Amari OV this weekend. Any updates on Derek Dixon or other '25 targets at this point?

I know he was highly recruited and considered a big get when we got him? Is he getting any PT at all? I know who is front of him, but would hate to see him enter the portal if he sees no future.

Expecting 11k plus apparently?

Nebraska swept Stanford 3-0 tonight. Assuming Pitt beats East Carolina Friday and Marquette Sunday......Pitt should be the unanimous number 1 team in the polls on Monday.

Take an inside look at Pitt's defense in the win over West Virginia with snap counts, pressure, targets and more.

Must have gotten the idea from my post

Mike Farrell on ESPNU radio. The show was talking about some of the SEC issues such as FLA coach future buyout issues, Ole Miss trying to retain Kiffin and Tennessee taxing ticket holders for next season. Talked about how athletic depts should have been saving all the $ they made the past decade or two so could better handle NIL and soon revenue sharing versus leaning on boosters. Rick Neuheisel mentioned Heather getting fired due to lack of fundraising and that’s when Farrell called us a poverty program. Tried to take a little step back and say at least when compared to Tennessee. Mentioned we play in an NFL stadium w/poor attendance that leads to other deficits like low concessions, etc. Dude sounded like a dick most of the interview. He even mentioned tongue in cheek that most fan bases hate him.

Wow.

Announcers on the ACCN?

Came upstairs playing the victory song on my phone. Told my almost 5-year old that my team won.

He high fives me and goes “No, daddy. Our team won.”

I’m so proud.

With momentum, improvement and a big stretch of the schedule coming up, Pitt just might be in the exact perfect spot right now. We're talking about how the season is shaping up for the Panthers on today's Morning Pitt.

Clemson appears to be the only P4 program actively rejecting the transfer portal as a means to acquire talent, with only 2 total portal additions in that past 4 years (Hunter Johnson in 2022 and Paul Tyson in 2023, both QBs).

They’re losing ~10 guys per season to the Portal and are just using bigger recruiting classes (very highly ranked) and walk-ons to fill out the roster.

“We like the guys we’ve got.” is Dabo’s response to questions about why they’re not more active in the Portal.

Clemson is very active in NIL and is choosing to spend it on retaining the players they like (see article below).

Q1. Can this work for Clemson?
Q2. Do we think Duzz would adopt this approach if Pitt’s recruiting was Top 20?

Tuesday night at 8:00 on the ACC Network.

reading the tea leaves he is the least likely QB to step foot on campus.

Pat Narduzzi held his final press briefing of the week on Thursday and talked about Youngstown State, the transfer portal and a lot more. Here's video and a full rundown of what he said.

I think we've got a couple questions left over from last week, but we can always use more, so post your questions about Pitt football, basketball, recruiting or anything else in this thread and we'll answer as many as we can in this week's Mailbag.

Thanks as always for participating.
