At what point is it just ridiculous the number of Western Carolina guys we bring in?
Matt Zenitz reported Zion Booker (WR from WCU, 5’10, 185 lbs) is visiting Pitt this week. He was WCU 3rd best receiver statistically this year. He may be a good player, he may not be, idk. But, what is the point in getting a 3rd WR from WCU that will just be the exact same thing as the other 2. At some point you have to branch out and get guys that are more diverse.
WCU isn’t the “Georgia” of FCS football. All these guys aren’t going to translate to the FBS level. Having Desmond Reid is obviously awesome and a huge hit that he is as good as he is. It just is unrealistic to expect all these guys to be that good at the P4 level. Knowing the system that Kade Bell wants to run was a good selling point the first year. Now, that should not be a selling point, they aren’t learning quantum physics. You should be able to teach 1-2 transfers from other schools how to play WR in this offense.
With that being said, it would be good to get OT Derek Simmons from WCU. More so bc he is good and at a position of need rather than “knowing the Kade Bell” system.
