Louisville is the latest school to offer four-star quarterback Mac Jones, a class of 2017 prospect who just so happens to be committed to arch-rival Kentucky.

As you might expect, the hashtags there at the end elicited a number of extreme reactions from a handful of Big Blue Nation members, prompting Jones to explain to the Courier-Journal: "I want to respect them for offering me. I know it's a good rivalry and all, but I don't think anybody has to be too worried or anything like that."
Jones won the national Rivals Quarterback Challenge last weekend, and holds a scholarship offer from Alabama, among many others.
I'm not sure whether or not Louisville is anything resembling a legitimate contender to steal Jones away from Kentucky, but regardless, I definitely don't hate this move.
