Positive Attitude Helps Pitt WR Tipton Develop, LINK!

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Again, Pitt did not recruit many 4 & 5 Wideouts, but they sure know how to develop into Great Wideouts. I recall last year how all were worried including I myself about losing Tyler Boyd and all that happen was the greatest Offense in Pitt History and Pitt has just as much talent at Wideouts as any University going into 2017. Clearly, that is superb coaching with good eyes on talent other Coaches missed, but Pitt Pat & Staff finds them and develops ethem.
...............One day late last month, Tipton posted: “I can't control everything that happens to me in life but I can control how I act towards it and my next move.” Last week, he wrote: “Don't be scared to live because living in fear is hardly living at all.”...................“You feel him out here, and he's a factor,” offensive coordinator Shawn Watson said. “We're playing him in the inside and outside lanes, which we wanted to do to use his multiplicity because he can play both. He can handle a lot of information. That's what awesome about him: He's just a natural football player.”.................“He's got wheels,” coach Pat Narduzzi said. “He continues to impress. He's a playmaker.” Ffrench remembered the exact moment and place where he first met Tipton. It was on a recruiting visit after Tipton had committed and Ffrench had not yet. Tipton told him, “Me, you, Quadree, Aaron ... we are all going to be so good. Just come (to Pitt)!'” “I like being around positive people like that,” Ffrench said.........................................

Tre' Tipton is a outstanding person to say nothing of what kind of addition he has made & will continue to make to this football program. I would have him as our lead recruiter/ambassador to any & all potential recruits coming for any sort of visit.
Just seems like a kid everyone wants to be around & friends with....but even moreso I think he has yet to really show the contribution he is capable of & I do believe it's on it's way.
He & Dane Jackson are going to end up being so much more important to this program than what their initial recruiting ranking ever suggested. They both have excellent athletic talent. I mean you are not going to find many just pure athletes who would be as well rounded as they are....Once their bodies get to the maturity & strength thru weightroom hard work & they both work on their individual crafts I think they both will turn some heads nationwide, just my opinion.

H2 PITT !!!

Like Tipton, worry about injury bug. A little Saddler-like in that area (hopefully not so much in the recreational- substance area). Many seem to dismiss Jackson because the overall secondary was a disaster last year but I was kind of impressed all things considered. He was absolutely thrown into the fire. With the right coaching and learning to proactively leverage his size he could develop into a good player in a critical position. At least provide quality depth and competition.

I know many are upset with Pitt Recruiting not coming out fast and being ranked early or even in the Top 20, but Coach Pat Narduzzi & Staff have found Player's Sleepers and developed many Recruits into Great Players out performing many Recruits of 4 & 5 Star Status elsewhere. Coaching matters more than Recruiting but Winning happens on game day with Great Game Plans & Execution.

Tre mentions it too, but even if Tre goes down, Pitt has the Wideouts ready to step up too! I know many Posters will think otherwise, but I see Weah just as great as Fitz now, FFrench is another Henderson, and Tipton, Matthews and Ford remind me of Antonio Bryant!

Add in the Best Florida Wideout with Smith and if reports are true he may be another Tyler Boyd, well......I think this group will be even better in September.

Too many of our local fans dismissed both Tre' & Dane because of the size of school they came from(just like Tyler earlier) & I think recruiting sites dismissed them as well for that reason. Now I do not know if both should have been 4 star but w/ their athletic ability they should have been 5.6 or 5.7. IMO based on what I have seen others from bigger schools get no problem. Can't convince me that Dane or Tre' need to take a backseat athletically.
Time will tell but I would not dismiss either of these 2 players. At the very least they will raise the competitive quotient in practice daily. They are exactly the type of local kids I want us to continue to get...H2 PITT !!!

Quite agree, and may I add, I think one can see and hope someone does a study to prove it one day to educate me, that I have seen 2 & especially 3 Star Recruits work so much Harder and Smarter to become Great Players more than 4 & 5 Star Recruits that have much talent that expect showing up can make them a Star!

