I can't remember who asked me to do a rundown of what's left for Louisville recruiting, but thanks for the idea. It's a good time to take a look at the commits and who's still out there considering Louisville.
Already signed - JuCo midyear enrollees
DL Chris Williams
DB Ronald Walker
Hard commits - guys I see as very firm and expect them to sign with Louisville
OL Robbie Bell
LB/S PJ Blue - I don't think he's taking any visits. LD Scott did an in-home visit with him last week.
DE Micheal Boykin - recently said he's shutting down his recruitment, going to UofL
ATH Rodjay Burns - picked up an offer from Ohio State earlier this month, I'll monitor if he wavers or not
WR Seth Dawkins - legacy commit, said he might take official visits but I'm pretty certain he'll stick
OL James Dematto
DL Derek Dorsey
S Jaquelle Green
K Austin Johnson
QB Jawon Pass - officially visited Miss St in September, but I don't think he's seriously looking at other schools
LB Tabarius Peterson - haven't heard much here lately, should be sticking with UofL
DE Kordell Slater - recent commit, early enrollee guy
WR Chris Taylor-Yamanoha - added 4th star, solid commit
S Lamarques Thomas
DE Caleb Tillman - recently said he's shutting down his recruitment
WR Keion Wakefield
Soft commits - taking other visits, looking around
LB TJ Brunson - had no comment on his UofL official, I see him flipping to USCe
DB Baylen Buchanan - has always been open to other schools, but I think he ends up at UofL
TE Austin Cummins - he's looking at smaller schools, tells me UofL might be pushing him out of the class? Maybe.
QB Tylin Oden - I don't even know what to say at this point about Oden. Recent offer from Iowa State, seems that he wants to end up elsewhere
Malik Staples - I think UofL might be pushing him out of the class, I think depends on if they get another RB that they like more
Remaining targets - no specific order, click on name to see Rivals profile
RB CJ Freeman - officially visited UofL, but is sticking with USCe
RB Dae Williams - SMU commit, I don't think he'll end up at UofL. Card recently offered
RB Kingston Davis - Sticking with Michigan
WR Dez Fitzpatrick - decommitted from UofL after being committed for a year, there's a growing sense that he'll end up signing with UofL, but personally I don't think he will - just a gut feeling. Will OV to Louisville in January. Nebraska, Indiana, Arizona in the mix for him as well.
OG Dee Nalls - decommitted from Miss St, but I don't know how bad UofL wants him at this point
C Toleafoa Auwae - one of UofL's biggest remaining targets. Final 3 of Vandy, Hawaii, and UofL.. Will visit UofL in January. Right now I think he ends up at UofL. He already visited Vandy and he told me that he would like to leave Hawaii for college.
DE Jaquan Bailey - Recent Florida decommit, has been looking at UofL since the summer. Cards could snag him
LB Chris Baccus - I've been trying to reach Baccus to gauge his interest in UofL, but he hasn't gotten back to me. He officially visited last weekend. At this point, my guess is he ends up at UofL. I don't know who else he's looking at.
LB David Reese - Decommitted from Louisville several months ago to flip to Michigan. Then decommitted from Michigan a couple of months ago. Louisville was in the mix, but just committed to Florida. He won't end up at UofL.
LB Mike Pinckney - After Al Golden got fired, I thought UofL might have a good shot here, but it seems like he's sticking with Mark Richt.
LB Donta Evans - officially visited UofL last weekend, but it looks he's sticking with Ole Miss
LB Kapri Doucet - JuCo guy that is not a midyear enrollee. UofL recently offered and will officially visit in January. Good chance that the Cards land him, IMO.
CB Trayvon Mullen - Officially visited last weekend. Has a great relationship with Lamar Jackson and Terrell Buckley, but he'll end up at FSU most likely, if not them, then LSU or TCU
S Romeo Finley - RB coach Kolby Smith has been pushing hard for Finley lately. Has visited him at his school and for an in-home visit. Georgia Tech and USF are the competition for Louisville. I think if Louisville pushes hard for him and gets him on campus, then they can get him.
DT Julian Rochester - officially visited in December, but I'm pretty certain he'll stick with Georgia.
OT Paul Ramirez - UofL hasn't offered yet, but he's visiting UofL in January.
ATH McArthur Burnett - officially visited UofL in December, but looks like he's sticking with Florida.
WR Ahmmon Richards - I really have no idea. He officially visited UofL last weekend, but Cards have stingy competition to land him.
