March 7, 201313 yr The earlier report that Zeke had been kicked off the UL team was incorrect. He is listed as 2nd team TE on the spring practice depth chart.
March 7, 201313 yr The earlier report that Zeke had been kicked off the UL team was incorrect. He is listed as 2nd team TE on the spring practice depth chart. Is this a positive step?
March 7, 201313 yr Author Jody Demling @jdemling Watson said Louisville staff "saw (Zeke Pike) as a tight end. He's going to be fun to work with at tight end." Pike is a former 5 star QB.
March 7, 201313 yr If true, the this site owes Zeke an apology on this issue. I sure believed it and thought that it fit his MO. That's what you get for assumptions. Sorry.
March 7, 201313 yr He was re-instated a while ago. Zeke being a D1 player has never been an issue. Whether he could be a high level QB was debated, but never him being a D1 athlete. Zeke has great hands and will be a very nice target at TE. The question I have is if he can hit the weigh room enough to be able to Block DE's or blitzing Outside backers. If his psyche can accept it, being out of the QB spotlight might be just what he needs. It is my understandig he has been told no more chances. He has two strikes on him, and no room to even foul off pitches. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can start to climb out. Let's hope Zeke is climbing out.
March 7, 201313 yr Good luck to the young man. I hope he makes it. Montrell Jones did, when he transferred in from Tennessee.

The last time I saw him was late October at a Dixie game, he looked like he never saw a barbell.

Well what he did actually happened, and many speculated that he would be booted from the team. As it turns out, Coach Strong and UofL are giving him another chance.
March 9, 201313 yr I saw him a few weeks ago out at Dick's with Louisville football gear on from head to toe. I figured he wouldn't be sporting the gear had he been kicked off, at least I wouldn't. I've always said from day 1 that I thought he'd make a better TE. He has the size and hands. I never thought he had the mentality to play defense, as IMO, he was usually pretty soft when playing on the defensive side of the ball for Dixie, especially for a guy his size. Hopefully he has his head on straight, and the only thing we hear about him going forward is catching touchdowns for the Cardinals.

March 9, 201313 yr Tired of the Zeke Pike drama. Might be a better idea to just stop talking about him.
