In the least surprising news of the day, James Quick has decided to take his talents about 10 minutes down the Watterson Expressway to the University of Louisville. Kentucky’s staff tried to make headway with Quick since coming to Lexington, but Louisville’s hometown pull was too much to overcome.
Interestingly enough, the website Cardinal Dominance also reported a few hours before Quick’s decision that Trinity High teammate Jason Hatcher will be joining Quick at Louisville next season as well, although no official word has come from Hatcher himself. Hatcher, a USC commitment, also holds offers from Florida and Alabama and will be visiting Kentucky next weekend to take a tour of campus and facilities. Defensive Coordinator D.J. Eliot and Mark Stoops have tried their hardest to land one of the state’s best prospects to shore up the defensive line and seemed to be making headway, but if this story turns out to be true then the ‘Cats may have lost another one to that school down I-64. It should be noted though that Hatcher still has official visits planned to Kentucky (January 12th) and Florida (January 25th) before Signing Day so until the word is spoken from the man himself, the race for his services isn’t over.
Who knows, this football recruiting stuff is confusing.

January 5th, 2013 at 3:43 pm
I – 65?
January 5th, 2013 at 3:44 pm
So now he’ll have 2 high school degrees.
January 5th, 2013 at 3:45 pm
Yeah, would expect Hatcher to go to UL. They’re hot right now (I think I just threw up in my mouth), and I can’t blame these kids. Until Stoops proves anything Strong, unfortunately for us UK fans, has the upper hand…

2. Some say football is a game of inches, but blogging is a game of centimeters. Duly noted
January 5th, 2013 at 3:48 pm
No way I’d choose UL over Ohio State, Florida, or Alabama even if it were close to my family.
January 5th, 2013 at 3:49 pm
Things looking up for strong. I hope he’s not cheating, that Hurt/bridgewater thing in Miami.
January 5th, 2013 at 3:54 pm
I was at least hoping to see a blue UK hat on the table to choose from. You know, to show we have been working hard on the recruiting front. Instead an Oregon hat was there. I don’t think they would even allow one of our hats to be televised on national television for football recruits. It makes me sick to my stomach. I can not wait until Bud Depree lays into Quick across the middle. Then I might feel better. September can’t come “quick” enough!
January 5th, 2013 at 3:55 pm
If our staff had more time with these guys it may have been a different story, but its too far into the recruiting process. We will see what happens next year.
January 5th, 2013 at 3:58 pm
Quick just committed career suicide. He will rot in CUSA 2.0, LOSERVILLE has reached its peak and the only way is down from here. UK on the other hand is up and coming and will make some serious noise in the SEC in the years to come. He could have played against the best in the country had he come to UK. LOSERVILLE is a joke
January 5th, 2013 at 4:01 pm
I watched Quick dominate Derek Willis in basketball last season… and he is about 7 or 8 inches shorter then Willis
January 5th, 2013 at 4:01 pm
Good players don’t want to go to uk, aka, the anal canal of college football.
January 5th, 2013 at 4:07 pm
10. Billy you need a reality check
January 5th, 2013 at 4:09 pm
#8. What makes you think there should have been a UK hat sitting on the table? Quick has barely uttered the word Kentucky in his recruiting process. UK had NO shot at him. Don’t let Matt Jones’ hopeful (or maybe hypeful) reporting blind you. Open your eyes and look around. Stoops may have some better players VISITING, meanwhile the other schools have even better players COMMITTING.
January 5th, 2013 at 4:10 pm
10 – I’m a UK fan but also a realist. First of all, if Quick is good enough the NFL will know it whether he plays for Alabama or Alcorn State. And I doubt that Louisville has reached its peak. The ACC is not the SEC, but Florida State, Clemson and Virginia Tech are not chopped liver. And it’s way to soon to say that we are “up and coming”. I hope we can eventually be competitive in the SEC but we have a long way to go.
January 5th, 2013 at 4:15 pm
It will take Stoops & Co. a while to make progress in-state. Joker put us into the abyss.
January 5th, 2013 at 4:20 pm
I’d say beating Florida was an I opener for a lot of people. The only rebuttal to that is this.Do you want to play against the best teams in the country once a year or do you want to compete against them week in and week out? The SEC is such a hot commodity right now I don’t see why everyone doesn’t want to play in the league.
