Pitt landed two commits in the last day. One is a 2022 linebacker. 5.7 three star!!! (and let me tell you he looks fast on Tape)

Another is a 2023 WR. Unranked. What? Booo…. (kidding kidding…if there is one thing this staff has shown it’s that their talent evaluation is not too shabby on these under-the-radar guys)

Welcome to Pitt Gentlemen

2023 WR – Zion Fowler

And AJ Davis moving on….I never really felt that he fulfilled his potential, nonetheless this comes as a bit of a surprise.

There is an old saying that goes along the lines of “Nobody ever thinks about the kicker until you need one.” Well maybe it’s not exactly an old saying, but I heard an ex-NFL radio jock say it once and it stuck with me. And to prove my point, if I said the name “Sean Conley” to you, you’d probably think “who’s the hell is that guy?”

He’s a former kicker of course. For Pitt. All Big-East actually. But you didn’t know that. Primarily because he played on one of the most underwhelming teams in modern Pitt history, and also because well…he’s a kicker. And so if you saw Conley’s memoir on the bookshelf, you’d probably walk right past it.

That would be a mistake.

Pitt landed a verbal from Elijah Staham yesterday. He’s (gulp) unranked on Rivals.com and had only (sigh) two other offers (Akron and Cincy).

50% of POV fans will say “HEY PAT STOP SIGNING UNRANKED RECRUITS!”

But I will say that all D-line recruits get a pass from me, given that Pitt recently turned two, two-stars into consensus All-Americans and looks to be loaded with talent across all positions. Until that production drops off I don’t think anybody has any room to say anything.
