A little more info on Pitt's offer to Notre Dame TE transfer Cane Berrong today:
- Berrong went into the portal on Tuesday, so it's all still pretty fresh. Pitt recruited him out of high school, so there's some familiarity, and they were in touch shortly after he entered the portal.
- Berrong is on a short timeframe because he wants to enroll in January. He's looking at checking out a couple schools on unofficial visits this weekend: Furman and Georgia Southern.
- The NCAA has a special quiet period in early January for transfers who wish to enroll midyear. That runs Jan. 4-8, and Berrong is hoping to take an official visit to Pitt at that point.
- There are a couple weeks before things play out with Berrong, but Pitt certainly seems to have the attention of him and his family.
- Berrong has played in four games over the last two seasons at Notre Dame, with a total of 10 snaps on offense, so he's something of an unproven commodity. But he's about 6'4" 245 and caught 69 passes over his final two years of high school football, so there might be something to build on there.
