WPIAL playoff brackets released this weekend. Big surprise, 50% of the #1 seeds went to private schools. So silly that schools without recruiting boundaries compete against neighborhood schools that only get players from one small geographic area. Imagine if Mississippi State was only allowed to recruit the state of Mississippi but was placed in a conference with Ole Miss who was allowed to recruit the whole country. So...good for the private school all-star teams that will steal a few trophies this season.
Beyond that, I'll be following TJ, a #1 seed with a Pitt recruit on the team. Are there any other WPIAL schools that have Pitt players of interest? I guess I mean possible commits this year or future years as I believe the TJ kid is the only current Pitt WPIAL commit.
Also, the Quips got screwed by the WPIAL, shocking I know. They were under-seeded in to TJ's side of the bracket to make the hardest path possible for them to win another title. TJ is thrilled I'm sure, nobody wants to play the Quips in the playoffs.
