Friday afternoon Cardinal news and notes

—Louisville Report has a full evaluation of new WR commit William Fowles.

—In a gift from the summer “sports” gods, a feud between John Calipari and Mark Stoops erupted Thursday after Stoops took issue with Calipari referring to Kentucky repeatedly as a “basketball school.”

Stoops then retweeted multiple tweets taking issue with Calipari’s comments, including one which characterized Cal’s quote as “insulting.” You then had active and former UK football players tweeting insults directly to Calipari (including a nice handful of Saint Peter’s jokes), as well as legends of the program standing up for Cal and backing up his claim that basketball should and will always come first at Kentucky.

It’s just been nice to be on the other side of this for the last 24 hours or so.

“House Divided: UK Basketball/UK Football” flags coming soon.

—Scott Satterfield hit the transfer portal hard in the offseason, and several of his new additions have been standouts during fall camp.

—The CJ’s Alexis Cubit recaps some of what Satterfield had to say to the media before last night’s annual kickoff event at the Galt House.

On who’s stood out so far: ”Offensively, Tiyon Evans has really stood out in this camp. Everyday I feel like he’s been making plays. He had a big long run on the day we tackled, you know, right up the middle, which is a big, powerful run for about 60 (yards). I think he’s really stood out. (Dee) Wiggins has had a great camp for us. He had a really good summer, too. He’s one of the more improved guys from the spring ‘til now. When you think about just, you know, guys that are newcomers. I think, you know, Huddy’s (Tyler Hudson) got a lot of a lot of pub anyway, but he’s had a solid camp.

I think on the defensive side of the ball, Jermayne (Lole) came in and was dinged a little bit this summer, but he’s fine. The last three or four practices has really shown up. Big, physical presence up front and at the nose position. Really showing a lot of quickness. Excited about him, what he’s gonna be able to bring to the defense. Probably the biggest thing is the secondary with the newcomers that we’ve been able to bring in. (Jarvis) Brownlee has had a tremendous camp so far, brings a great deal of confidence. He’s just a very aggressive corner. We knew that coming in, based on his film, but he’s really shown that. He’s a great teammate, brings a great attitude. We love having him around. And Quincy (Riley), the other day, had two picks at practice yesterday. He’s probably got the best ball skills of anybody in the secondary. Couple that with some great speed. He really had some nice couple plays yesterday that really stood out, I think.

Momo Sanogo’s leadership has been probably one of the things that you didn’t know when you’re taking a transfer, but he’s been a tremendous leader on that side. Really, I say on the defense, but I think our whole team, which is remarkable for a guy that’s only been here since January. He’s fun to be around. I love being around him. He’s the type of guy that anybody wants on their business, and he just brings that, it’s an infectious energy that he brings every single day and it’s positive. It’s just really fun to be around him.”

—Allow me to say it again: Tiyon Evans is winning the Heisman.

“Tiyon has really stood out in this camp,” Satterfield said. “Every day he has been making plays. He had a big long run on the first day we tackled, a big powerful run right up the middle for about 60 (yards). He’s stood out.”

The 5-foot-11, 220-pound Evans is one of the top transfers for the Cardinals heading into this season. He left Tennessee after one season and six touchdowns in seven games, enrolling at Louisville back in January and going through spring practice.

Evans is battling with Jalen Mitchell, Trevion Cooley, and Jawhar Jordan for playing time.

But so far, Satterfield said Evans has just been ‘different.’ A former four-star prospect out of Hutchinson Community College, Evans was ranked as the No. 3 JUCO player in the country and the top running back from the JUCO ranks in the Class of 2021.

“He’s just got a great combination of size and speed,” Satterfield said. “He’s very compact, he’s built low to the ground, wide body.

“Usually, when guys are built like that they are a little slower but he’s got the burst and that’s just different. Us coaches we are watching and it’s kind of like he’s just different. And that’s what it is, there are not many guys that are built like that and can run that fast. For him, it’s just a matter of hitting holes in the proper area, making your proper footwork and steps you need to make and he’s done a good job with that and he’s picked up blitzes pretty well. He’s becoming a complete player.”
