Getting Goosebumps for the Premier of the Pitt Panthers Season, some big surprises are starting to catch the eyes of others in Sports Media! All can see the Coaching and Recruiting that Pitt Coach Pat & Staff are doing when National Publications catch the attention of more than one or two Pitt Players coming on in 2017. Except those that wish that Coach Stoop's Kentucky Recruits should replace those Pitt has now, after being given factual data they could not refute, and that is only their own Brain Pain???
Who Are the Best Returning Running Backs?
Excerpt:
Who is the Breakout Running Back to Watch?
James Connor was a great comeback story for the ages, beating cancer and becoming one of the ACC’s best running backs in the process. He’s now off to the NFL after last season’s breakout junior year. Just like much of the conference, there are a lot of opportunities to be taken advantage of. However, the Panthers possess one of the more intriguing young options in sophomore running back Chawntez Moss. He only took 42 carries last season and it may be a bit more of running back by committee this year for Pitt, but Moss possesses some game-changing speed. He took those 42 carries and turned them into 227 yards rushing and an average of 5.4 yards per carry. Pitt needs to have success in the run game, so expect to see a major jump from Moss this season. He isn’t the only one to watch though, as you could easily pick out the aforementioned ................
What’s the Most Intriguing Running Back Situation?
This is a hard one to choose, if for no other reason than a lot of the running back situations are so unknown across the conference. No doubt the competition is going to be the most talented and fiercest at Florida State. However, there may not be a more intriguing running back situation in the ACC this offseason than what is happening at Pitt. We’ve mentioned Chawntez Moss already, but the Panthers have a pretty loaded run game overall. There’s a hybrid wide receiver/running back by the name of Quadree Henderson in the mix, who just so happens to be the leading returning rusher with 631 yards on just 60 carries. Then you add in a pair of junior backs who looked solid in spring in Darrin Hall and Qadree Ollison, the latter of which rushed for over 1,100 yards in the absence of Connor in 2015, and things are starting to get real interesting. Let us also add in four-star 2017 signee A.J. Davis to the mix as well. He comes to Pitt as the No. 19 ranked running back in the class and will compete with fellow signee Todd Sibley, who was the No. 22 ranked running back in the class in his own right. Simply put, few running back groups are as deep as Pitt’s group is. Perhaps the bigger question is how to break down all the carries needed to keep everyone healthy. One has to believe one of Davis or Sibley will redshirt at the least, and perhaps both will be given the depth in front of them. Then again, few of those RB’s come in with as much recruiting hype as those two have either.
