Gee, I don't know why you wouldn't. He has offers from Stony Brook, SUNY Binghamton and Fordham.
LOOK HOW FAR WE HAVE COME!

Rivals says he has offers from Bryant, Buffalo, UConn, Stony Brook, Toledo, and Villanova. But I'm sure ESPN will make him a five star any day now so it will be cool.
I just hope the coaches didn't need Sonar to detect the guy thats to far off the radar??

Go PITT & CSU Rams!
I'll trust the coaches for now, but I take comfort in knowing that Heather clearly isn't afraid to yank a quick hook when deemed necessary.
He has P5 OL size and he looks very athletic and agile in his HUDL video. No doubt the staff saw his film and really liked what they saw. (Maybe he even camped at Pitt--does anyone know if coaches saw him live?)
Unlike with hoops recruits, there are so many more kids playing HS FB that not all can be seen and rated. Eespecially from a State (e.g, NY) not known for turning out many P5 football recruits a lineman could easily be overlooked. This kid simply hasn't been even seen by the star assigners so he wasn't rated zero stars because he is no good; he just wasn't even seen to be rated.
He will probably default to a 2-star simply because he is now a Pitt commit. Then, he will either stay at a 2 star or go up to a 3 based on a Rivals rater's review of his film once that has actually happened.

His level of competition looks poor, though. Hard to assess anything given what he's playing against.
I assume he must have camped here?

He's a big kid that was offered at the end of June. No idea where he "camped". His film reminds me of the kid from Hempfield that just transferred to Slippery Rock.
Welcome to PITT.
I trust the staff that recruited you and looking forward seeing you suited up in our Blue and Gold.
Yeah, those players are whiter than a country club. And size wise they look like the junior varsity at the country club.
Yep. He did camp at Pitt, and Borbely liked him a lot.
Well there’s that but that’s not as important as what our lairmen who have never laid eyes on him think.

Or maybe they're not down to "Plan B" or C or whatever you get to when you look at the thirty plus offers you have out there for lineman and just about all of them are committed or are leaning far away from you. Hopefully I'm dead wrong but everything is pointing the other way.
No one takes a player whom they consider a real gamble especially before the end of the season. Real gambles are left until closer to LOI day in December and February. You are too paranoid.
Hopefully he is right and everyone else is wrong. All we can hope for after swinging and missing on the higher level targets.
I heard Duquesne was in the hunt but wanted to see his senior film
He’s played like it to date
Pretty sad really. Recuiting seems to be declining with each year the Duzz is here. Narduzzi is a coach that comes from the defensive side of the ball, but, you still need an O-line to win. In the past, the Duzz has gotten some O-lineman with good offers. He can't seem to get over the Hump. I really liked him when we signed him, but I fear for Pitt in a few years. There is talent on this team right now. We must have a good season this year or next, or we can get used to more recruits that have zero P5 offers. The kid may turn out fine, but, we all know the odds of that happening are not great.
