I think the Pitt Athletic Department and Coach Dave Wannstedt should send a letter of thanks to the Miami Herald regarding Gus Mustakas’ verbal commitment.
A family friend took a picture Sunday of Mustakas shaking hands with Wannstedt, and the family released the picture to The Herald.
According to Pitt assistant coach Charlie Partridge, releasing the photo would have been against NCAA rules because photos of college coaches and recruits are not allowed to be released before signing day.
A scolding from the NCAA is never a great way to start your first year.