January 5th, 2013 at 4:31 pm
With the NCAA investigation still going on, Bridewater will be declared ineligible, and UL will will have to forfeit everything so it’s really irrelevant what UL does. UL should have really cut Coach Hurtt lose
January 5th, 2013 at 4:32 pm
LOSERVILLE would do no better in the SEC than UK has in the last 10 years. Yes they beat Fla but they wouldnt have beat them if they played them after 4 or 5 SEC games like when we play them. They would be so beat up they would have lost worse than we did. Enjoy playing in front of 20,000 fans Mr not so Quick!
January 5th, 2013 at 4:35 pm
Barnhart decided to invest in football 10 years too late. Passed on Strong as well before hiring Brooks.
January 5th, 2013 at 4:44 pm
EAT IT BBN……Fans like #19 is who supports your Hillbilly asses. Wise THE f#$k up or you all will all end up like “Little Billy” LMAO…Little Billy is why the whole Nation laughs @ your fan base..
January 5th, 2013 at 4:47 pm
Actually BBN is the premier fan base in America. Their are more UK fans in Jefferson Co than LOSERVILLE fans, your fanbase is a complete joke just like your athletic department. Your a idiot just like Mr no so Quick!
January 5th, 2013 at 4:48 pm
@21, the entire nation laughed at your trashy fanbase the entire Sugar Bowl.
January 5th, 2013 at 4:51 pm
LOSERVILLE fans live off my tax dollars. Look at the stats, your fanbase is 90% made up of ghetto people in the west end that live off the governments. Get a job you bum BBN is tired of all our tax dollars going to LOSERVILLE
January 5th, 2013 at 4:55 pm
21) you must be from the east end of Louisville. Outside of the east end of Louisville there is nothing but “Hillbilly” asses. The ones from preston and dixie highway had to refinance their homes just to pay for tickets to the sugar bowl. The whole “Hillbilly”remark is kind of old and worn out. Newsflash… if you are from KY the whole nation thinks we are all “Hillbillies.” Although there are not many in the east end of Louisville. They call those people from the east end of Louisville along with the horse industry in lexington “classy people.” You enjoy the crown royals and black and millds while we enjoy fine bourbon and cigars. If Lexington if for the birds. Then Louisville is for the first 48.
January 5th, 2013 at 4:58 pm
No doubt he will go there. He is being paid out of the Owsley Brown Frazier Trust fund!
January 5th, 2013 at 5:03 pm
22 – “Their” are more UK fans…??? “Your a” idiot??? Maybe need to look in the mirror.
I was one of those 25,000 “joke” Card fans at the Superdome. Where were the Gator fans? And remind me again what bowl your guys played in?
23 – Define “trashy” please? I have an MBA and hung out with engineers, attorneys and physicians. I have replayed the game several times and saw lots of fans that looked a whole lot like the fans at every other bowl game.
January 5th, 2013 at 5:04 pm
WHAT’S 300 FEET LONG & HAS TWO TEETH?….FRONT ROW OF A sUcK FOOTBALL GAME.
January 5th, 2013 at 5:04 pm
Quick and Hatcher were going to UL the whole time. All the adopt a rock sponsors are Louisville alumnus.
January 5th, 2013 at 5:09 pm
What is wrapped around 34th and broadway a mile long wearing the colors of red and black? The Louisville fan unemployment line.
January 5th, 2013 at 5:09 pm
27) trashy = white people trying to be ghetto
January 5th, 2013 at 5:11 pm
#24….You are the typical uneducated Hillbilly sUcK fan. Billy my friend you are nothing more than a “CUM DUMPSTER” in the back of an abortion clinic. Get back to the barn before somebody realizes that the best part of you run down yo Momma’s legs…
January 5th, 2013 at 5:16 pm
#30….typical response! In case you didn’t know it we support the whole state. Check it out Hillbilly! That’s right WE ARE THE ENGINE of the State…So are you the one of two people with a tooth ON THE FRONT ROW? LMAO….A GREAT DAY TO BE A CARD FAN….EAT IT BBN…
January 5th, 2013 at 5:26 pm
All caps and grammatical errors. I guess the Louisville taxpayers support you as well. I’m from the east end, not the front row. I have all my teeth as well. I also enjoy the first 48 episodes spotlighting the fine city of Louisville. This board just brings out the little brother syndrome in you. Also UK is recruiting recievers that are rated higher than quick. Eat it!
January 5th, 2013 at 5:42 pm
34 – It’s “receivers” not “recievers”…the old “i before e except after c” thing. They teach that here in Loserville. And good luck with that recruiting. Get back to me when you sign a couple of them.
