Usually college coaches give recruits a little advanced warning before they drop news of an offer. That didn't happen in the case of Elias Reynolds and Pitt.
Oftentimes the build up to an offer is as much for the school as it is for the player. It's helpful to talk to a kid, to get to know him, to determine if he's the right kind of fit for your program beyond his talent, and to generate some interest, prompting him to look into the school on his own.
But sometimes coaches take the surprise route. That's just what Pitt did with Reynolds, a 6-foot-3, 230-pound linebacker from Brooklyn (N.Y.) Poly Prep.
