Wade would be perfect

he would be an incredibly dynamic player from day 1 at PITT. Just hope this staff can keep him away from Knoxville .
 
Clairton to Pitt route still appears to be alive and well, a MUST get recruit for the staff. Any word if he's going to compete at any post season games like the Army All-American Game and announce there?

I'm pretty sure he said he's announcing on 12/17. Whether that has any connection to any events I have no idea.
 
He's early enrolling so he can't participate I don't believe as he would be moving into college that week
 
Have to feel good that at least Pitt has the advantage of many Pitt players from Clairton being in his ear trying to get him to enroll at Pitt.
 
Maybe his shuttle time isn't all that, but Wade would probably be the most important recruit for Pitt in many years. Both perception wise and for what he would bring to the team.

He would fill a position of need, and any time you are able to procure a 5 star it is a boost to your program.
 
That's why I was thinking Matthews may have been the most important recruit last year

I'm not sure how "close" those 2 actually were. I think there was a little bit of jealousy factor going on there with Matthews being the sr playing a position of need for the team while Wade the jr stole the highlights.

Pitt needs to pull out the red carpet for this guy....he's THAT important. We as fans need to shower him with all that we can as well. WADE2PITT needs to be the most important recruiting message we can deliver over the next 70 days!!
 
I post on a sports gambling forum with a guy who is an absolute lunatic Tennessee fan, and when I brought up Wade's recruitment he hadn't even heard of him.

Must be nice to recruit so high you're not even aware when a 5 star is on the verge of possibly committing to you.

welcome to the upper half of the SEC.
 
I've lived in Knoxville for 4 years... The level of racism that still exist there is like nowhere else in the states.
 
I just hope Lamont stays home. I don't think it matters where we play him, he would be on the field and dominating right away. This kid is so strong and so physical with good speed and skills. Immediate impact player!
 
I don't think so. Tennessee has not been upper half of SEC since early 2000's. They just started to right the ship, but still have a long way to go.
I agree, but they are currently in the upper half of the SEC. There's flux year after year in all conferences, so I focused on this and last year.

Stories of racism towards former Tennessee basketball coach cionzo Martin are well documented

Cuonzo Martin wasn't treated fairly, no doubt. However, most of that had to do with the fans simply being unhappy with the product, and they thought Martin lacked the personality of Bruce Pearl. He might percieve it to be a race thing, but he would have gotten the same treatment if he were white.

Fair or not, Stallings will probably recieve some of the same treatment here from the pro-Jamie crowd if he doesn't live up to their expectations.
 
Maybe....

But Martin took Tennessee to the sweet 16 and then left for Cal

If things were so great...and taking tenn to the sweet 16 as a pretty nice season....why leave????

Unless there is more to the story?
 
It was a nice tourney run, but TN barely made the tourney. They were in one of the play-in games. The damage to the relationship had already been done. Some prominent boosters had already turned up the heat and were doing petty things to entice him to leave.
 
Stating the obvious, but he would look great taking a few snaps on the end around in Canada 's offense, plus being a shUT down corner stepping in right away on defense.
Excellent point and another Whitehead Duo!

Barkley & Sanders will be running the next 1 and 2 years at PSU!

Pitt Is It is the better opportunity as Boyd and now Matthews proved out!
