next recruit?

We didn't get a boost in attendence from a huge win against Clemson (terrible Pittsburgh, Alumni, and student so called fans). What makes you think we will get a boost in recruiting from those wins.
 
It was a huge nationally televised game. It might not help, but recruits definitely saw the game and have been talking about it. If you're a kid like Lamont Wade, very intriguing if you've been following this team all season. Clearly the secondary is our huge weakness. A big time DB recruit like Wade has to be thinking of what Pitt can do with a stud in the secondary like himself. He could be the last piece in a championship puzzle.

haha... phantomrecruit... next on ignore. I mean, you can tell he is a flamer just from his name, but I gave him a chance.

I think this time of year, you see very little verbals. Usually wait until after their high school seasons end. Come December we should see some. Kids are now just making their official visits.

Agree with Garbutt, and he has to see he could easily be a ten sack guy a year at Pitt
 
It's wierd. Besides Wade, I don't know of the other targets having ser decision dates.

Twyman - I predict Pitt
Garbutt - I think he stays home va texh
Munford - I expect him to hold out till signing day hoping the OSU ship comes..but it won't so he comes to Pitt
Zayas - I think he pulls the Pitt trigger eventually
Heyward - Not sure what's taking so long. If another WR beats him to it, I think he will lose out.
Green - would love to see him flip to Pitt
Lubin - got an offer in oct. pitt best offer
 
They are set up to finish strong like last year. Would be nice to have another epic visit weekend like the one they ended up with like 6 of the 7 who visited.

But, I think the emphasis now should be on quality.

I like Zayas too. He isnt talked about much, and there is NO WAY he is 205 lbs, look at the tape, he looks 230 easy.

I like your list. If last year is any indication, there will be some surprises the last few weeks and we will get a big 4 star or 2

-I will be stunned if Pitt does not get Twyman. And that is a MAJOR get.
 
Most recruits are hyper-focused on their late season/postseason high school careers in recent weeks, so I wouldn't read too much into it. The overall pace of announcements, regardless of the school, should pick up into December.
 
Personally, I think Wade is a better player on offense. He is built like Q. Henderson. 5-8 against 6-2 or bigger receivers is going to be a challenge.
 
i've been saying for quite awhile i don't think wade is coming our way, would love to be wrong.

What makes you think we won't. If a kid wants to come here it will be because of how much he likes the program. If he feels he has to play in front of 100,000 people he isn't coming here anyway.

Because one has nothing to do with the other, unless you are a message board poster.
 
pretty early on. to be honest i did go back and forth a few times late. but in the end i thought hamlin was coming our way.

ph, you've been saying wade is coming our way, i've been on the other side. hope your right and i'm wrong.


When did you feel confident about Pitt getting Hamlin last year?

Haha, I hope I'm right too.

I just don't see Happy Valley as the home to a kid from Clairton. OSU, Michigan etc sure, but not Happey Valley. A lot of areas shit on Pitt and look down upon it, but not Clairton. Guess we'll know in 4 weeks.

I hope having Mathews here helps the cause. You would think it does, along with Hamlin, Coleman, Ford. Although Mathews is turning into a pretty good player in his own right, and flipping him from PSU makes it all the better
 
He's mentioned he would like to play with his teammate Hamlin and the only release ice option for that is Pitt atm counting hat Pitt offers him to begin with,but if PsU offers u can pretty much guarantee he is gone if Pitt doesn't
