I’d put Lett 1st team all JUCO- helped win our first Big East championship. I’d drop Peterson for Lett.

Legit point. Peterson was 2nd Team All Big East however. Lett was Honorable Mention.

I'm confused ... that's what I did!

Jaime Peterson was a good player. Underrated. He is worthy of 1st team status.

What categories do Dominic Dumancic and Trevor Ferguson fall into?

 

[DT_PITT]

What categories do Dominic Dumancic and Trevor Ferguson fall into?

Trevor never actually played here so I didn't count him. He left just after he got to school for the year. I didn't count players as transfers if they never played (Jamal Faulker, Chris Gatling, Thomas Hamilton, Danny Griffin, Tony Tate, Walter Waters, Darnell Dodson, etc.)

There a couple of guys who left but I don't know where they went like Dumancic and Richie Carrigan -- so I don't actually know if they went somewhere else.

I was young but thought it was cool when we had Ghandi Jordan and Omo Moses. Great names.

 

[LeftCoastPanther]

All Transfer Out Team I'd put Gatling over Cosby.

Cosby may have been the biggest thug to ever wear the Pitt uniform.

Seabrooks not far behind.

Those teams were literally a gang on campus starting fights at campus events


Except Isaac Hawkins and vontego who were cool. Isaac was a friendly dude

I mentioned earlier in the thread that I didn’t include transfers who never actually played.

 

[cease10]

Fred Primus was one of the worst players I ever seen when he was on campus. Back then, I thought he was a walkon and was shocked to find out he was on scholarship. I kept looking at him and wondering what is he doing on this team.

Chris Seabrooks.....I thought he had so much potential and could've become a monster in the Big East.....smh

No Tony Tate? I think he could make two teams...All Forgotten transfer team, and All Transfer Out team, as he had a good career with Florida A&M.

I noted him further below. I didn’t include him on my teams because he never played in a game here.

 

[BargeDog]

Where's Carlton Neverson
and "Smokin'" Willie Cauley deserves a mention

 

[Wednesday Morning]

Didn't Jaron Brown come here from Kentucky?

 

[DiehardPanther]

Didn't Jaron Brown come here from Kentucky?

He did indeed.

 

[DT_PITT]

Where's Carlton Neverson
and "Smokin'" Willie Cauley deserves a mention

Carlton Neverson never played in the Big East and as I stated, that's when I started the list.

Also, if you check back, you will see that I did mention Cauley on the "dishonorable" list.

Wasn't that Cauley's son who ended up playing for Kentucky?

 

[cease10]

Didn't Jaron Brown come here from Kentucky?

He's from Kentucky and committed to Kentucky, but never attended due to coaching change.

 

[Rugger]

Sam Ellis?

 

[TFloss]

He's from Kentucky and committed to Kentucky, but never attended due to coaching change.

If there is one player, I want back on campus for a game it's Jaron Brown.

We've got a great relationship with JP1, he has to be able to get him here. He's my favorite Pitt player of all time. I had his jersey when I was in middle school.

Lou Hill and Sammie Ellis were better than anyone on your juco and transfer in lists.

If you read at the top, you will note that I said my list started with the Big East era. (The 1982-1983 season)

He has attended Louisville games and sat behind the Pitt bench in the past, when Pitt visited.

How about "All Disappointment Team". Guys came in with some repute, and rankings only to not be all that.

Dante Taylor
Khem Birch
Damon Wilson
Willie Cauley
Keith Benjamin

Benjamin had a pretty nice senior year...I'd leave him off the list. I'd propose Degroat or Demetrious.

I already included a team like this above.

Nonetheless, I wouldn’t put Keith Benjamin on the team you suggest. First, of course, he didn’t transfer. Second, he was generally a top 125-150 recruit and played pretty much according to that ranking. He had a respectable career and helped Pitt win some important games.

Compare him to a Fred Primus who was a top 50 recruit or Mike Gill who was ranked as high as in the 40’s.

Damon Wilson is a good inclusion however ... I have no idea how he was a top 100 recruit.

 

[DT_PITT]

Yuri was ranked 150 by one service but 200 or higher by others. By that ranking, he was maybe OK is guess.

Degroat was ranked as a highly touted JUCO by one service after a great weekend. He really wasn’t all that highly thought of by everyone not named Doke88.

I didn't realize Fast Freddie was that highly regarded. I was not limiting this to transfers. Also didn't realize Mike Gill was that highly rated, but yeah it works. Benjamin did recover for a decent SR year, but overall he was disappointing.

I was trying to remember back in those really good 80's classes if there were some guys that really didn't pan out, but most of them did at least okay.

I just have a hard time calling Benjamin disappointing. Perhaps your expectations were much higher than mine, and might I suggest, inappropriately so.

 

[KennyTheKangaroo]

Mark McCaroll was pretty disappointing

Darnell Dodson and that guy that ended up at Cleveland state would end up on the all time “what the hell was that situation all about” team

 

[SoufOaklin4Life]

Keith Benjamin was the original jj Moore-

Plenty of folks fell in love with him and expected a lot because he could jump high.
