Final 5 or so players remaining...
- Thread starter FieldHouse12
- Start date
I’d be shocked if we get Parks and Pinder. Definitely need a TE. I would think one kicker also
cant have two kickers on scholarship.. that's what PWO's are for.. really need more OL.
One or two offensive lineman, te, qb (if good enough), db and call it quits.
Done recruiting by July 1.
Start on 2021!

Not sure why we would need two QB's this year ...
Already have Pickett, Patti and Beville with no one leaving after this year.

dout we get ParksP
Pinder maybe 50-50
best chsnce fot Taylor
Garcia ison my wish list for qb
need a tight end?
Keep an eye on Patti's acceptance of being the middle man between the now-guy and the future-guy. Hey it's 2019 and kids get restless more than ever in today's sports. Need QB's.
hope not, he's one injury away from being a starter for a P5 team.. this "future guy" is nothing but message board talk. the new guy is always the future guy on pantherlair. if we get a freshman QB this '20 class, then he'll be the "future guy", and Beville will be in same group as Patti.
someone next year will say how great he looks in summer camp and how he knows a guy who heard good things and voila, the '20 QB recruit will be the future. it's how it works..
For what it's worth I think Pitt rolls the dice and doesn't take any QB this year. Right now there are other needs with the few scholarships remaining.
OL is the biggest need right now.
QB is second
Then good athletes at whatever position
TE - not sure about reaching just to sign one since there isn't much on the radar. Just go 3/4 wide and spread the field.

It seems we're are moving in the spread em out direction. None of our running backs are the big punishing backs we have had in the recent past.
The receivers seem more the slot type, than the big physical receivers that just push off smaller dbs.
Think you may be right about Patti. Picket starts until he graduates. Beville is the next great Pitt QB (Thank you Coach Watson)
Pickett will need to play a LOT better to start until he graduates.
Don't dismiss Patti. If Pickett shows up and plays like he did late last season Patti may just see a lot more action than many believe this season.
I believe Pickett will be much improved, doubt PItt repeats and wins Coastal but regular season perhaps 8 wins and finally a bowl win and close 9 and 4. Wishful thinking for certain for most will have PItt at 6 or 7 wins in 2019.
Yeah, seriously. I honestly couldnt believe I read the message you replied to.
Pickett had one of the worst years of any Pitt QB, and that is an impressive list by the way. To anoint Pickett a starter until he graduates is completely insane.
We will find out quickly, as our running game is completely altered from last year. We will need a passing attack and soon.
the running game will be fine, everyone worries every year and its always a strength
Well if he plays like he did this season the next two years, and we don't replace him, it means we aren't a very good football team. That said, I expect him to get better with experience and better coaching this season. Whether or not he's good enough to keep the job remains to be seen because he has a lot of work to do from a vision/feel for the game standpoint. He has good to great physical tools, but he has to do a much better job of reading the field and getting the ball where it needs to go. I do think Whipple helps with that a great deal.

Pickett will do great. He just needs the coaches to get out of his way and let him play his game.
David Priestly would have been great if Walt Harris had done that.
Don’t need any QB’s this year. Got 4 if you included George the transfer.
Need 2 more solid onlineman. Another D tackle. And a playmaker on offense. Hopefully it’s a great tight end

That is literally the only option to go. He will get better, no doubt. And, I do think he is a really good qb (or I should say he CAN be). But that being said, he certainly has had his chance, and if he doesnt perform well and quickly this year then we need to see what the other guys got
I don't care who the QB is. I just hope we get the play in, line up, and have 10+ seconds left before we have to snap it. Last year we couldn't even get the plays in on time.
As for who's left to get. 2 OL and best player available.
Not worried about a QB. If we need one we will just hit the transfer portal.

The OL wasn't bad last year, the problem was everyone knew we weren't going to throw the ball so they brought the house every game all game, and when we were going to throw the ball they still blitzed everyone, it didn't really matter how good they were, if KP can become a good passer the OL will be fine
I’m one of those who doesn’t think we see much of Patti this season. I’m basing this on what I saw of the QBs at the spring game...
Go Pitt.
