Zack Gilbert announces his commitment in a couple minutes, and considering he was supposedly a Pitt shoe-in and the mystery recruit is supposed to announce today, we're guessing it's him. He's a strong & explosive 4* DE/DT, so that's great!
Unfortunately because of the wait and fans kinda assuming we already had him, Gilbert being the mystery recruit feels a bit like a let-down. That's a shame because we're all happy to have him, but I guess that's why expectations can be a MFer. Adding any high-profile player is wonderful for Pitt, and one that comes from an area we don't normally recruit strongly is doubly nice since it will hopefully pay dividends in future recruiting in that part of the country.
Welcome Zack, can't wait to watch you terrorize opposing backfields for years!
