BIT IT: Hurdler Desmond Palmer

[Saboteur]

Made the NCAA finals in the 110 hurdles.
He is from Pickerington North High just east of Columbus.
He has been and is one Pitt's best athletes and it leads me to a point.
Central Ohio is growing (imagine what a modern highway system can do) and OSU can't get or take all the good athletes from the area.
Pitt is no more than 3 hours from downtown Columbus and offers athletes world class competition....I hope all our teams recruit central Ohio hard.
It's lower hanging fruit with a sweet taste...just ask Leveon Bell.

I think this is a great point...and we are a significant step above the MAC schools and it seems like a lot of the kids that miss out on OSU end up at the MAC...I think Pitt would be a great home for the cream of the crop of the OSU leftovers...
