Confirmed--Franklin still engaging in negative recruiting...

[Hailpitt]

As late as last night, Franklin and Smith were attempting to lure Pitt recruits with completely FALSE info (questioning the value of a Pitt education, implying that Pitt fans are unstable and making demeaning comments about Duzzi). Show him today Duzzi

If indeed that is true it is a ncaa violation. Coaches are to have no contact with recruits prior to signing
their letters. From Sunday till Wednesday was a dead period.

Can players contact coaches during a dead period? I know the other way around is prohibited in the ncaa dead period.

Which recruits?

What is a dead period?
During a dead period a college coach may not have face-to-face contact with college-bound student-athletes or their parents, and may not watch student-athletes compete or visit their high schools. Coaches may write and telephone student-athletes or their parents during a dead period.

How exactly is this 'confirmed'?

 

[UPitt '89]

Your titled says "confirmed ", but you provided nothing to confirm it.

I believe he does it too... but "confirmed" implies proof.

Questioning the value of a Pitt education. I hardly think jimmy and terry have any insight on this.

World campus - lol

Pitt has the best state school education in the state maybe he thinks he coaches at Penn?? He isn't the smartest fella

On a joyous day everywhere else, comes this sad quote from a Penn State coach (below). Do they ever ask, why do we get so much hate in the first place?
