Usually the Nits are highly ranked in the recruiting standings. This year even James Franklin uttered earlier that he was disappointed in their recruiting and had to do better. He said he will continue recruiting some positions till Feb. The Lions had 15 recruits and are ranked 28th. On the other hand, it seems most are pleased with Pitt's class. for 23 recruits, they are ranked 21st. It's not the norm, but it looks like Pitt outrecruited PSU. It also pans out locally as the Panthers cleaned house in the WPIAL. Kudos to Pitt and the staff for a satisfying recruiting class. Another thing worth mentioning is that the PSU fans have clamored in the past that Narduzzi and staff recruited 'negatively'. And, of course, in their eyes, PSU would never do such a thing (lol). Well the video of the locals with Chris pissed on that concept. The recruits dissed the Nittany Lions for 'trashing' Pitt to them. Thankfully, as they said, it went in one ear and out the other. They became Panthers. In recruiting, there is love and war, and most coaches leave no stone unturned. But, considering how Pitt's players have been classy and courteous, the coaches are doing a good job of recruiting 'character' as well as talent into the program. Now let's hope it translates into more wins.
