D. J. Shoemate, a 6-foot, 225-pound fullback, is the latest to transfer from USC (Southern California) since NCAA sanctions were announced. He’s headed to UConn with two seasons of eligibility.

According to Scout.com, Shoemate came out of high school as the eighth-ranked wide receiver with a five-star rating. Motivation for transferring to Connecticut was to play tailback. [/stextbox]

    1. Basketball is a great sport but, admit it, people who only follow basketball are not cool. Not quite a girly thing but pretty close to it.

    2. Yep, as you’ll see this year…a LOT of people care about U of L football, 4 season tickets here. GO CARDS!
