Uug! The Ville loses.... David Padget, Juan Palacios, Derrick Caracter, Earl Clark, Terrance Williams. It could be a much tougher season next year. I know we have some good freshman coming in, but dang!

Wasn't award T-Will had joined the fray...yeah, we'll miss each and everyone....but what can I say? Bring on the new kids.

I haven't heard either that Terrance Williams was leaving for sure; he's just testing the waters right now, but who knows.

Clark was a big loss; with his announcement we went from a possible pre-season 10-15 ranked team to out of the ranking picture.

I really thought this year was our National Championship run. Pitino will be going into his 8th season here at UofL (he spent 8 seasons at Kentucky), and I just don't know why he hasn't been able to at least approach what he did at kittyland.

Louisville has just as good of commitment, fan support, facilities, and everything else needed, but whether from transfers, injuries, recruits never showing up.......Pitino just hasn't been able to put together top-notch teams other then one here and there.

A Final Four and an Elite Eight in seven seasons is pretty good. I want more, but we've been pretty good. I am happy as a Cardinal fan.

I thought it was odd that Caracter and Clark were still in school attending classes. Now I know why! Clark has decided to stay at UofL and play next season!!! Caracter, I'm not so sure, but I bet he'll come back to. That makes a big difference for The Ville basketball.

UL will have to be careful about the APR rating if they continue to leave in mass before graduating. It's great to have the talent but now its a much more difficult situation if they all leave early. I'm sure Pitino will figure it out though ...
