Hey Matt: Just a couple questions and your predictions on how you feel these two classes may shake out:
Before them, shout-out to the 2014 Panther squad on a dominating and exceptional win against UNC yesterday. It's great to watch this team further get better and rack up some nice wins in the process. Just gotta keep it going into March and get hot. Just about everyone on the team had a huge impact and played "team" basketball--a true Pitt Panther testament of teams of the past.
1. Pitt right now is at its limit with scholarships with Wilson and Nix. Speculation of Haughton and/or Uchebo moving on are possible..As you pointed out Levi Cook is visiting in a couple weeks, still in on Dillard and Diallo...maybe a post-graduate transfer--saw you and some other fans talking on Twitter--could Sterling Gibbs be in play with the turmoil going on at Seton Hall? Play here one year and have that scholarship open right back up. Could possibly step right in at the #2 spot with Durand and Chris Jones...lethal shooters. Unfortunately, just have a tough time seeing Pitt landing Diallo..UK (will definitely lose a freshman or two, plus WCS) and ISU are right there..I'm sure some names will surface in the next couple of months like they typically do...
2. With regards to 2016, Heron is still-in-the-fold, and that's a good thing obviously. Only Robinson and DJohnson graduate, leaving 2 total scholarships as of now. Gibbs is there, Miles Bridges, Winston, maybe some higher profile names, but not sure how long Pitt will stay in pursuit/the hunt of them.
Just seeing what your thoughts are Matt or any other poster here of course...Just trying to speculate and see what people are thinking. On to UVA and let's get this W!!!
