Rocco Spindler in the portal
- Thread starter djbpitt
- Start date
I don't know enough about him as a player, but my Notre Dame friends had been saying he was a weak link on their line long before he hit the portal. It's certainly possible the he is both not good enough for ND line and better than what Pitt has.
Yeah being a weak link at Notre Dame, the national title runner up, doesn't equate to not being a quality player. When you are surrounded by high quality players you can be relatively bad and still actually be a solid player. I have no idea if he is any good but not being good enough for ND doesn't equate to not being good enough for Pitt.
Didn’t you guys use the same logic for Jerkovich??
Or Eli Holstein? Some guys that don't get playing time at top programs transfer down and star and some are duds. I have no idea if this player would be more Holstein or Jurkovec like.
Yeah, but before Eli Holstein, how many other transfer QB types have we seen come and go that just weren’t it?? I think for all the energy that they spend getting transferred portal quarterbacks they can spin just as much energy developing their own recruits
It's not much film but seems like he'd be an upgrade over what we currently have.
And on the Jurkovic comparison. OL evaluations are pretty cut and dry because of the nature of the position. Skill players rely on them to be successful. OL rely on no one when it comes to their blocking prowess.
We don’t need Rocco. ND don’t need Rocco. You don’t leave a program like ND where you are a starter for a championship contender unless your ass was given the boot…. Let him go on with his life’s work…
He starts 23 games for Notre Dame - Starts.
Not Minchy who's 3rd string or whatever - Spindler Starts - for Notre Dame.
At a position that Pitt desperately needs help - and a legacy.
Hell he could probably tell Darveux how real programs run an OL.
But no, Pitt shouldn't take him.
Unbelievable.
Agree. He started every game for a team that just played for the NC and as top 5 among P4s in rushing offense. I'm pretty sure he would be an upgrade at G for Pitt.
These guys with the "no, Pat, don't" but were either silent or praising the pickup when we just took a transfer OT who barely got on the field at Michigan in 4 full years (including this year after they graduated their entire 2023 OL) are ridiculous. Spindler would be one of the most accomplished transfers Dooz ever brought in. A full time starter from a NC team, and he's not good enough for Pitt. LOL. Just mind boggling absurdity on this board. every day, I have to say, keeps me engaged.
Not gonna happen anyway, his dad hates Pitt for the way the U handled things/him with the Golden Panthers at the tail end of his time as a Panther.
Watch and see where he lands, and what his NIL payday looks like.
Hint--it will be at a better program than Pitt, for more money than Pitt could/would ever give an OL. Word is Michigan is the current frontrunner.
Posters poormouthing a 2 year starter on a NC team while Pitt just dumpster dove for Michigan's trash at OT. The Lair never disappoints.
If he wasn't good enough for Pitt when he was a recruit, screw him. And if his dad hates Pitt now, why bother?
