U of L's class is heavy on defense
This is really all you have to know.
U of L signed 15 defensive players and landed eight who played high school ball in Florida. The Cardinals' class is ranked No. 64 by Scout.com and No. 76 by Rivals.com, with only one player -- offensive lineman Joe Evinger -- ranked as a four-star prospect (out of five stars).
"I think a lot of these guys are highly, highly underrated," Kragthorpe said. "I'm not concerned where they are rated (now), but I am concerned on where they end up.
"I feel very, very good about (this class). I think this class is what we needed in terms of addressing some immediate needs and also addressing our needs in terms of some young players who can come in here and hopefully have a pretty quick impact for us and provide some depth."

He made his criteria for player selection too hard:
"We wanted players who were not afraid to stick their faces in the fan." Steve Kragthorpe

I'm sorry,
I’m sure that many of these kids are fine young men and good players. But I read Kragthorpe and that old feeling came back….we’re doomed.
