That's great. Must have had good Decembers.

So... What's Pitt's class rated at ESPN? Top 30? Top 25?

30 now I believe.

Maybe this will make the 2 annoying people (won't name names but should be obvious) who keep claiming Narduzzi can't recruit and how they're not impressed feel better.

Said this many times on other board and on this one. Stay in the 25 to 35 range for all 4 years and we can be a 10 to 25 team consistently. Now have a 30 ranked year then fall to 45 the next two and then a 25 won't do it as consistently. Really if you average 25 over a 4 year span you are going to be ranked higher than 25 because many teams will have a couple of top 20's but also a couple of low 30's or 40's.

The key is actually to keep gradually moving up the foodchain. A top 25 finish this year would be great. Next year, we should try to get to top 20. Once we get into the top 20 we're in good shape. Realistically, Pitt is not going to crack the top 15.

4 star bulldozers definitely help.

Said it myself - couldn't agree more. Unlikely to be a perennial or even frequent top 10 classes. He's going to live and/or die on evaluating talent and getting those players. Don't see a constant parade of 4 and 5 stars but as they get better (hopefully) he may get a few more.

This is how MIchigan State had a nice run...

I think that's largely where Wisconsin operates as well. Time will tell if Chryst is successful but it's worked for them too.