I would love an Academic-Athletic Study Comparing Three Star Recruits versus Four & Five Star Recruits Accomplishments of Autumn in NCAA Records & NFL Performance Awards!

Great Coaching always take the Players they have and turn them into better Players as a Team and just 2 to 3 Top Players with Leadership can make those 4 to 5 Plays hat win most CFB Games as told to me by a Great Coach!

There has been Coaches that did do Great Recruiting but still could not turn those recruits into better Teams. So, it begins with Coaches caring, knowing, and coaching up more players than just Recruiting in the Top 20 every year.

On one hand, once a Top Program does find a Great Coach that can coach up and recruit up his Players into better Teams, that success is a combination of Programs Resources, his Coaching & High Paid Staffers and Recruiting Staffers do recruit in the top 20 every year. Bama's Saban, OSU's Meyers, OU Stoops, FSU Fisher, USC's Helton, VT's Fuente, Michigan's Harbaugh, and Clemson's Swinney all come to mind on their excellence and winning Championships. These Coaches have far more Recruiting Budgets and Staff and do what they are expected to do by winning with such excellence all around them to attract and coach up the Top Recruits.

On the other hand, one can always expect a tough game from TCU's Patterson, Iowa's Ferentz, NU's Fitzgerald, Alvarez-Chryst's Wisconsin, KSU's Snyder, Duke's Cutcliffe, GT's Johnson, Baylor-Temple's Rhule, Navy's Niumatalolo, to name a few. And Narduzzi too! All have far more 3 Stars Recruits and less 4 & 5 Stars than those Great Coaches listed above. These Coaches & Staffs must Coach Up more and find more 2 & 3 Star Sleepers and turn them into better Players. They in essence must do more with less resources.

I just like the fact that they all have speed in reserve. These kids can all flat out fly.

It looks like we have some QB personnel who will be able to get a football to those WR's flying down the field. Nothing worse than an open WR downfield and no football in the area!

Pump the breaks there Captain. This is a nice group of wideouts, but none of them is on the level of Bryant yet, let alone Fitz.

I do agree with the optimism around Dane Jackson. Coming from a small school and being a hoops guy, I think that he is just figuring out the position. I think that he likely has a better career than Hamlin.

I can't disagree if others will agree, just looking at last year play and nobody thought Pitt had anyone capable to play Wideouts. They got better every game, and you have a point, Orndoff caught many key passes that made TD's and open them even more with great slot running and catching from Running Backs.

I know I may be wrong, but Weah is so strong and fast and all made some great catches. Fitz is hard to beat on any team, Boyd still growing in the NFL, and Bryant was great in the NFL for a while then tailed off.

I can wait to see if Pitt Wideouts can be better in 2017 with a New OC, QB, and TE? I don't know for sure, Just a Hunch!

Recruiting matters. That why Alabama has won multiple national titles. That why USC won multiples titles before them. They have dominated in recruiting. It is why P5 schools are better then G5 schools. You can name every over achieing 3, w or no star player. They are statistical outliers. A far higher percentage of 5 star kids end up in the NFL then the percentage of 3 or less star kids. The bottom line is the teams who are consistently in the top 10 are recruiting strong and have good coaches. If you took all the seasons of all those coaches you mentioned you will find that they finished outside the top 25 then they finished inside the top 25. Sure if you are satisfied with being like Iowa who may have a top 25 season every 4 or 5 years then recruiting doesn't matter.

I haven't seen a poster with so many delusions of grandeur since RutgersAl. I am just waiting for the Alabama of the north reference.

The bottom line is Pitt's passing attack was far from dominate. It was 76th in the country and 39% of those yards were from tight ends and running backs. That not the type of production you expect for a team full of Fitzgeralds and Bryants.

The problem with these rediculous claims is if what you say is true then Pitt must have one of the worse coaching staffs in the country. There is no excuse to lose 5 games a year with all this talent and development skills. There is no reason for less then 1700 recieving by all receivers with such talent.

We all know it set records but I am sure 1700 yards out of the wide receivers was not a record. Why not bring some facts into the conversation? If you are going to compare a recievers to all times greats like Bryant and Fitzgerald you think you have more to back it up with then record breaking offense. It certainly wasn't the recievers breaking records.

