Pat Narduzzi's first call after getting hired as Pitt's head coach might not have been to Jordan Whitehead - that honor was likely reserved for family or close friends - but the Central Valley standout likely wasn't far behind.
"I didn't know him, but when he got hired, he gave me a call the first day and made sure I was still interested," Whitehead told Panther-Lair.com.
Whitehead, the No. 1 prospect in Pennsylvania for the class of 2015, was an understandable priority for Narduzzi. He had committed to the Panthers over offers from virtually every school in the country, and his final selection came down to Pitt, West Virginia, Ohio State and Penn State.
Whitehead was the centerpiece of Pitt's recruiting class, and holding onto his commitment was arguably - or inarguably - Narduzzi's number-one recruiting objective.
