Erick Hallett came out of his official visit to Pitt two weeks ago feeling pretty good about the Panthers. But the Houston (Tex.) Cy-Fair cornerback wasn’t quite 100% sure. He was still considering his options and thought he might take one more official visit on the final weekend of the contact period.

Then he had an in-home visit with new Pitt defensive coordinator Randy Bates last Wednesday night.

“It was when I met with Coach Bates, because he really - I wouldn’t say convinced me, but I could see his passion for the game, and that’s something I strive to have in a coach and have in a staff,” Hallett told Panther-Lair.com.
