TE Rawlings
- Thread starter Pitt1992
- Start date
Rawlings committed to UVA. Interestingly he put in bold print and underlined ACADEMIC on his Twitter post as to why. UVA is an outstanding school. Best of luck to him.
Pitt has a top 10 ranked pharmacy school
Uva ranked about 121
It’s the 5th best pharmacy school in Virginia
Other than that, it is a great school. LOL
truly beginning to despise the WPIAL. Local media doesn't help much though. Guys like Ty Law were trumpeted as hometown legends when inducted into the HOF when he left town at 18 and never looked back, even playing for the rival patriots. Cook with a big article last week on Swin Cash being another local legend. Sorry, you leave at 18 you aren't a local anymore.
I am shocked, but I guess I shouldn’t be. On Saturday, I was told that 3 of the 4 Florida visitors had committed and 1 of the 2 local kids had committed. I also was told we might get the other Florida kid but we weren’t going to get the other local kid. When Pinder posted that he was committing later this week, I knew who the three Florida commits were. I just assumed the local commit was Rawlings, in part because during his visit Hayes was retweeting tweets about tOSU. Didn’t seem likely he was committing to Pitt.
I didn’t take too seriously the comment that Pitt wasn’t going to get the other local kid because Rawlings didn’t have a lot of good offers.
This makes the TE recruiting very problematic. We can’t keep relying on grad transfers or JUCOs but we don’t have many options in the senior class.

Agree - If a local player does not choose Pitt or even PSU, nobody cares once you leave. They care about the players who play for the teams they support. That's not being insensitive or mean spirited. That's the truth. When you ask the locals to name the greatest players in Western PA, chances are the the first names they blurt out aren't Ty Law, Terrelle Pryor, or Jason Taylor. Unless your name is Unitas, Montana, or Namath, you don't get a mention...
exactly. The late Marc Marotta....left for Marquette, stayed and did business there in Milwaukee and was extremely successful and well liked. Good for him, he made it big in his adopted hometown. Just can't have it both ways. He is no longer a local. Same to a certain extent with Andy Warhol. By most accounts he hated Pittsburgh and when he was gone that was it. But we still like to claim him as one of our own when in actuality he wanted no parts of us.
It sounds much better to say you chose somewhere because of academics than simply because you liked it better. Considering all universities are about academics.
Makes no sense. But works these days.
