Here's what we've collected so far about the destinations for the Pitt staff tonight:
- Pat Narduzzi will head to Beaver Falls to watch the Tigers host Hopewell. Beaver Falls has a few prospects to watch, but the main attraction is four-star defensive tackle Donovan Jeter, who decommitted from Notre Dame earlier this week. It sounds like Narduzzi will be making that trip solo - usually head coaches have an assistant in tow - but it's clear that Pitt plans to keep up its pursuit of Jeter now that he is back on the market.
- Offensive line coach John Peterson will also be local: he'll be watching Pitt commit Gabe Houy as Upper St. Clair plays at Hampton.
- As first posted by @Ogden1325, offensive coordinator Matt Canada will head up 28 today to check in on Armstrong standout Zane Dudek. Pitt really hadn't had much contact with Dudek, but it seems like it's picking up a little bit.
- Defensive coordinator Josh Conklin won't be local, but he'll be in-state. Conklin's headed to Philadelphia to watch top cornerback target Kenny Bennett. There's some indication that Bennett could be making a decision in the near future, so it will be important to get in front of him and maintain contact. Pitt would love to land Bennett in this class - especially if he comes with Lamont Wade (the obvious No. 1 target).
- Receivers coach Kevin Sherman won't be in-state today. Instead, he'll be in Georgia to take in Connor Heyward's Senior Night at Peachtree Ridge. Heyward's family will be in attendance as well, and that will provide a good opportunity for Sherman to spend some time with them. Heyward also plans to attend one of Pitt's final home games later this season.
UPDATE: Sherman is actually going to eastern PA today and he'll attend Darian Street's game tonight.
- Tight ends coach Tim Salem will be out-of-state, too; as he has most of the week, he'll be in New Jersey tonight to watch Don Bosco Prep host Paramus Catholic. Both schools perenially produce top talent, but the No. 1 recruit in this game is four-star 2017 linebacker Drew Singleton (although his teammate, 2017 defensive tackle Corey Bolds, is intriguing as well). Singleton is a stud from Paramus Catholic and he visited Pitt over the summer; he's probably a long shot for the Panthers, but they're still staying in contact with him. Don Bosco always has talent, too, and there are some FBS prospects in the 2017 class, but I suspect Salem will be focused on 2018 targets including defensive end Tyler Friday and defensive back Kevin Brennan.
- Cornerbacks coach Renaldo Hill will head south to watch Pitt LB commit Cameron Bright. Park Crossing also has a four-star 2018 offensive lineman - Marcus Jenkins - as well as 2017 QB Malik Cunningham, who is committed to Louisville. The team Bright will be facing, Clay-Chalkville, features 2017 five-star WR Nico Collins.
- That's what we have so far. We're still working to confirm destinations for Rob Harley and Tom Sims; my guess is that Harley will go to Central Catholic's game against Norwin tonight since it's the Vikings' last home game of the regular season, but we'll see what develops over the course of the day and we'll update this thread as new info comes out.
UPDATE: Rob Harley is going to Kyle Nunn's game tonight.
