Man, another super impressive recruit. A slew of offers, but another guy with the offers from Harvard, Yale and Princeton... just insane. Not only is Narduzzi recruiting great players, but obviously he is looking for the smart players as well.

Remember the Alaimo!
(someone had to do it...)
Kid looks huge on the video. Looks kind of Scott Orndoff-ish to me.
Welcome to Pitt, Matt.
Go Pitt.

Great Pick up. Love the offer sheet!! A lot of these guys we are picking up are rated as very high 3's. so for rivals, a 5.7 rating. 4 star is a 5.8 rating. To me, not much difference (for those of you who love the Stars). The offer sheet for this guy speaks for itself.
Welcome aboard!
Not sure why Narduzzi would allow baseball.Is he going to play baseball at Pitt too? Suppose to be real good at that too.
tell him its ok, get him to sign then when he is a freshman, communicate the importance of spring ball, weightlifting etc and 9 out of 10 times, the kid will quit it on his own. No reason to fight this battle until you have to.. kind of like telling guys like conredge Collins he'll be tailback or Darrell Strong that he will absolutely get a shot at playing QB. first practice, stick to your word, second practice, move him..Not sure why Narduzzi would allow baseball.
To be a top P5 football athlete it takes all year to work on whats important.
Getting Bigger, Stronger, Bulking up is key in football and not so much for baseball.
Strenght programs for the two sports are very different.
Our HS ( where our kids went) has one of the top wrestling programs in PA and the country. Even at that level kids are discouraged from playing even two sports if they want to be a nationally ranked HS wrestler.
As I said before even in HS it takes full dedication to be at the top level and I would think this applies at the U level too!

The trend to making kids pick a sport at an early age is a shame and generally counter productive. Most of the NFL draft picks were multi-sport athletes in high school, which says a lot.
Tsk. It's like you regard these amateur sports as some kind of multi billion dollar business or something.tell him its ok, get him to sign then when he is a freshman, communicate the importance of spring ball, weightlifting etc and 9 out of 10 times, the kid will quit it on his own.

I do? How so? I simply am suggesting you tell a kid what he wants to hear until he signs, then you introduce him to real lifeTsk. It's like you regard these amateur sports as some kind of multi billion dollar business or something.
Well, I kinda disagree. Its not really apples to apples since it wasnt a trend so to speak. But I am in my 40s and my high school baseball coach didnt MAKE ME quit football, basketball and soccer, but he met with my parents and I and suggested it because I felt I can get a baseball scholarship, which I did. I dont think if you are fringe type kid that wants to get a scholarship that splitting time over a bunch of sports is the way to go. Just like if you want to be a great physicist you probably shouldnt split your studies over 7 or 8 other fields
im curious what kind of instructional work, practice, development you learned in high school in the off season, that helped you obtain a scholarship? And do you believe without this off season development, you'd be a lesser baseball player?Well, I kinda disagree. Its not really apples to apples since it wasnt a trend so to speak.

Who is to say you that you wouldn't have been a better baseball player by playing other sports as well? That's all I'm saying and what the results generally seem to indicate.
Well, I both wrestled and played golf in high school. How about that combination?
that's a new one.. I kind of wish I got into volleyball in high school, that would have been fun. im not tall nor can i jump so any sort of collegiate career would have been out but I think I would have had the skills to compete at the high school level..Well, I both wrestled and played golf in high school.

Lacrosse is a great sport. You know, my wrestling buddies thought it was cool I was on the Golf Team. But, my teammates on the Golf Team thought i was CRAZY for being on the wrestling team. Go Figure.that's a new one..

my little girl is 8, im pushing lacrosse on her, same for my son when he gets older. that looks like a fun-ass sport to play.
always felt bad for wrestlers in high school. I was in high school before they created the rules that a kid cant drop a certain amount of weight so the wrestlers in my school would spend the day or two before a match, not eating and spitting into a cup to make weight.. Probably a good idea that governing bodies stopped that nonsense so teenage boys wouldn't try and lose 7 pounds in a day to compete in a match..Lacrosse is a great sport.

The guy running 4th team right now? I highly doubt they are shaping the roster around him.Sounds like a great pick up.
I know TMac threw something like 50 percent of his passes to the TE so I think we are loading him up for the future
