Wade

[GT74]

I know it has been said many times, but if Pitt could get Wade to join Ford at Pitt, they would have two special athletes to go along with the young guys presently on the roster. I think both have a chance to be impact players, and surely would fit into Narduzzi's prototype style of defensive players. Actually, I think both of them are also capable of playing on offense, so they could be Whitehead types. Watching highlights of these guys was a pleasure. Let's hope for Wade to stay home.

When you are a 5* player 9 times out of 10, you are dominant on both sides of the balll. Wade as a Pitt commit would secure the secondary and allow this defense to become one of our best ever in a few years.

And a few plays on offense, a perfect fit. Glad he isn't from McKeesport or there would be no chance. Helps he is from a Pitt friendly program

speaking of mckeesport, he did want that michigan offer so he could play with hudson. him and hudson are tight.

Speaking of Hudson. How is he doing at Michigan?

I really wanted him the most out of last years class. Him attacking in Narduzzi's defense would of been a tremendous weapon.

Hudson wanted to leave home

He's not on the depth chart, so I imagine he's red shirting...

 

[vegasgreed]

i didn't expect for one second for hudson to have a big year, they are loaded right now on defense.

 

[King Of All Message Boards]

I thought I read on this board that Hudson was playing special teams but maybe I'm incorrect. Or someone did say it and they're incorrect.

 

[TIGER-PAUL]

You're correct, you read it. An someone was correct in saying it.

 

[9nationalchampionships]

Wouldn't he be leaving home for every away game?

he tweeted a picture of him tackling Sanders so I would assume he is seeing some action

well we saw how adams wanting to play with ford worked out so I don't put a lot of stock in that. Besides there is Matthews here.

 

[medixman]

Wade should stay in Pittsburgh it's where he belongs and yes 9 I'm serious!Just like Pitts ,decommit from PSU,he should stay in WVa and play for Wvu.Kids should go where they're happiest and I think these two would be best at Pitt and Wvu.bwdik

Someone said he's playing special teams. So they must be where that came from. There is no depth chart for special teams.

Why are Pitt fans so obsessed with the idea of players playing both sides of the ball? Never understood it. It's a really dumb idea

Bill Belicheck has done it quite a bit. Troy Brown, Dan Klecko, Mike Vrabel, etc.

Your thoughts on Whitehead getting a few plays on offense?

Personally I think that's still a very good thing.

Full time or lots of plays on both sides? Not so much IMO.

I don't see an obsession. The issue is that you need better speed and using speedy guys on both sides of the ball makes a lot of sense until you have a team full of speedy guys on both sides of the ball.

Go Pitt.

Pitt fans pounded the Conner at DE idea to death. Whitehead on offense is a good idea because he's so explosive...but just recruit an explosive RB instead. Same with WR. I thought Wade would have been a fantastic RB. But, I also thought Pugh would have been too

So you're against it until you're for it. Excellent.

Kids should go where they are happiest and apparently it is you who decides where that is.

I dont think that is the case. I think the recruit themselves are obsessed with it. The Michigan kid is doing a pretty fantastic job, so did the UCLA guy.

I think the bigger obsession is why we arent doing ...x... when we are doing... y...

So, under this idea Pitt fans are always complaining why Whitehead isnt in there more, or why Ollison isnt, or why arent we throwing downfield, or why arent we throwing to the TE, or why Henderson isnt the QB... I dont know what, but instead of looking at the big picture of us scoring 40 points a game they nit pick over what isnt going on.
