The 2011-2012 Basketball Season will be Cardinal Season

                Well, fellow bloggers, benchers, bleachers, fans, whatever you wish to be called; it is official that the Louisville Cardinals have lost their chance for championship gold. Fans are disappointed, babies are crying, and Morehead State is laughing their heads off at the so called, Cinderella Team of the season. This does not matter though, for there is always next season, and what a season it should be! You see, the Louisville Cardinals will take home gold next season for various reasons, whether it be their defense or their depth, but the main reason is their recruiting class. The Cardinals have Wayne Blackshear coming in, who is a major factor in his high-school team’s offense, and can easily take Preston Knowles’ place as main offensive three-point shooter.  We have Chane Behanan who is another great player, and is a power forward (big man), which is great for the Cardinals because they need more big man to win games. Finally we have a fantastic center named Zach Price coming in, someone who can easily replace Jennings in the years to come. Two of these players, Chane Behanan and Wayne Blackshear, are McDonalds All-Americans and all three of them are in the ESPNU 100.
                Now, add those factors in, along with returning players from this year such as: Kyle Kuric, Peyton Siva, Terrence Jennings, Gourgie Dieng, Mike Marra, Elisha Justice, Chris Smith Steven Van Tresse, and a returning Jared Swopshire. With a team looking like that, there is no telling what they can accomplish next year; who knows, they might even get a possible number one seed in the tournament next year. This roster is made of very consistent and athletic players, who will mainly look to press in order to force turnovers, similar to this year’s team. The difference is, next season’s team will be better on offense and possibly defense. This is a great thing for Louisville and with all my heart I hope that they do something big next year. Good luck Cards, and think you for the great season!

  1. Great news on the up and coming recruiting class!!

    Louisville still had a great Season....should have gone farther but one game series anyone can win. I would be willing to bet if they played them again they would defintely win.
    I think the high altitude bothered both teams and really Morehead did not look that great but Louisville just seemed out of snyc.
    Great job Agent Mulder...Keep it up..
    Your biggest Fan!
