Sorry I missed the Sunday morning podcast for this week – my family took me out to Father’s Day Brunch at Laurel Racecourse for the all-you-can-eat buffet and wagering on the horseys.

Spent $87 on brunch and lost $25 on the nags so Dad was out of pocket $100 on the day. Thanks Family!!

Here are Pitt’s nine 2019 verbal commits as of this writing; not a bad haul for the 15 guests here on Official Visits weekend – and that is just up to now. Maybe we get one or two more. Those fans who get off on Florida players will be excited – although the only other FL schools to have offered our recruits so far are USF, Florida International, FL Atlantic and FL A&M. Wondering where Florida, Florida State Miami and UCF are with these kids?

From Rivals.com:

NAME	POS	LOCATION	HT	WT	RATING
Davis Beville	QB	Greenville, SC	6’6″	205	3* 5.7
Brandon Mack	DE	Montgomery, AL	6’4″	215	3* 5.7
Travis Koontz	TE	Ventura, CA	6’5″	260	3* 5.7
Brandon Hill	DB	Apopka, FL	6’0″	190	3* 5.6
Deandre Jules	DE	Germantown, MD	6’3″	220	3* 5.6
Calijah Kancey	DT	Miami, FL	6’1″	265	3* 5.6
Vincent Davis	RB	Fort Lauderdale, FL	5’9″	160	3* 5.5
Leslie Smith	LB	Miami, FL	6’0″	189	3* 5.5
Khadry Jackson	DB	Orlando, FL	6’2″	200	0* NR

Funny that our recruit with the best offer (Nebraska) is non-ranked, however that is the best of the bunch. The others have similar P5 offers as Pitt’s offer out are.

As I said in the podcast – if you really want the best take on Pitt’s current recruiting then you should listen to Rivals.com’s Chris Peak’s twice weekly “Panther-Lair” podcasts found here.

Here are our past Florida kids. I bolded those who were above average players:

Rashad Duncan

Tommie Duhart

Gus Mustakas and Steve Dell

Greg Romeus

Jabaal Sheard

Greg Williams
