New Louisville head coach Scott Satterfield and his coaching staff have pulled scholarship offers from at least three recruits, just days before the signing period.
One recruit already had his dorm assignment for the Spring semester at Louisville.
So far, Louisville has pulled scholarship offers from LaRue Countyathlete Anthony Adkins, Franklin-Simpson guard Jack Randolph and Camden (NJ) wide receiver Stanley King.
Check out these comments via the Courier-Journal:
Randolph said he received a call from recruiting staffer Pete Nochta, who informed him that “they were just looking to go in a different direction offensive line-wise, and told me I didn’t have the length or the weight to play in their system, so they pulled their scholarship,” Randolph said.
After the news Sunday night, a parent of another prospect said, “The answer that was given to (recruits) was they’re trying to go in a totally different direction than anything Bobby Petrino wanted or had going on. So basically they’re cutting them? Because Petrino recruited them?”
“We were told from somebody at Louisville that all of the commits that were still there were going to have their scholarship hold up, no matter what happened with the new coach,” Randolph said.
Randolph added:
“I haven’t even talked to the new head coach,” Randolph said. “He’s never called, so I have no clue what he thinks.”
One parent said one of the other prospects already had a dorm room assignment and move-in date for early January. As late as Sunday morning, Louisville’s coaching staff affirmed plans for the commits to take official visits next weekend.
Now, they must find new schools with just over a week until the early signing period and two months until the February option.
