Earl Timberlake...**updated

It's weird that he has no crystal ball picks by any recruiting analysts as of yet. Guessing that will change within the next 24 hours. This would be a huge get.

Would we be reading too much into things by noting that it seems like Chris Peak and Jim (Pitt writers) appear to be the only ones who got the commit date scoop from the family?
 
He has two crystal ball picks to Miami. Guessing the LSU insider just followed Jerry Meyer's pick. Timberlake visited Miami on Sept. 13th. Conventional wisdom says the last place to visit is the most likely to win a recruit's services, so interesting that Meyer picked Miami.
 
Not sure how anyone can say he isn't serious about Pitt -- he has taken at least one Unofficial here and took an Official Visit here. I think I chances improve greatly if we get Davis/Hugley.
 
Wow
. If it was up to some posters here Pitt would never get a recruit.
Cb 's are a joke. Their a guess, a opinion.
What is the percentage of the highest rated prognosticator.
Especially first guess ?
And how often do they change their minds.
Can't wait to hear opinions once the recruits committ. (Some will still be negative cause some posters can't help themselves ).
 
Not for nothing but the guys that always want attention have an article today saying the Nov 4th date is not true and even went as far to say he doesn't know if he's gonna announce during the early signing period at all. Also mentioned his top 5 isn't an accurate list, that he doesn't have a top anything

If he wants to play for a mediocre coach against mediocre competition, then SH is a good choice.

Kevin Willard would get eaten alive if he coached in a Power 5 conference.
Stop saying P5. The big east will have two programs who won 3 championships in the last decade as of next year. The big east is a power conference and until you realize that you will always be wrong. Xavier is a better program, job, etc than Pitt. Do you think Chris Mack would’ve left Xavier for Pitt? He wouldn’t have.
You also clearly don’t have a grip that Pitt is seen as a doormat. The programs were talking about going to the ncaa tournament every single year.

Your problem is you are living in the past. The present Big East had 1 guy get drafted last year, went 1-4 in the NCAA tournament, and has 1 program worth a damn. Sean Miller left Xavier for a PAC 12 school because it is better. Chris Mack left for an ACC school because it is better. The Big East is a mediocre conference that is battling the AAC for the 6th best overall basketball conference. Pitt would be battling Villanova every year for the BE title if they stayed with Dixon as the HC in the current BE format. They went to the ACC and immediately dropped to 8th in the conference. You are proving my point. The ONLY program that could switch to a big time conference, and maintain their strength in basketball is Villanova. Your beloved Ed Cooley and Kevin Willard would sink like the Titantic in the ACC.

lol. You’re very incorrect again. Cooley turned down Michigan. Mack would’ve LAUGHED at Pitt. Miller and Mack left for elite jobs. Pitt is not one of them. As someone said, all schools in a conference are not created equal. Narduzzi isn’t going to Rutgers cuz it’s a shit job in a better conference. That’s how Pitt is viewed. You can keep arguing but you’ll just continue to be wrong. I am living in reality, you’re living in the past

Cooley was smart enough to know he needed to stay in his lane. You are just proving my point with Pitt. We went from being one of the better programs in the Big East to a mediocre one in the ACC with the same head coach. Dixon dominated guys like Ed Cooley and Kevin Willard when he was coaching in the Big East. Pitt and Villanova would be going head to head every year if Dixon was the HC. Dixon would be a guaranteed HOF coach going against these current BE coaches.
