How long til aliquippa nation blames narduzzi and Pitt for being unfair and they continue the anti pitt narrative?
Yeah but I look at it like this. Outside of ty law, we got their very best over decades.That pipeline has all but dried up! Shame too
I dont agree with the "your dead to me" logic applied to WPIAL players who spurned Pitt out of HS. I would have taken Wade and Raines. This program needs as much talent as it can assemble. Maybe Raines had some character issues but Wade is a great kid and a really smart kid. His social media game may rub people the wrong way but he woulda been a good fit here. Heck, if rumors are true about needing to be close to home for family reasons, I would take him now if he grad transfers. He had a good season on a Top 10 team and would start at S for Hamlin or Ford (if he leaves)
He was a freshman...remember that people thought ford was a bust till this year. I can’t believe what an idiot Narduzzi is.If Raines and Wade were not from the WPIAL, we wouldn’t even be talking about this... Both players have been mediocre so far. So we have a mediocre program with mediocre fans, wanting to bring in more mediocre players...
Lamont Wade had a very good year as a full time starter at safety on a very good defense.If Raines and Wade were not from the WPIAL, we wouldn’t even be talking about this...

It has been posted all over the place that Narduzzi wanted Raines to play LB. He doesn't think that Raines can play DB. Apparently WVU felt the same since he couldn't get on the field with them.Another unbelievably stupid move by Narduzzi. What an arrogant, egocentric piece of crap.
Hamlin is gone, Dane Jackson is gone, Ford is exploring leaving, and Coleman is transferring.
There is zero reason to not take a flyer on Raines, but he can’t get out of the way of his own ego.

And Raines was a freshman. No matter where. Just Narduzzi’s arrogance again.Lamont Wade had a very good year as a full time starter at safety on a very good defense.
Raines has issues and they are many.And Raines was a freshman. No matter where. Just Narduzzi’s arrogance again.
I wonder if players think Petrishen starting at safety spelled it out for Coleman. He would not start at CB but could have moved to safety. Just an idea
In addition to being honorable mention all Big10.Lamont Wade had a very good year as a full time starter at safety on a very good defense.
I forgot about Petrishen. Why would he take Petrishen but not Wade when Wade is very clearly the better player as Petrishen couldn't sniff the field at PSU while Wade had a good year as a starter.

Given he passed on wade as well, I have to think that is the reason. With the amount of DB’s that may be going away next year I would have taken him and wade. Even if Raines was willing to move to LB I would have taken a flyer there.I certainly don’t know the reason he’s been turned away. But if it’s solely because Raines didn’t come to Pitt originally then Narduzzi’s a fool.

Raines you can explain at least a bit...you can’t explain wade.
where was it ever said we passed on Wade? Did Wade ever truly want to leave and ask to come here? Your act is getting old.
terrible take man, absolutely terrible. he isn't eligible to play til '21, he's an olb. take a "flyer" or use a ship for a marginal player who may or may not help the program in 2 years are two entirely different things..Another unbelievably stupid move by Narduzzi. What an arrogant, egocentric piece of crap.

this post would make sense IF he was a safety and IF he was eligible in '20. neither of which are true..you do realize that Raines is not a defensive back, don't you?

if petrishen is our starting safety next year, we are in serious trouble. special teams cast off from psu comes in and starts in pitt's secondary? That would be a disgrace to Narduzzi's program, flat out embarrassing..I wonder if players think Petrishen starting at safety spelled it out for Coleman.

im as worried about our S depth as anyone, especially if Ford leaves.. we are gonna have to roll the dice with some redshirt freshmen and probably true freshmen and i guess that's ok but we aren't that desperate that we need to go this route..I guess if there were about four or five injuries, it could happen.

i trust Narduzzi with DBs though so i cant imagine we'd do this. it would be a hell of an indictment on our DB depth though.. lets hope it doesn't happen.
The secondary that Minnesota torched over and over again? Looked like OSU or UNC against Pitt a few years ago. Nothing against Wade (he's been great) but let's face it, that secondary cost the Nits badly when it mattered.
And Paris Ford couldn't tackle (and barely even slowed down) AJ Dillon on a play that accounted for a 2nd half 60+ yard touchdown -- and 7 points just so happened to be the margin by which Pitt lost to BC. Even great players don't make every single play. Bottom line is that Wade had a good season. I'd prefer Ford over him, but I'd certainly take Wade.To Wade's credit, he was able able to hold off Brisker and win the starting job. Thought that was a done deal given that Brisker is a Gateway product and most likely played a part in Wade entering the portal in the first place. But you're right, coverage skills aren't that great. Nice tackler, but Wade was torched for the winning TD by OSU.
