I just spoke with OL target Walter Rouse, who visited Pitt today. I'll have an article shortly, but I wanted to share this quote.
"I liked Pitt coming in but there were some schools that were above Pitt. Coming out of the visit, my mom and I were really surprised. I feel like I have some really good relationships with those coaches now after meeting Coach Narduzzi in person and Coach Johnson and Coach Watson and Coach Salem and Coach Powell - seeing all those guys together and interacting with them, I really loved it. They shot up my list a little bit. I feel like I’m reconsidering all my schools and what I’m looking for, what’s important.
"One of the things Pitt did well, they showed me Pitt as it is; they showed me what it is. They didn’t say it was better than this program or that; they just showed me, ‘This is our school, this is Pittsburgh,’ and I was able to see they were better than some other programs. There could be a school with a big football program, but what saw was that Pitt has big football plus really good academics and a lot of other things. They really showed me something."
