Twins will announce today ...

Skimming the UMass forum, it seems like they all thought they had them too. Martin was supposed to close these two. Agreed good win for us today.
So much so that he kept saying it after we signed a guy with multiple years of eligibility left. So my guess is that this won't stop him from continuing to say it.
"Well yeah, but that guy doesn't count."
"Well, ah, yeah, um, none of those guys really count either."
I believe they said that they wanted to here a year earlier but covid prevented that from happening. The possible upside imo is they just have 1 year of high level ball so far and made great improvements in that year.
I believe yesterday he was contesting how many years Hinson should have left.
Nice additions by Capel. Hopefully they can contribute this coming year. Anytime you get two top 100 kids to commit that's a win
Haven’t looked at any film on them but welcome. Most articles say the one is better than the other. So if the better one is in foul trouble they could always switch jerseys at half time…

It's a win ? Pitt beat out UMASS ,there an Atlantic 10 bottom feeder not saying that these kids won't be good ,but are we at the point calling beating out UMass a win
True, but Frank Martin is the coach there now so it’s still a solid recruiting win considering where our program is at currently.
Not sure how it translates to ACC play, but doesn’t look like they’ll be struggling to find minutes. The range ..that’s awesome at 7’
Beggars can’t be choosers. Also there was rumors they were at the scholarship limit
Hesitant to say .. but with that height and pure shot does remind a bit of Chet Holmgren ...and at the least seems to be an answer for all those times Hugley was double and triple teamed ... can't see that happening any more with the twins who can shoot in the corners ... just seems to be a great get for Pitt ...
Well someone can tell Frank he's going to have to wait until at least next January, when one brother is banging the other's girlfriend in an illegally-parked stolen car.

Happy to be wrong for once but these 2 really confused the crap out of me. Some sites had them as Top 100, some had them ranked really low. And they weren't being recruited by programs much higher than Pitt level. All and all, Capel has done relatively ok this off-season.
247 seems to agree as well.
Pittsburgh lands Diaz twins
Jorge and Guillermo Diaz, twin brothers from Spain who played for IMG Academy this past season, announced their commitment to Pittsburgh this afternoon. The twins were

Recruiting them together may have been the key, other programs recruited them separate, maybe the came to Pitt purely to stay together.247 seems to agree as well.

Maybe they learned their lesson from the last time around
The chances that you are both actually happy and wrong for the first time are 0.000%.
If SMF would have said 0.001%, he would be proclaiming that he was right again, "there WAS a chance!"
Yes, these aren't your old BE-style bigs. These are European style bigs who can play well away from the basket with their shooting and passing skills (they look like great passers with good court vision). Which is a perfect compliment to Hugely down low as far as spacing and lineups go.
Europeans play a much more team game than Americans, they don’t focus solely on taking your man to the hole and dunking over him .
Possible miss due to shoulder injury from patting himself on the back on the football board
Pitt recruited them together because they need warm bodies, and both of them qualify for that.
Maybe they recruited them to be the foundation for future teams coached by your Bud !
