These local kids that fall in love with ND because they watched with their daddies and dreamed of playing there since they were little kids will never be swayed to come to PItt. They are lost causes as far as Pitt is concerned, no need to waste time or money on them. Gauge interest, if it aint there, move on.
I love locals! Paris Ford is an example of the type of kid we need to come here. He liked the program and coaches and had faith he was going to the right place for him. We need more kids like this, who want to play for the home team, and are not swayed by some archaic tradition of a once proud university that has evolved into an average team over the years. Big Blake Zubovic is another example of a kid just like Kristofic, who wanted to stay home and play for Pitt.
We are going to get some and we are going to lose some. I prefer to discuss the ones who come to Pitt. I actually go to high school games and see these kids play. When they don't choose Pitt, I no longer root for them. There is a long list of locals who I hope flame out when they ignore their hometown school. I will add Kristofic to that list!
