National Signing Day, Louisville Recruiting: Herron And Sibiea Sign Without Issue

DeAndre Herron and Pedro Sibiea, two linemen who had been rumored to be wavering in the days lating up to national signing day, both signed with U of L without issue on Wednesday.

Sibiea had recently visited Minnesota and at one point was even rumored by some to have become a Gopher-lean. Herron, and Indiana native, was offered a scholarship by IU at the last second and had been briefly considering staying home in the Hoosier State.

But with the time to decide upon them, both are officially bound for The Ville.

One final note: Central running back Anthony "Ace" Wales will be announcing his future plans this afternoon at 1:30. Wales, the leading rusher in the history of Jefferson County, is reportedly deciding between Louisville (where he will be asked to greyshirt because of his shoulder injury) and Western Kentucky.

A lot of folks seem to think he'll be a Hilltopper, but Jody Demling said his coach told him just last night that he'd be shocked if Wales didn't choose U of L and greyshirting.

Was he a Uk prospect?

Maybe he pulled a Marquis Teague

Are we expected to finish up in the Top 25?

I know we were there before signing day, but when it’s all said and done rankings change up a bit.

Depends

on which set of rankings you believe. It’s all so silly. ESPN, Rivals, Scout… they all use very different measuring sticks. And then they change their ratings based on where a guy ends up. That’s ridiculous. So really, I’m happy with anybody Louisville lands because Charlie Strong saw something he liked in the guy. Who am I to 2nd guess the man?

this is not correct

Demling just tweeted he signed with WKU

sounds like he got his feelings hurt...

“If charlie strong is going to keep going to florida to get players, us louisville players are going to go to wku”. Then his highschool said “he went where he was wanted”. I’m sorry but he had an offer for over a year… he was wanted. He waited too long to make his decision and we moved on. I wish the kid luck.

I don't understand the rankings at all

We average a higher number of stars than teams ranked ahead of us on scout and rivals. I just don’t get it. I also don’ understand how other team haul in so much talent. Alabama with 3 five star recruits, 13 four star recruits, and 11 three star recruits. What has Alabama ever done other than get blown out to Louisville in the 1991 Fiesta Bowl?

Well keep in mind

A lot of those teams have more “commits” than us. Some are over committed. I think Miami had 31 “commits” as of yesterday and we know they can only commit 25 players this season. There are some exceptions on back filling (i.e. only signed 23 players last year so you can sign 27 this year) but certain criteria has to be met.
