Dang he should have came to RMU.

LP already donated RMU Elijah Minnie..

It was enjoyable watching the sad faces of all those Pittsburgh people as they filed out the door in defeat.

Get your hat, your coat, and LEAVE!

True. Forgot about him for a sec lol.

He probably plays a part of RMU not getting him or not recruiting him super hard.

He's skipping college and heading straight to the Warriors. They'll trade Steph Curry in the off season to make room for him.

That was usually the reaction to watching Pitt this year.

These little punks on this site can talk all they want. The kid can score and is cold blooded.

Tom Crean and Steve Fisher really liked Nelly but were waiting for Pitt to make the initial offer out of courtesy.

Brandin Knight loved him and wanted Dixon to offer. If Knight would've been hired at Pitt, he himself would've offered.

Pitt's loss. And everyone's else's too.

He'll shine at Bowling Green.

He might turn out to be a good college player, but saying Crean and Fisher were waiting for Pitt to make the first offer out of courtesy is ridiculous.

Agree with that.
Other coaches don't care that much if they see a player they like.

Yep. You'd know.

Believe what you want chump. That's what I was told firsthand.

I was at the game. You left out that he was 3 for 11 from the field and unimpressive most of the game.

Congrats to him though for the unbelievable job he did at the line. Probably most impressive FT performance I've seen. Confidently stepped up and hit FT after FT.

Good luck to him and LP in the final

Nc isnt in Pittsburgh anymore. To the extent that Beaver Co residents arent "Pittsburgh people" I guess Butler County residents arent either.

Btw is that a Beaver County chant? Id previously only heard it at a Beaver Falls-Quips game

Every touching county of Alleheny should definitely still be considered Pittsburgh people.

He may not have been electric shooting from the field tonight, but his ball handling and leadership brought them back from the edge of the cliff.

When they got down 31-20 they came out of that timeout and Nelly took over. That was with about 4 minutes left in 3rd. LP went on a 21-3 run.

I know one thing... did you see those rims? They were crooked as hell! Shooters had to adjust to that.

lol, I've heard Quip chant that before. Them people are crazy at a game. The stuff I hear on the sidelines at Heinz for WPIAL Championships from Quip's stands is legendary.

Think the Bridgers were a tad bit better by most rankings just a couple years later...but perhaps a toss up to avoid any debate.

Yes
The 2 best ever and 50 years later would still be unchallenged

Yeah, that's typically how college recruiting works.
Coaches sit on the sidelines out of courtesy for the local school to offer.

Yea. I'm sure a coach who wants a kid waits to offer out of courtesy. Just like they did with Carmody....oh wait.

You must be out of your mind.

True, he was off again with the fg attempts. But the game for him changed in the 3rd qt when he stepped up his defense with a much needed steal. Coaching is not great anymore with this team or others in high school. So with that in mind, everyone who knows this kid knew it was time to put the ball in his hands when down by 11 points midway through the 3rd qt. Nelly did take over and the rest is history. By the way, not the first he's made ft under pressure. The fans love him and basketball fans love him, he's got game. He knows if his shot is off, take it to the hoop and go to the line and he did.

No tossup, Most games where decided by halftime and starters showered up.

Here's the question:

Has Nelly surpassed Jimmy Giansante as the "Pitt missed on this guy" Guy that some random poster unabashedly Stans for?

2 NBA players with the Leopards. Hill was a consensus All American when he was a senior in college , used to eat Elvin Hayes lunch when they played and Elvin was no patsy. VanLier, just too aggressive and a great defensive star guard for the Bulls. Forget Ambridge
