If we do get a commitment from Wheeler, I think that has the potential to help sway Zack Gilbert towards Pitt. There are 2 reasons that I believe this may be the case.
From the article on ZG, I get the feeling he wants to play end, not the interior. Having a solid option on the interior will increase the chances that Gilbert can play end at Pitt.
It is no fun to be a good d-lineman on a weak defensive line. If Wheeler commits, ZG will at least have the potential to have another solid lineman alongside him for years to come at Pitt.
This opinion has not been formed by any inside info, just pure conjecture on my part.
