...what might have been...

I read the PG all conference teams. I don’t watch WPIAL games anymore, but noticeable by his absence was Speca from CCHS.
Is this guy as good as his recruiting says?

Ok so who wins. Neutral field

Ohio State vs Clemson Ohio State
Michigan vs North Carolina Michigan
Penn State vs Florida State Penn State
Minnesota vs Duke Minnesota
Illinois vs NC State NC State
Iowa vs Pitt Pitt 7-0 Pitt Scores on first drive off game and then all three and outs the rest of the way lol
Purdue vs Louisville Purdue
Maryland vs Wake Forest Wake Forest
Wisconsin vs Syracuse Wisconsin
Michigan State vs Miami Michigan State
Rutgers vs Georgia Tech Georgia Tech
Nebraska vs Boston College Boston College
Indiana vs Virginia Indiana
Northwestern vs Virginia Tech Northwestern


I've got Big 10 winning 9-5. A bunch of these games could be pickems though

What does everyone else have

Some good stuff in here.

Lots of praise for Cory Sanders, Partridge, Salem and some for Narduzzi too.

The AFC is going to be a much tougher conference than the NFC for the next 5-10 years. The teams in the AFC picked better QBs in the draft, while the NFC teams selected a bunch of duds or have a bunch of aging QB.

You've got:
Maholmes
Allen
Burrow
Herbert
Lawrence
Watson
Jackson
Pickett

The NFC has maybe three younger guys who could be in the top 10.

Chris,

Have you heard anything about when the full 2023 football schedule will be released? I know it used to be in like Feb/March, but I seem to be remember it being released in January in recent years?

I hate the Chiefs , I hate the Bengals.
I hate the overblown coverage of the league. I hate social media.
Still fun to watch , but I want an underdog to win.
I guess, I want Damar and the Bills to win, you know if Pickett and the Steelers get eliinated.

2 Years from now, Pickett will be a household name, people wont even know what college he went too.

On any streaming platforms????

I imagine there are alot of series, but I don't know if I want to make that type of investment.
But the platforms I have subs to:
HBO Max
Netflix
Hulu
Paramount +
Amazon Prime

Looking mostly at those.....

He looks horrible

Epic

Has played a total of 10 minutes in our last 4 games.

With our lack of front court depth and our recent foul troubles, that is just baffling.

isn't he the more ready to play twin?

WTF?

S/o to @AvonBarksdale for posting this in the other thread but thought this deserved its own thread for people who don’t click on old threads.

Rivals still has him as a 3 star - lol

What a joke.

Either way, how the hell did this kid stick here - s/o Pat, Manalac, Mickey Jacobs, Chris Bickell, and whoever helped him stick

I'm hearing some positive things about Pitt and Florida WR transfer Daejon Reynolds. As we've said, something will probably have to happen sooner rather than later, but it sounds like Pitt is in good shape here.

Pitt has 13 ACC games left.

-Torvik has Pitt favored by at least 9 points in 6 of those games as of today.

-According to the current ratings, Pitt has 8 games left against teams outside the National Top 100.

-Only 4 games against Top national 50 teams left on the schedule (5 if you count Wake Forest using the rpi)

10-3 should be the goal for this team which puts us at 22-9 to finish the regular season. That should be enough I think to get in the tournament. Our remaining schedule is seriously not that hard, acc teams or not. We have proven we can win on the road with this team.


Pitt sits tied for 2nd place in the conference right now.

On top of that,

Brandin Cummings was just named the mvp of the Burger King Classic and was 4th all time in scoring in the event at over 30 points per game.

Jaland Lowe just recently dropped 40 points and destroyed Kordelius Jefferson, a 4 star top 100 guard headed to Houston. He is seriously in the running for Texas state player of the year.

And Carlton Carrington, after being arguably the best player at the Jordan Classic, just broke the scoring record at the MLK Classic going for 42 points (7-12 from 3) and 7 assists tonight. He is also surging.


It wasn't long ago Judah Mintz decommitted and this team was in shambles a year ago with quite a few people wanting change for the head coach. Capel has a chance to turn non believers into believers in the next couple months. Lets see if this team can get the job done before passing the torch to the talented newcomers. The opportunity is there for the taking. Capel and this team need to get the job done.

Purdue with a narrow 39-35 lead at just under a 12 minute mark of the second half.

Slow paced somewhat plodding game. Purdue has the giant Zach Edey he currently has 24 points and 15 rebounds.

Local Pittsburgh guy Morton has been blanked so far. 0-6 on field goal attempts. Purdue is currently ranked number 3 in the country.

Rossi is from Pittsburgh (Central Catholic) and played at Allegheny before starting his coaching career. My question is if he has any relation to South Fayette head coach Joe Rossi (IMO the best current coach in the WPIAL, but that’s for another thread)? I’m assuming no, but I find it fascinating that two football coaches from Pittsburgh would share the exact same name, and a relatively unique one at that.

Huge for Deslin, another prestigious honor for a Pitt guy

never realized it but he was pretty media savvy as a young man. he still is (much better). definitely someone coached him a bit. and good for them for it. honest and straightforward.

I don't know his birthday but the commonwealth should probably make it a state holiday.

Travel must be completed by Jan 31st, which is the squeeze right now and why I'm throwing it out there. My parents each have one and didn't know they were expiring. I'm already using my own next weekend, and would hate to see them go to waste.

For those that are unfamiliar with the companion pass, they are basically "buy one, get one free" on flights that have availability. If anyone wants to take a spontaneous mid-winter trip this might be a good fit for you. It'll require a conference call with Delta to book it. DM me if interested. H2P!
