Class of 2024

Interesting story on PA Power Wrestling today about Rune Lawrence.

Two key takeaways:

1. "He mentioned Pitt, Virginia Tech, Illinois and Arizona State as some of the first calls and texts he received on June 15, but surely they were the first of many as Lawrence grows and develops."
2. He is weighing 195 right now and expects to be a '97-pounder or heavyweight in college.

Pitt looks set at those two weights for years to come, with Stout and Pitzer, but we all know that in today's world of college athletics, you can't plan your lineup four years down the road. If you've got a shot at a guy like Rune, you've got to go for it. If he continues to improve, he's going to be one of the top recruits in the country at any weight. Glad to see the Pitt staff jumping on board early.
