UK didn't offer Niang and we beat them for RW because the guy hated to fly
True but ISU's program is better now than when both those guys committed. Fred has put cyclones program on the the map for many recruits. ISU was in his top three before the MSU offer and l'villes visit thus, are going to be players in his recruitment. Plus, Louisville just offered another PF today, they have a plethora of bigs all ready in the program thus it may come down to a numbers thing anyway. So to answer the original question, I don't fear Louisville.
I understand the MBB recruitment is at a different level now and I expect going forward with most of the recruits CFH will be going against blue bloods. Lets enjoy the ride.
