The Cats were the benefit of some over-recruiting at Alabama and landed a really good running back and that helped. Also, each site has its own ranking system based on points but they award points differently. Louisville ended up signing six 4 star recruits, three of them were linebackers, one safety and one corner. There was a huge need at linebacker and the secondary and they filled it with studs. They also signed five offensive linemen, which was also a big need. Two of these guys have d-1 size already, 6'5'' 310 and 6'5''320. They also may have gotten the steal of the year with Florida running back Brandon Radcliff. He was a late developing player who really didn't shine until his senior year and he looks like he is going to be a stud. Good size and great speed. His commitment cost U of L getting Anthony Wales of Central. As most here know, he was a kid I wanted for selfish reasons because he played basketball for me when he was young and I really think a lot of him and his mother.

Kentucky has two 4 star players and 15 three star players. They also have more kids signed which helps their ranking. They have more players, but they are not as highly regarded as some of the Louisville players

Btw, I would say the joke is still on Joker, because the in-state kids that don't go to Louisville are starting to head to WKU to play for coach Taggart. I look for WKU to be the second best program in the state behind Louisville very soon.
