I always post pre season
that I won't predict any
Pitt Ball assessments
until I see em in "real
time."Ok, for now
they're a team in transition
IMO. Hopefully they're
transitioning upwards.
As far as where we are or
where I see us conference
wise.....After a few wins
against some lightweights,
blowout losses to WVU
and Michigan, I see us
as a top three team in
the A-10. The VCU game
where we were good and
bad (mostly bad) was still
a very close loss. They are
one of the top three A-10
teams.I believe we would
beat them now by seven
or eight pts. The cupcake
wins show that we're
significantly better than
the weaker conferences
inhabited by RMU, FDU,
Alabama ST, Canisius, etc.
As far as P-5 conferences
I see us at the bottom
with a few other teams.
The ACC?.....Since Capel's
arrival I still see us near
the bottom, but maybe
getting closer to the
middle. SMF see us in
the middle, I hope he's
right. I've seen a number
of ACC games, and I see
a VTech type team as
the middle, and IMO
they're better than Pitt.
Bottom line.....right now
we have upper A-10
level talent. That, IMO
translates to the lower
end of the conference,
and MAYBE closer to
the teams in the middle of
the ACC. Just my 2 cents.
