** Tadarrius Patterson announced that he will be announcing his commitment on August 19th. While he does not currently have a top 3/5 he said Louisville “will definitely be in it”. Patterson added that “Louisville is a great place and I feel as I am ready to make a decision.” The athletic outside linebacker has offers from the likes of Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi State, and Auburn, just to name a few. UofL fans need to watch this one closely.

** 4* outside linebacker Josh Clarke recently landed a Louisville offer. The versatile prospect from New Orleans said regarding interest in UofL “I have interest in them always did”. He added that “The relationship with the coach ,education, great program and (it) depends on how many people committed at my position” as the main factors influencing his decision. What do the Louisville coaches thing of Clarke as a prospect? “They love my speed, my aggression in hitting, my play recongization, and that I can play sideline to sideline. They say I have the whole package.”

** I have made mention of it before but it bears repeating to keep an eye on Center Tyler Fannin. Fannin attends Mill Creek High School in Georgia, the same school where Louisville signee Robbie Bell attends. Fannin’s recruitment has taken off recently with recent offers from Virginia, Cincinnati, WKU, and Colorado state among others. Tyler maintains contact with the UofL coaching staff and while he does not currently hold an offer, one may be coming after spring ball.
