Some Programs brag about Attendance and tell recruits that wins games while later they sit on the Bench or in the Stands. Some Programs Boasts to Recruits every February how Great their Recruiting Rankings are in the Top 25 only to find out later they did not get the Coaching they needed. Finally, some Programs brag now many Players got Drafted into the NFL only to see them fail or Bust NFL Clubs Budgets then their get upset when you factually prove it.
Still, time after time, year after year, from 1900-50 Era, 1950-1999 or 2000-2017 when NFL Draft Day Management collides with CFB Players for their own Careers, PITT is right up there, with USC, ND, OHIO State, BAMA, PITT & MICHIGAN, not always in the same numbers but in Quality and that is a Historic Facts.
The Little Brothers WVU below and south of Pitt. As well as, Inferior & Scandal ridden Penn State Brothers East of Pitt just have to accept and Kudo's for Temple too doing more with less attendance, recruiting rankings, and revenues just like Pitt!
Penn State and West Virginia Fans have to live with those fact as they cry every year after their Recruits & Players BOASTS get BUSTED the Most in the NFL and just accept it! Pitt did it without Academic or Athletic Scandals as well, unlike WVU & PSU!
Excerpts:
1.The Steelers Won The NFL Draft
That the selection of James Conner with their second third-round pick (105th overall) was received with such overwhelming support made the Steelers instant winners on Friday night.........The Steelers watched all of it up close, as the Panthers are their next-door neighbors at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side and the teams share Heinz Field. Fans of both teams immediately tweeted how they couldn't wait to buy a James Conner jersey, and his No. 24 is available on the Steelers roster. It marked the first time the Steelers have selected a Pitt product since Hank Poteat in 2000, and their most popular draft choice since Ben Roethlisberger in 2004.
2.This Is Still About Football: (Owties Point Last Night & Spot On!)
For all of the good feeling about the Steelers taking the hometown kid – Conner is from McDowell, near Erie – he also could be a good fit................The adjustment for Conner, who wrote a pre-draft letter to every NFL team telling them he planned to be a Hall of Famer, will be accepting a backup role behind Le'Veon Bell. But Conner has three-down ability and gives the Steelers intriguing options, allowing them to split Bell out wide or put him in the slot while keeping a powerful running threat in the backfield..............
3.The Steelers Are Loading Up At Wide Receiver
Taking Southern Cal's Juju Smith-Schuster in the second round represented the Steelers selecting the best player available over need. The 6-foot-1, 215-pound Smith-Schuster, who has been compared to Anquan Boldin, has a reputation as a sure-handed receiver who is willing to go across the middle and slip into openings. He scored 25 touchdowns in three seasons, with a career-best 89 catches for 1,454 yards and 10 touchdowns as a sophomore.....................