January 5th, 2013 at 5:43 pm
Big Red Planet ROCKS….
January 5th, 2013 at 5:44 pm
UofL fan logic: We just signed a big recruit! Better go to KSR
Why?
January 5th, 2013 at 5:47 pm
34- The only red headed step child i see is Coach Stoops.It looks like “little brother” has out grown big brother. Well if Coach Stoops defense is anything like his brothers you guys are in for a long ride. HAHA……
January 5th, 2013 at 5:52 pm
UofL fan logic: Texas A&M whooped Oklahoma last night, and Mark Stoops’ brothers coach Oklahoma. Suck it UK fans!!
January 5th, 2013 at 5:57 pm
Red on the Head like a D@#k on a Dog…..
January 5th, 2013 at 5:57 pm
37 – Because it’s a slow sports day, no basketball, and you guys are such easy targets.
January 5th, 2013 at 6:00 pm
32 why you gotta bring abortion clinics in this? I love them!
January 5th, 2013 at 6:01 pm
41 you’re here every day. Because you need our validation. Its sad but amusing.
January 5th, 2013 at 6:14 pm
Little Brother…That’s right 6’5″ 275 & the Richest Athletic Dept. in the country. Looks like Little Brother has done shot passed Big Brother & now pisses down his neck. Yeah…that has been that warm sensation you have had for a while BBN….Get used to it. Oh yeah before I sign off for the night don’t forget to read all about the BIG RED PLANET in the paper tomorrow.
January 5th, 2013 at 6:58 pm
44 you can have current success all you want Id rather have HISTORY. Its not about what you do today its about what you did yesterday and UK has OWNED LOSERVILLE since the beginning of time
January 5th, 2013 at 7:23 pm
46 Billy so you’re saying you’re happier with being bad now because you were good when it didn’t matter? lol well were gonna keep being good now keep your racist history filled with scandal. trailer trash is all you are.
January 5th, 2013 at 7:26 pm
No what Im saying is yea you beat us this year in basketball football but we have more titles in both basketball and football than you and own you in the head to head in both
January 5th, 2013 at 7:36 pm
thats great and all lol. keep your history Im gonna watch my team be good NOW.
January 5th, 2013 at 7:48 pm
Your not listening to what Im saying son, it dont matter you would have to be good for 100 years while UK would have to suck to have a better athletic program than us because LOSERVILLE SUCKS AND THEIR FANS ARE GHETTO WEST END LIVERS. Thats the only part of the state that is not BBN a small silber of Jefferson county that is known as the west end you can have it. Its the part of the state that gives Kentucky a bad name and a bad reputation!
January 5th, 2013 at 9:15 pm
Calm down a little! Blew past? Really! UL pulled out a tight regular season game and you passed us by really! Incase you missed it we just got #8!
Strong has UL football in a good place I agree. Other then football UK is still on top. UK will have a loaded basketball team next year, so UL better due all they can this year. No way UL wins it all this year anyway. IU has both of us covered this year!
January 6th, 2013 at 9:34 am
You LOSERS really thought you had a prayer??????????????????? I want to play for a team that can play in the BCS,not the Music City Bowl every 6-8 years!!
I WILL enjoy crushing your Pop Warner League team though!!
And Hatcher is NOT signing with Trailer Trash U!!!!
The ‘Ville wins the Sugar while Toothless in Lessington watches spider webs increase in the bleachers.
January 6th, 2013 at 11:09 am
Louisville football future rests solely and completely on the shoulders of Bridgewater. Hope he’s up to it.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:24 pm
#52 Well, Bridgewater WAS up to ripping a teams azzhole that yew kay has not beat in 27 years…
January 6th, 2013 at 12:28 pm
#18 Crawl back under your beer can on wheels and sleep of the Meth and Oxycontin….you are talking STUPID.
January 6th, 2013 at 12:34 pm
Geez these trolls are starting to get a little out of hand, no point in comin to the comment section it’d jus a bunch of UL fans bragging about the sugar bowl win and a bunch of us patronizing them, Matt can we just start a site for them so they have somewhere to discuss line beard proportions and what not
January 6th, 2013 at 12:45 pm
You wanna talk about Spider webs in the bleachers? Didn’t your own coach call your fanbase out for not showing up? And that’s in a 2 loss season. Granted, we didn’t show up this year, but we dominate yall in attendance every year! And fyi, we beat yall in football 4 straight times before the last 2 years. And we have won 7 out of last 10 in basketball. So passed us up? Dream on!
