Louisville to Host Multiple Visitors Ahead of Early Signing Period
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Despite a stunning turnover at the head coaching position, the Louisville football program has done a good job at keeping their 2023 recruiting class intact up to this point. While they have lost a a couple commitments since Jeff Brohm was tabbed as their next head coach, the majority of their top-flight prospects in the cycle are still in the fold.
With the early signing period fast approaching, the Cardinals are putting together one last major recruiting weekend before it's time for prospects in both the high school ranks and the transfer portal to put pen to paper.
As of the morning of Friday, Dec. 16, 16 prospects have announced or have been reported that they will be taking official visits to campus this weekend. Several of the prospects will be taking their second official visit to Louisville, which NCAA rules permit should the program have a coaching change.
13 of this weekend's visitors are high school prospects in the Class of 2023, with 10 of them already committed to Louisville. The other three are Division I transfers.
This year's early signing period gets underway on Wednesday, Dec. 21 and lasts until Friday, Dec. 23.
