[Chris Peak]

Pitt landed another top WPIAL recruit this week, so we got Thomas Jefferson head coach Bill Cherpak on the phone for a scouting report on Devin Danielson. Really good stuff from Cherpak.

Great update, no question a solid class for Pat Narduzzi 3rd year and looks like Pitt will be doing what they do at Wisconsin, WVU, Iowa and Michigan State Home Growing Offensive an Defensive Lineman.

Great to see Pitt Recruiting is finally getting back to Pipelines into key long term Recruiting High Schools outside in Ohio, DC, NJ, and inside Pennsylvania, as you point out. Good point on Pitt taking Duo Recruits from same High Schools from PA, NJ, and DC.

Shows to me, Coach Narduzzi has long term plans for his staying at Pitt and Rebuild the Program. Clearly, Graham and Chryst did not have such plans, but all signs point to Coach Pat & Staff making Pitt Is It.

Did a quick check on Notre Dame, PSU, Wisconsin, Iowa, WVU, Ohio State, MSU, Michigan, and CUSE compared to Pitt 2018 Recruiting so far.

ND-Rival's Rank 11th with just 12 Recruits, has 2 Players from PA both 4 Stars but it will be interesting to see if Kelly is replaced being on the Hot Seat in 2017.

PSU-Rival Rank 4th & Scout 9th with 13, but right now only has 3 Players from PA compared to 5 at PITT. What turned PSU Recruiting around in 2017 was going 11-3, and continues into 2018. If Pitt's QB Browne & OC Watson can mesh and help win 10-2 games it will do the same for Pitt.

Wisconsin-in Rivals Ranked 16th but all 3 Solid Stars and just 1 Four Stars out of 16 Verbal Recruits and seeing that comparison with Pitt again. Alvarez-Chryst Reloading on 3 Stars again just like Pitt.

Iowa-Rivals 60th with just 9 Recruits all 3 Stars except 1 Two Stars, and 3 from Wisconsin 1 from PA and only 2 from IA.

WVU-Rival Rank 58 with just 9 Recruits and 1 from PA.

Ohio State-Rival Rank #2 with only 14 recruits and 2 from Ohio but many Nationally and all 11 being 4 Stars, 2 Five Stars, and just 1 Three Stars!

MSU-Rivals 35th and 12 Recruits and 8 from Ohio (2 Four Stars, 4 Three Stars, 2 Two Stars) and 3 from Michigan so interesting places and taking nearby States.

Michigan-Rivals at 26th with just 10 Recruits and 3 from Michigan (1 Four Star, 2 Three Stars) and 6 Overall Four Stars.

CUSE-Rivals 51st Recruits at 11 and 3 FL, 2 NY, 1 PA and 2 Two Stars and 1 Four Star from MI!
