Stealing Speed

Traveon Samuel (an all-purpose back) is one of the top 20 high school football players in the state of Alabama who has a scholarship offer from both Alabama AND Auburn. Players with this type of resume hardly ever the leave the state and yet Louisville coach, Bobby Petrino, has somehow enticed this dude up to the bluegrass state. My guess is that he's probably banking on playing time but in any event, all of this talk about Coach Petrino being too toxic to recruit quality players, that doesn't seem to be the case, now does it?
