Any whispers on the Sy visit?

Nothing to Sy here....think that's what you meant...
People do hashtags for not committing? I totally hate that an $EC school gets the last visit.

I totally hate when people put a $ sign for the letter S.
I hate being an a¢¢ program
That's a good one I gotta say. VT losing Buzz to the $EC and hiring a mid-major lottery ticket tells you all you need to know. Glad to get rid of Buzz though.
Yeah, it tells me that Virginia Tech are cheap and/or don't care about basketball. Buzz was only making $2.7 million and they're not going to find a comparable coach without coming in closer to $4 million annually. They weren't willing to do that so they got Mike Young.
247 has a Crystal Ball in. The LSU/SMU insider put a pick in on 4/9. Not sure how reputable he is.
I'm holding out hope for this - Sy and ORN. Still think another HS, JUCO or Grad/Regular Transfer. Capel really better have something in the fold/bag here, but we kept striking out with previous guys, but some of them hopefully will fall our way. Would hope they can be somewhat impactful and ready to play some minutes.
Twitter makes me feel old. So was he asking the "Twitterverse" or just his Pitt followers? Would you translate this as him trying to make a graphic that reads "committed?"
When you put something on Twitter it’s out there for anyone whose following you to see . Also people can retweet your message and add their own comments . Anyone can also search for you and read all your
posts .
I’m interpreting him removing his tweet not as good news.
It’s hard to read too much into anything - recruits (and players) know that everything they post is going to be parsed over by the fans of the schools recruiting them, so sometimes they put stuff out there to cause a stir more than anything.
That said, usually recruits will ask someone who does graphic designs on Twitter to either make them a photoshopped “top X” list or a commitment graphic. It’s hard to know which one Sy would be making, but my reading between the lines is that his visit went well and it would probably be a surprise if he didn’t end up signing at Pitt.
Apparently the LSU staff has cooled on himHopefully he means editing the photo to say committed and not to turn it into an LSU uniform

The ACC is 2 leagues. The Big 5 (UNC, Duke, UVa, Syr, Lou) who will all be in the NCAAT just about every single year and who will beat up on the "Other 10" leaving them very little opportunities for Quad 1 wins.
Pitt is in a league with
BC
ND
VT
Wake
NCSU
Clemson
GT
Miami
FSU
That's a 10 team league who will only send 2-4 teams to the NCAAT every year.
So you're saying we'll often be a 7-9 bid league with 5 elite teams that can win national titles, and that somehow is a weakness?
Yes, unfortunately, those 5 are so good (well Syr, not lately but historically), that they will hog 5 bids every year and will deprive the Other 10 of enough Quad 1 wins because these are 1-4 seed type of teams that you just aren't going to beat much.
From the standpoint of purely making the NCAAT, Pitt would have an easier chance of making it out of the Big East, Big Ten, or Big 12. Those leagues dont have as many unwinnable games and serve up enough 6-11 seed type of teams for you to scoop up enough Quad 1 wins.
Idk stallings never recruited a first overall nba draft pick or had any 30+ win seasons or made an elite 8
As a fan of a team not in the “Big 5” he listed, yes, I’d call that a weakness.
