OT: Anyone interested in fantasy golf?

Looking to find some additional players for the fantasy golf league I've been in for the last several years. It isn't free. Weekly prizes. Also breaks down into three segments between next weekend and the tour championship at the end of August(?). Couple full season payouts, as well. I will vouch for the legitimacy of the league. It's on PGATour.com. PM me if you're interested.

OT - Famous Idaho Potato Bowl

Don't know if anyone else is watching, but they just flagged then picked up targeting call. After replay, it was definition of targeting, crown of helmet directly into receiver's helmet, launching to do it. Absolutely worse than many that have been called on Pitt all too often.

Other than that. San Jose St unis look like Pitt playing. Also, that damned blue field is mind boggling.

Recruiting Update Tuesday morning rundown: Almost to Signing Day

Not a lot for today's rundown, but I figured we've done one of these pretty much every day since about Dec. 5 or thereabouts, so we might as well finish it out.

Signing Day is tomorrow, and as it looks right now, things seem to be pretty well in place for Pitt's class.

A few notes on a few guys:

- Jesse Anderson is locked in. There was a brief bit of concern when he got an offer from Auburn last week, but I believe he is all set on Pitt.

- Jordan Bass seems pretty locked in, too. I'm of the camp that it will be done when the letter is signed, but as of this morning, his plan is to sign first thing Wednesday. We'll keep an eye on it, but this one seems to be heading in that direction.

- I'm fairly confident on Shadarian Harrison, too. I don't think there are any issues there; he said over the weekend that Miami got in too late and he is set with Pitt. So that one should be pretty much settled.

- I'm still trying to get some new info on UNLV WR Kyle Williams. I'm not sure what's happening with him and Pitt beyond what I posted yesterday: he had a FaceTime with Frank Cignetti and Tiquan Underwood Friday night and things seemed to be positive for Pitt. We'll see what develops today.

- I still haven't heard anything new on Derrick Davis.

I'm sure more things will leak out today/tonight. And tomorrow morning is sure to be fun, as it always is on Signing Day. Tune in early and often. We'll have plenty of good coverage for you.

Devin Leary In The Portal

He, without question is one of the top 2 QBs in the portal, along with Spencer Sanders. I imagine he will have his choice of a large number of schools if he is healthy. I’m pretty sure that serious NIL money will be involved.

I raise this because I think he stands head and shoulders above Jurkovic as a plug and play starter, and the fact we won’t be pursuing him illustrates how far the program still is from where it needs to be.
