Transfer commitment thread (not just Pitt players)

[pittfan57]

The link below is a quick summary of everything going on with players coming in and going.


1) I think Pitt looks pretty good on paper with where we are with 11 guys as of today. If we get another good addition or so, even better.

2) I think a good chunk of the acc is in trouble again with some really bad teams. Some of these rosters have big glaring holes, including the center position.

3) 2 big names still pending are Mintz and Beekman with regard to the NBA among others.

Any thoughts on who we might get for the last 2 spots? NC has a guard that became available recently, not sure there is any interest

Not sure, but they could do worse than Smith (GT) and the CMU fella. Not sure if they can do better at this point. Making sure Hinson returns is likely most important at this point.

Smith is gone to Utah, I believe

I think if we were able to get Jesse Zarzuela and D’Marco Dunn, it would be about as successful of a roster-building offseason as we could have asked for.

I choose to be optimistic plus he’d be gone by now if those were his intentions .

No matter how talented someone is you only get so many chances , I think he realizes that .

Holy cats. No one is saying his intentions are to leave. I’m sure he didn’t intend to get kicked out of Oakhill or Prolific Prep or leave one of the other 7 high schools he went to. I’m quite certain he didn’t intend to get arrested here.

My god people there are people taking a cautiously pessimistic stance towards his participation in the entire season. That doesn’t make us less Pitt fans. This isn’t hard to figure out.

Jesse Zarzuela is the guy to monitor. If he steps foot on campus next week, the odds of us getting him go up substantially.

I choose to believe that through all his previous issues he has to realize he’s running out of opportunities and will clean up his act . I could be wrong , but I hope for his sake and not just for Pitt bb he’s figured things out .

Gotta love fans such as yourself. Continually talking about how a player on Pitt isn’t going to last, but then washing the balls of a coach who is Pitt’s rival.

Since you are so big on opinions of others. I have one for you. You won’t last 3 years at Freedom.

Oops. Right again!

A smart transfer guard may look at Pitt and say "hey I could jump right in and play for this tourney team"! Any chance for Texas A&M senior guard Andre Gordon ??
