If things ever get back to normal, do you think Pitt will ever sell out a game with Jeff Capel as the coach? Used to be the hottest ticket in town.
Sell out at the Pete
- Thread starter Pitt 4 Brains
- Start date
It’s not really hard to sell out a game when we’re in the ACC and schools like Duke and UNC regularly come to the Pete.
I think it will sell out beyond Duke and UNC if we get to and remain in the top 5 of the conference. The Capels are well respected in North Carolina, and it will improve the recruiting when we continue to improve. Team chemistry is already better without X and Toney. The energy has been high for the NC State and Wake games.
Well. Recruiting has gotten worse. To the point of Having Zero Committed prospects in 2021..
Enlighten me to where you foresee us getting into The Top 5 in the ACC with this Staff?
At the beginning of this season, only 1-2 ships looked to be available for 21-22. Now, with X, Toney, and Brown gone, and Drumgoole transferring to a lower league, that makes 4. I think he gets there with a couple grad bigs transfers, and a freshman guard and forward. Look, the elite are not going to come here right now. When you have been in those high AAC teams, you expect to go to the blue bloods. It will happen here as we continue to rebuild. 0-18 4 yrs ago was a program in a coma. It will take longer to be turned around
I think 22-23 was the staff focus based on now having many ships for 21-22. Transfers are a way of life now, and I think one third of the team, at least, will graduate or transfer in this era. We were spoiled by Jaime Dixon
It’s ok to dream I guess.. I like to use Facts.. I have over a decade of evidence why Capel won’t even come close to your expectations..
Well, you can dream in the opposite direction. I think we still have another year to pay off Stallings, and his reputation in the South is overall good. He was almost at Duke for a decade, so whatever happened at Oklahoma, and previously
Nike, Brown and Drumgoole were 3 spots. X and Toney make 5. Champ would make 6. They have half the roster to fill out and have recruited like everyone is coming back. You always over recruit in hoops.
