This is getting a tad absurd.

About the only missing from Charlie Strong's 2012 recruiting class was a commitment from a running back. That changed on Monday when Miami RB Brandon Radcliff pledged his allegiance to Strong and U of L.

Radcliff, a big-bodied back who stands 5-10, 215-pounds, had offers from Michigan State, Maryland and Cincinnati, among others. He is rated as the 45th-best running back in the country by Rivals.com.

Here's your newest Cardinal in action:

The only bad thing about this commitment is that it comes right before a Louisville basketball game, which has been the kiss of death for the bball Cards in recent weeks. Thank God Strong has already almost filled the class out.
