After Scott Satterfield took the Louisville football head coaching job back in December, one of the biggest priorities for him and his staff was rebuilding the recruiting class in 2019 – which fell apart towards the end of Bobby Petrino’s stay in the Ville.
After picking up commitments from Dorian Jones and Evan Conley during the early signing period things were beginning to look up for Satterfield, who had to answer the question of whether he would be able to recruit at the ACC level after moving from Appalachian State. At the time Satterfield had just Frank Ponce and Bryan Brown committed to joining his staff, meaning that the real recruiting would begin after the dead period ended and the holidays had past.
