With the amount of available ships rising I believe we will see a one or two grad transfers coming in next year.
Vader's Recruiting
- Thread starter Vader_Storm
- Start date
Agree and that'd really be a great approach. Get some seasoned vets to come in and help out immediately for a year. Then get the scholarships right back to use on some top recruits that HCJC will have had a couple of years to work on.
But he couldn't get an email on how to reset his password, so he had to come up with a new user name.
I'd give him credit for that if he hadn't said, practically word for word, the same shit about Justice Kithcart. He didn't have any insight on Xavier Johnson, he just picked the right target for his effusive praise for once. Broken clocks and all that.
I have a better question. And this applies to the old school true golden year crowd that would know years ago. Is this putt12? Because I have not seen a post anywhere near this caliber from anybody for a long time with relation to recruiting .
Have no idea whether Vader is real or a scam.
However, it is amusing that a number of fans on this board prefer to believe that it is made up without facts because they are so conditioned to believing nothing but negative news about Pitt sports that they have to believe anything positive must be in error.
There are some posters on here who consistently try to discredit any information that is positive/encouraging about Pitt.
There are also some posters who consistently try to discredit any information that is negative/discouraging about Pitt.
The difficulty can be in trying to separate the rice from the rat poop. Especially when it comes to the anonymity associated with most posters on sites like this. But it will all come out in time as to whether there is merit to any - or parts - of the OP's information in this case, as it pertains to Pitt's chances. Until it all plays out we can choose to take it as we see fit.
All of the names listed about have been independently linked to Pitt at some point.

Sure. But the subject post contained a lot more information than just names linked to Pitt.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I've had nothing but positive vibes about what Pitt has been doing since they canned Stallings. I'm not conditioned to believe or disbelieve anything based on an inferiority complex that I will never possess.
With that said, my impression of this post is that it's bullshit. That isn't to say that it's all "fake" info, but it's very clearly cobbled together from a lot of disparate sources and by someone without any firsthand insight. Look at every blurb, they're all exactly the same - generalities, vague statements, a little bit of legit info mixed in with a lot of speculation. If someone enjoys the post, that's cool, but I feel like you'd have to be paying very little attention to Pitt to find any insight contained within. Others are free to disagree, that's just my gut feeling.
As far as those players being realistic targets? Of course they are. This is a Jeff Capel team, we all know that he can recruit.
Please speak for no one. You are new here. I used to post here long ago then just watched. This board became unreadable with hate like this. Putt, bman, doke, simmer, all the best posters left years ago. All the guys that had better info then the insiders and it wasn't close. The old posters still remember them. This person comes on here and has 75 likes in 24 hours in a well written detailed post. You think you are better? Write something with substance because it's you that are the one with the bs hating thats going to chase this poster away
I'm assuming that you've forgotten your medication so I'll forgive you for writing something so inane and incoherent. I'm free to share my opinion whenever I want and I'll continue to do so, regardless of your feelings on the matter.
Don’t include simmer and doke in the same company as bman and putt
Bman and putt were awesome .
The other two aren’t close to category
I liked the post, but I have to admit that I don't follow recruiting all that much
and am not involved enough to know what's factual and what isn't. I appreciate
posts like the OP's, but also take them with "a grain of salt."My gut feeling is
that most on here aren't involved enough to know either. I'm much more
concerned with watching the progress of the program and offering my
opinions on what I see happening on the floor with my own eyes.
I do have a good friend who is in the business of rating h.s. players. His
reports are then sold to college coaches. These coaches obviously
cannot see every player, and they use the rating forms as a basic
screening device. This guy's evaluation process is a year long endeavor.
He is on a first name basis with many college coaches and also many h.s.
coaches. I occasionally ask him about a player that interests me.
It was interesting to hear his thoughts on Xavier Johnson.

You really have to wonder about someone who thinks that simmer and doke were ever among the best posters.
Back in the day, BMan may have been the best!
It doesn't take long to figure out who likes to post about Pitt basketball and who likes to post about what clickbait crap they are thinking about.
Don’t have to think too hard.
It’s likely a new alias for doke/
The relentless self promoter who always used aliases to prop himself up
It wasn't close.
I remember all of them. I still have some of the old posts saved because I love Pitt basketball. Bman was best in game analysis on the board. He broke down the teams strengths and weaknesses to a t. Still remember the Sweet 16 Game vs Ok State with Page covering Lucas and Brown on Allen, no one thought that besides bman. Still remember the big east title win and his information. His recruiting info from NY was awesome too. Some of the best ever from bman, he wrote it, then it happened in the game. Putt was by far the recruit expert and it's not close and his in game stuff was great too. The stuff on Fields, Young, Wanamaker, Adams, Blair. He knew everything. Stats, height weight, injuries, recruits from left field. Fields was a zero star and Adams a zero star and Putt knew they were great. He knew Sam Young was a star. Putt always knew and people always questioned him, including you DT. Doke was outstanding. Had the information on Paul Harris and Harris wasn't even in the database at that point. Syracuse didn't even heard of him before doke. Doke had outstanding resources for recruits and where they were going to school. His in game analysis wasn't as good, but so what. His resources on recruiting was terrific and look at the people that follow him. Simmer was good. He was an aau coach with connections and knew a good bit about recruiting and basketball. So was harve, whirly, and others. For all the crap Curtain gets, he was right on the Pitt freshmen, right on Capel calling him a grandslam hire when people were not sure, right on the coaches he wanted with Keatts, Mussleman, Hurley, and Oats. Those were his 4 and they all look like rising star coaches. Curtain has wild predictions too but often great insight. How many of you wanted a loser coach like Enfield? You know who you are. There is too much negativity and put down here. I've already been told to take my medication and that I'm Chris Dokish. Maybe Vader is Santa Claus because he is giving awesome information like its Christmas for free. And people are getting on him, why? Thank you Vader, it's like the good days with the bmans and putts of the world again.
It's Steel Curtain. Nothing he posts is real. It's information that's out there but exaggerates and makes guesses.
If he consolidates info and posts it here, more power to him. Most of us would never have read it otherwise. You go Darth!
Yup. Rather than just slam the guy and call the info BS why not contribute something and challenge specific comments the OP made. All of the criticisms I’ve see are simply boring and childish personal attacks
I loved Sam as a recruit, but I did have some questions about how very good he would turn out to be during his first two years. I’m certain most had those questions including Bman and Putt12.
I agree. I see nothing wrong here. But with all recruiting info, we shouldn’t get too excited until anyone actually signs with us.
Either way, I like the updates. Even if we don't get any of them, I'd rather have hope than endless Jamie Dixon threads and self-defeating threads.
