Nate Sestina
- Thread starter DiehardPanther
- Start date
I'm sure it's not a pity visit to UK haha. Gotta be interest there. Hopefully we hear of one of these transfers and a visit date to Pitt soon. Definitely need a sense of urgency to get these kids on campus and close them.
Nah, I'm sure there's legit interest. Nate Sestina isn't as good of a player as Reid Travis, but there are similarities. Calipari would clearly rather take those sorts of players as grad transfers than bother recruiting them.
I'm willing to bet a large pepperoni with mushrooms and a six pack of Busch light that he doesn't go to Ky.I'd say Pitt has a legitimate chance at him if Capel wants him.
My guess is it's a "tryout." The assistants will work him out and tell him either they are offering him a spot right then and there or to wait a few weeks until after LOI day to see if they have a scholarship for him.
Free transfers for everyone!!!
AD's are going to also consider which young players may transfer when firing a coach. You are going to see teams left with 0 players now after a coach firing due to the Tate Martell rule. Anyone can transfer without sitting out now if the coach leaves
Yeah this is nuts.... I've never really paid attention to recruiting til now. But this is crazy.
I don’t think getting a 6 pack of Busch Light would be considered a win. Not for me anyway. But to each his own.
Pgh Sports Now also tweeting huge news upcoming for basketball. Not sure if Sestina is huge news but I'd take it.
I meant they are saying huge news, right now.
As in that's what they said currently
I didn't say Sestina would be huge news. You need to work on those reading comprehension skills.
Guess would be Diallo. If there is anything to it, that is. He is huge and it would be news.

It appears to me you guys are over reaching. Based on my understanding of the English language--what is meant is that a highly rated recruit is visiting. This may or may not lead to an actual commitment. It doesn't sound to me that a commitment is imminent.
Caveat: PSN may not be using language clearly either -- so they may actually mean a commitment even though the language is unclear.

That's how it should be.
Well, either that or coaches should be required to sit out a year if they leave a school before their contract is up. No special rules for the rich people. Make the rules the same for everyone.
FWIW, two people on Twitter asked if it was Diallo, and the response both times was, “better”. We’ll see.
Coaches are professionals with contracts that include penalties if they are voided or breached. Players are 'amateur student athletes'. Pick a school, not a coach still rings true for this guy.
We are mentioned with about 18 players at this time. Mitchell is not one of them.
As a human, I believe players should he able to transfer and play immediately any time. However, as a college basketball fan and someone who understands that college basketball is a billion dollar business with millions of fans, I don't think the business can sustain where this is going. A team like Duke or Kentucky can recruit a Xavier Johnson or Ky Bowman. A team like Pitt can recruit a high level A10 player. It's going to turn off a lot of fans.
Don’t be surprised if Mitchell turns down bigger schools & goes to UMASS. He is close with his Prep coach and UMASS offered his prep coach a job which he is expected to take.
Yea, the PSN Die Hards article says the following before you have to log-in:
"Pittsburgh Sports Now has learned that Capel is getting good news with a big-time visitor."
Also, I got a pop-up for an old Sy article, probably triggered by their algorithm. So, yea, the news is probably Sy is taking a visit. I mean that's great and all but I always figured he'd take a visit.
A juco visit isn’t huge news.
Those guys are pathetic at trolling for attention

No kidding. Anything that comes from Mr Silent Verbal - take with a big grain of salt.
If this is the tweet and all it is is a visit, that would be really lame.
To me, it's a credibility issue. If it's just a visit, next time they won't be taken seriously at all.
