Louisville Football coach Scott Satterfield had a very clear message about recruiting when he took the job in December. He wanted to get guys that fit into his vision for the program from a football skill standpoint as well as a character standpoint. He then made the decision not to honor the scholarship offers for multiple recruits who committed to the previous staff. In essence, he decided to start almost completely from scratch to fill a recruiting class that would have to address glaring needs. Satterfield’s approach to his first class was the right one and Louisville’s 2014 class shows why.
Louisville’s 2014 recruiting class shows us why the 2019 recruiting strategy was the correct one.
