I love this class this is the type of class we have our best teams with. The best players in the state mixed in with good players from across the country.
A lot of people are complaining about this class. I dont understand why. This isn’t worse than usual, and if the coaches think these guys are good fits, so be it. Welcome to the Ville, guys!
At some point people have to understand recruiting the HS ranks are completely changed for Louisville. I like their approach. It is smart and well thought out. They are bringing in smaller classes but they are guys they think can contribute pretty fast.
Keep in mind in a 25 member class by the end of 4 years that class is probably down to 10. Most of that 15 never saw the field. With a 15 member class the attrition may not be as high.
This is a win now approach. The portal gives them the best chance to compete now. It frees up money in their limited budget.
Now that may change again over time when players don’t have all the leverage.
