Since there have been various discussions about Pitt's relationship with Aliquippa in light of this week's events, I'll add to the conversation.
From what I've heard, there may be a few individuals in Aliquippa who have an issue with Pitt, but that feeling is not prevalent, and it sounds like there is still a desire - on both sides - to maintain a strong relationship between Pitt and Aliquippa. I've been told that there has been contact between Pitt and Aliquippa in the last few days (since Wednesday) to make sure that the relationship is still intact. And that contact has not necessarily been initiated by Pitt.
Does this mean that Pitt is going to be automatic for the next Power Five prospect out of Aliquippa? Not necessarily; each recruitment is its own story. But I think there was a sense that the relationship had been severed, and that's not the case.
