I shouldn't even call it rumors; it's speculation, really. And the speculation about Pat Narduzzi and Michigan State is knee-jerk but, as far as I can tell, not based in any reality.
Still, it's having an impact. Pitt has two unsigned commitments in the 2020 class - recruits the Panthers are planning to sign tomorrow. Other coaches see an opportunity, though, and we've heard that there have been efforts to get those commitments to flip just in the hour or so since Mark Dantonio announced his resignation.
I don't think there will be any flips and I still expect both of the commits to sign. But that's how it is in college sports: if you see an opportunity - even one that's not really based on anything - you try to capitalize.
