Around SBN: 2011 In Extreme Home Runs

The Kragthorping Continues

Louisville, I don't know how to make this any clearer, but, we own you.  We own you like Santonio Holmes owns the sidelines.  We own you like Siegfried owns Roy. We own you like like Lost owns Heroes.  I'm sorry, I'm not any happier about it than you are.  It's destiny or something.  I apologize, there's nothing I can do to change it.

The latest example?  Verbally-committed Louisville recruit Brandon Sharpe changed his mind over the weekend and will sign with the Orange today.  Sharpe is a 6-foot-2, 215 pound linebacker from Virginia Beach (profile here).   Sharpe joins high school teammate Shamarko Thomas on the Orange and I'm guessing that had a lot to do with it. Thomas had previously committed to Louisville as well.

Check out Sharpe below (H/T: Donnie).  And Louisville, if I were you I'd keep your remaining recruit list locked in a vault where we can't find it.

siegfried?

kinda like hans und franz but with a adam and steve “twist”? actually, i think peta the animal rights fanatics are hot on their trail. in all due respect, kragthorpe was left with a total mess after the previous coach left, the one at arkansas. who lasted one year at the atlanta falcons. but u gotta wonder what happened to the big time pipeline they had into florida hs talent, like rutgers has. however, they dont have the same hs talent in south ind and ky as u know who has in joi-sey".. adn

louisville talent?

 and considering how some of the louisville talent" has ended up in the past couple o f years, the only folks interesested in unearthing the list in the vault could well be the polezi?

Not sure

If it’s a talent issue or coaching issue with Louisville. They fell like a stone after Petrino left, and a lot of the same players were still there. I mean, Kraglethorpe must be a terrible coach – Greg Robinson got the best of him TWICE!!!!!!

Err.

Kragthorpe, not Kraglethorpe. Whatever his name is, he’s terrible.

When there is a coaching transition

The coach has to win over the players who have a loyalty to the guy who recruited them. You could have all Americans just mailing it in because they dont want to play for the new guy. Its a mental thing. There was a reason for all the defections.

UofL has talent, they beat USF right? They were likely self motivated for that game. However games v lowly SU when the coach is trying to fire them up, they are likely brush it off.

WHY‽

Look guys, as long as we’re being led by Kragthorpe, you will defeat us. As long as you’re stealing the few players who are interested in playing in Louisville, we won’t build a recruiting class and we’ll lose to everyone!

On second thought, if we lose to everyone we’d just HAVE to get a new coach next season. Keep up the good work, Orange!

sans teeth.

Otto has teeth and thumbs; AND he is filled with an acidic substance much like the aliens in Aliens. Therefore is clearly superior.

Siegfried owns Roy?

I would say Roy is owned not by Siegfried but by Montecore (the tiger that attacked him).
