scroll over the various teams to see Louisville right under Tennessee.

"Recruiting’s Biggest Bait-and-Switch: The Uncommittable Scholarship Offer"

"The average Power 5 program hands out roughly 200 more scholarship offers than it can follow through on during a recruiting cycle,"

"In what is believed to be a first for a college program, Louisville hit the 400-offer mark in 2017,"

"The Volunteers lead all major college programs in offers over this eight-year stretch (328 per year), followed by Louisville (323), Kentucky (291), Ole Miss (290) and Illinois (283). Rounding out the top 10 are Mississippi State (278), Nebraska (270), Indiana (268), Syracuse (254) and West Virginia (251)."

"There’s a reason the sport’s bluebloods are missing from the top 10. The schools passing out the most and earliest offers are typically secondary programs in competitive conferences. “They’ve got to get in early to beat the big dogs,” Simmons says. “Others try to create the narrative, ‘We don’t offer as many kids, so ours mean more!’ But that’s really hard to do.” While powerhouses may get to be more selective, some schools don’t have a choice."

Hearing TE Dez Melton might have committed to the Cards. Would be a good get for CSS since TE is one of the highlighted positions of need.

His highlights are pretty impressive, FYI.

1. Virginia 8 - 1 20 - 1 W 4

2. Duke 7 - 1 19 - 2 W 5
North Carolina 7 - 1 17 - 4 W 5

4. Louisville 8 - 2 17 - 6 W 1

5. Syracuse 7 - 2 16 - 6 W 2

6. Virginia Tech 7 - 3 18 - 4 L 1

7. Florida State 4 - 4 16 - 5 W 3

8. NC State 4 - 5 16 - 6 L 2

9. Clemson 3 - 5 13 - 8 W 2

10. Georgia Tech 3 - 6 11 - 11 L 3

11. Boston College 2 - 6 11 - 9 L 2

12. Notre Dame 2 - 7 12 - 10 W 1
Pitt 2 - 7 12 - 10 L 5

14. Miami 1 - 8 9 - 12 L 5
Wake Forest 1 - 8 8 - 13 L 5

I believe the best win of the season. After this past Saturday our guys could have packed it in but they worked up the courage to work very hard to RE-prove themselves again. CCM did a great job getting them ready for this very tough away game.

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

Good work Vince!
