At the Panthers Prowl on Tuesday, Randy Waldrum said that they have received 22 commitments for the next 3 years and have done 3 years recruiting in the last few months. I don't know how good any of these players are but I'd assume Pitt women's soccer is going to get really good really quick.
Waldrum and Vidovich are Exhibit A of how much the head coach matters in recruiting. Pitt soccer has many disadvantages but it hasn't slowed these guys at all. Both have won National Championships and I think its pretty safe to say that both programs are more likely than any current Pitt program to win a NC.
Waldrum was really funny and well-spoken, probably more than any other coaches. Vidovich is kinda the opposite. He never seems totally comfortable in front of the microphone. He seems more of a no-nonsense, business-oriented, tell it like it is kind of a coach. I thought he was too hard on himself almost apologizing for his "slow" start and saying everyone in the ACC makes the NCAAT but them. He was on the cusp of it in Year 2 and will make it this year.
