That would make no sense since he's the returning starter. There were rumors that Shell may have been facing a suspension for "failed tests" and with Howard kicked off the team, maybe there are players that feel that Pitt's internal testing policy is too strict. Other D1 programs don't have drug testing.
I have no idea whether this is true or not but if it is, there would have to be reasons other than playing time. Shell was very close with the Clairton 3, even changing his Twitter handle to "bout dat" like the Clairton players have. Wouldn't surprise me if Howard and Webb wound up at WVU. Doesn't everybody?
