This was phoned into me on my way out the door Shawn, but now that I’m back I can confirm. Anthony Morelli, one of the top HS QBs in the country has made a verbal commitment to Pitt.
Morelli was part of a heated recruiting battle that saw the superstar QB receive an amazing 43 scholarship offers. He chose Pitt over Notre Dame in the end. Morelli had offers from schools such as Florida State, Ohio State, Tennessee, Notre Dame, and UCLA, among others.
The “others” included a late in the game run at him by Penn State after their targeted QB, picked Michigan.
Depending on which recruiting site and/or “expert” you look for this sort of information, Morelli is either the #10, #14 or #41 (subs. req’d for this one) overall recruit in the country (ranking as the #2, #3, or #9 QB in HS).
It’s still a great commitment for Pitt… when he actually signs the letter of intent.