You continually post all about all these players getting developed. Why is this not showing up in the record? It been the same mediocre 5 loss seasons that have plagued Pitt for over a decade. If this staff was such miracle workers you like to hype them as why are they still losing 5 games a year.

I'm with you on the WR point. The offense succeeded last year because of balance and the passing was setup by the effective run game with Conner and Henderson. The wideouts have potential, but none of them (even Weah) showed the ability to consistently dominate DBs downfield like Fitz or Bryant did.

But the offense can hardly be blamed for a 5 loss season. Other than Miami and the bowl game, they played good enough to win every game last year.

Nope, I read your other 33 posts and you are exactly what I described and no need to listen to your diatribe. I am content to allow Weah, Tipton, Henderson Matthews and Ford prove me Right or Wrong this year and some to come. I don't need advice from someone as dumb as you post to say otherwise based on a Ranking. I have no problem if the Players prove me wrong later this and next years, but I know right now you own projections are wrong right now, base on your Delusional Beliefs these Players can't be better. I'll wait, watch, and see, but I am not falling for 33 poor postings you have put up already based on IQ that factual not delusional.

Lair Posters are allow to compare current Pitt Players today with Pitt Legends of Today and Yesterday and what is Delusional is Penn State can't do that as often as Pitt Fans, and just accept it, and put your Hate towards Penn State for not being bale to do it!

I am content on letting Tipton, Weah, Matthews, and Henderson prove my Just A Hunch wrong or right based on their play in 2017 and beyond.

On the Lair, Pitt Fans have that ability to compare current Players and one that is already added to Pitt many more Unanimous Consensus All Americans to other Pitt Greats in the NCAA and NFL Record Books that truly proved themselves in College and Pros unlike many PSU NFL Busts due to inferior coaching lacking a record of convictions.

I don't have look at Team Stats when so many Pitt WRs, RBs, TEs abounded in 2017, and judge them as Individual Players as always. I don't mind if Pitt Fans & Posters agree or disagree with me. This is not BWI and your post reflect what you can't prove right now in the coming future of these Top Pitt Wideouts!

Pitt Players has been out producing Penn State Players even when PSU lacked the last 50 years of Athletic Integrity and still does as evidenced by your postings.

Nice try, but Pitt season ticket holder since I was undergrad there. That is why I saw Fitz and Bryant beat double teams and dominate secondaries that had future NFL players. I have not yet seen that from any of the current receivers. That isn't trolling, that is objective observation.

Not sure how any Pitt fan with a brain could even interpret that Briles comment as anything but a tongue-in-cheek shot at Joebots, let alone supporting rape.

Good...then keep posting if you can beyond 21 posts since being an undergrad so long and you will be wise and glorious unlike 21Guns and done!

BTW, let Weah and other Pitt Wideout prove me wrong. All I know is Weah gets faster, bigger, and stronger as Weah contnues to be developing since choosing Pitt Is It! I think this will continue when he goes Pro, Just A Hunch!

Predicting Weah is not now and never will be based on just Team Stats Rankings seldom predict anything is my point as 21Guns being so dumb attempted to do, and one can't be wise nor glorious thinking that too.......Curtis Martin played with injuries at Pitt from 1991 to 1994 and they won just 15-30 Games and was not a First Round Draft Choice but is in the NFL Record Books and NFL Hall of Fame!

Just pointing out Pitt Players don't quit and cannot be projected by Pitt Posters using Team Stats as proven by Curtis Martin. Trying to do so is not Wise and Glorious but Curtis Martin a Pitt Alumnus is and made the right choice making Pitt Is It. Martin didn't need to claim buying season tickets changes any of those facts you and 21Guns used to make a poor argument and all I can say, wait, see and believe like Curtis Martin did and Weah may too!

Your posts are not the most and 21Guns words has nothing to Salute either faced with those facts not projections!

If that upsets you or any other Pitt Poster or Imposter, so be it!

WE..AH Pitt is It!
