Good Article on the Jeter Situation
- Thread starter CharlesBronson
- Start date
-The only problem with the Jeter announcement is our dline is going to need rebuilt after this year. Rebuilding a Dline in 2 years is almost impossible. It was almost a miracle the talent we pulled in with Hendrix, Watts, Camp, and Wheeler last year. With Garbutt, Twyman, and Jeter, that is a line that is almost a complete rebuild with depth in 2 years. You can look at anyones recruiting class, even Alabama or whomever, to pull in 6+ four star players on the dline in a 2 year window is almost impossible. Getting Garbutt and Twyman or another flipper at the end would still be a hell of a job by our staff. Jeter hurts our teams depth, because we are thin.
Not getting Jeter doesn't mean we won't get someone as good or better. Camp and Watts are proof.
Actually I think the bulk of Panther fans are still positive and still see a good future.
Unfortunately, as they say, empty cans make the most noise.
Just someone tell me why we keep giving this young man any play. He is not a panther. Lets move on already.
And the fact that someone is writing that it was apocalyptic is just ridiculous. We are giving this kid way too much credit. Pitt will be fine. They will get kids that want to be here and I trust the coaches will get kids that will develop.

If I have to repeat this ad nauseum to get it through your heads I wil......If a local kid doesn't want to come here then go beat the bushes and get another another kid comparable or if you strike it right better than the one who leaves...that is all part of recruiting.....the angst over losing a kid baffles me on this board....
Exactly. We will still recruit him every day until he enrolls at ND. I think we still have a pretty decent shot to get him.
I think we have no chance of landing him - and we probably never did.
I think he was looking for someone else to come in and sweep him off his feet and he found it in Notre Dame.
Good for him! Best of luck to him.
Now, we need to move on and go find a comparable player elsewhere. They are certainly out there and we can absolutely attract them.
This is not remotely cataclysmic.
Also, as always, he is now no longer relevant to us. I'm not rooting against him but neither am I rooting for him to succeed. I won't care about him one way or the other.
And when he graduates – likely needing a job – let someone from the Notre Dame network take care of him. That's a great network to belong to and I'm sure someone will step up on his behalf. However, it won't be me and it shouldn't be anyone else from the Pitt family either.
