Members of Pitt’s 2005 basketball recruiting class are in action today. Some big games in the NY/NJ area.

It will be interesting to see how MHS fares on the road tonight at Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey. The Ironmen feature Pitt-bound 6-7 forward Tyrell Biggs, one of the more intriguing bigger players in the state since he possesses both both bulk and agility. Biggs can hurt you inside or out, although this year’s Bosco edition is not nearly as strong as last season’s group that won the Bergen Jamboree, but lost a regular-season game at Montclair.

And in another game:

No. 6 St. Mary’s of Manhasset with its three Division I players (North Carolina-signee Danny Green and Tyrone Hanson and Tyson Johnson, who are each going to Monmouth) will face Xaverian and Pitt-bound Levance Fields in the first of back-to-back televised games on MSG Network.

Still nice to read articles where the context treats players going to Pitt as not settling or as representative of the how good the players are.
