Top 50 ,you weren't satisfied with him or Adams in that class which also had top 75 Gilbert.
Really?? Damn. And Dante Taylor was our 1st McDonalds All-American in decades and he didn't work out. Why are we failing in recruiting lately?
Because Jamie is a great coach?? Isn't that what the pro Jamie crowd thinks?
He is a great coach who just happens to make his players go to class. Going to the game at Miami and seeing the campus for the first time there'd be no choice where I'd want to spend four yrs at between Pitt and Miami. I'd actually would try to red shirt for a fifth yr.
But that was his peak it seems like, he still plays like a high school 4 star. He plays pretty much the same every year, 4 straight years! He never made a serious "leap" forward IMO
I tend to find people who use the term "washer" to be of very limited intelligence.
Let's not act like Robinson is some scrub. He's a distributing PG, not a scoring PG. Everybody knew that coming out of high school.
That made no sense. Thus proves my point I guess. Have YOU ever met a half way intelligent person who says "washer"? Me neither. That is more of a Scout thing anyway, it's a leper colony over there. That kind of stuff would play better there.
IDK kithcart played his way to a 4 star ranking..he looks to be an extreme steal...
No, the guys we have now are not 4 and 5 star guys by and large. We just need better players, regardless of stars.
No, just James was, you're right. I was including this group as just offensively gifted because I still think this is the best shooting team we've had. Throughout the years our 4 and 5 star recruits have not fared well a good bit of the time.
Weather others think it an say it or not, I think Jamie is a great coach ? And you are what a average poster ? Jamie ha s done a lot with very little. Duke had the top rated recruiting class this year (2015) and what are they doing ? Nothing great in the middle of the ACC pack with Pitt. And only 10 (less than half) of 2015's top 25 in recruiting are in the current top 25 ( and two more received votes). 3 of the top 5 aren't in the top 25. And Penn state is only rated because theygot three hgh rated guys from the same school to go to Penn state. that's very unusual, even the biggies like Duke, Kentucky, and Louisville have never done that. Ohand by the way Penn state was ranked # 32 in 2015 recruiting. What is their record ? How close are they to making the tournament ? So please save the recruiting garbage. Pitt is just fine.
Reminds me of Seinfeld dialogue with crazy mechanic.
This constant defense that Dixon is a good coach who is handcuffed because he's honest and makes his kids go to class is a weak excuse. ND has pretty strict standards and seems to be doing fine.Stanford,Vilanova,Indiana, etc. Its great that he runs a clean program but that doesn't excuse it's downward spiral.
Good god look who your comparing Pitt to , two of the finest universities that exist ( ND and Stanford ) a basketball elite( Ind) and an excellent school in a weathly section of Philly with a local recruiting base any coach would die for. I think Pitt tried to recruit with the big boys over estimating the draw of the ACC ,they lost all those battles and the kids next up realized they weren't the prime targets and went elsewhere were they were the prime targets.
