The Jeter family handled this media attention with a lot class. Kudos to them.

I am,I've been a season ticket holder for both sports for years,and when an AD tells u he is going to hire a good coach and u find out it was a DFA coach that nobody wants and threatend a current player which could have a bad affect for your football team how could u not be mad
I understand that many Pitt fans don't want Kevin Stallings as their new coach. I get that. But on a list of reasons not to hire him, how it affects the brother of a current player who won't even be here when that player leaves high school has to be way down on the list.
Sure, but it is on the list.
This is far, far worse than the Haywood hire. Hiring Haywood was completely about budget. Barnes is already monumentally worse than SP.
Heywold was a truly bad pick, but this is a completely new level of bad. I mean just hiring Stallings results in losing fan support. You pretty much have to try to purposefully make a hire this bad.
Instead of speculating about what Donovan Jeter thinks about this hire, why not listen to Donovan Jeter himself (not that some panties-twisted yinzer's opinion isn't just as valid).
This post pretty much sums up the majority of the Pitt fan base......A hoops hire is going to effect a football recruit whom might never run into on campus....
This is very well done......Very level headed

A few questions.
1) How old are you?
2) Did you actually go to Pitt or not, did you actually go to college?
3) What is your occupation?
Because I am dying to know the background of some of you who sit around and think up the most childish and ludicrous of questions.
No it isn't. Not even close. If Stallings would come in here next year and win big, and leave, I don't know if I can even blame him. With the way he has been received and treated by Pitt fans.
There have been many a bad post on this board, so I wont say this is the dumbest post I ever read... but it is certainly up there.
If you think a football recruit will not attend Pitt because we hired the winningest coach in Vanderbilt history, that only 'crime' was wanting to keep on of his best players Jeter from transferring then you are nuts.
He plays football, if he makes a decision based on the bball coach, it would be totally ridiculous

I am man enough to admit I was wrong. I overreacted, and this was posted when it first came out. Numerous people reacted this way. But you have some nerve to cast stones after some of the crap u posted. I amended my post. You have countless others that you should do the same.

Disagree. Haywood wear hired because we had no money to give so there were practically no options.
If we had no money to give, how is it that after Haywood was fired we were able to pony up to hire Todd Graham? Did Pitt hit the lottery in that two-week period?
By the way jripper88, are you only posting on this board now? I've missed your posts on the premium football board, especially your inside knowledge of NJ.
I talked to Donavan Jeters dad, he said he wants Donavan to go to Ohio St, I did ask Donavan himself but he didn't answer me, just smiled
any info is nothing but pure speculation until it's confirmed by his pizza delivery driver..
Me? Overreact? Never. Yeah, I changed my too. I don't think it is disastrous. But what I am seeing, is this illustrious Class of 2017 WPIAL football kids not jumping on the Narduzzi train because after stepping back from all of the momentum, those yellow seats denote a program that is not big time.
Interesting - especially since Ohio S. already has verbal commitments from two DTs...
Go Pitt.
yeah but one is a 3 star.. Also, look at tosu's past two classes, they only have 3 total DTs from the '15 and '16 class, combined.. Of course they have quite a few DEs signed and some of them are big boys 290+..

I really did talk to his dad and that's exactly what he told me, that he wants Donavan to go to OSU, see they're from beaver falls pa. Not Hollywood, one could actually run to someone somewhere. If he's not like Sanders Donavan will go where he wants not where his parent wants him to go
Because they went cheap. It wasn't that they didn't have any money. Haywood was so bad, they had to spend decent money and pull someone. Of course that worked out terribly, too.
I don't think the content is worth paying for.
WHat the hell is up with tosu's recruiting.. in '14 they signed 23, in '15, they signed 27 players, last year they signed 25. in '17, they already have 13.. Im sure one or two of these guys didn't make it to campus but still, how many freakin ships do they have? That's 88 right here, not taking into consideration any redshirt juniors or seniors.. I know some guys leave early and some transfer out but I demand an NCAA investigation into this.. I'm sending emails now, i'll let you know when the ncaa stops what they are doing to appease me..

They have s large number of underclass men declaring for the draft. Can't tell you the exact number because I don't pay enough attention to the Columbus station on the drive to and from work. I hate OSU too much to pay attention
I will say I have never heard Jeter's name mentioned when they discuss recruiting.
