Here’s the story from Bostick’s local paper.

So why did he pick Pitt?

“They didn’t recruit me like the other schools recruited me,” said Bostick, whose younger brother Adam will play tight end for the Blue Streaks this fall.

“They were honest up front. They told me what they were thinking, and I told them what I was thinking. We collaborated, and everything came across honest and straight forward. The facts were always on the table. I liked that a lot.”

Bostick also liked the fact that Pitt runs a similar offense to what he’s been running at Township the last two years.

“They run the West Coast offense … multiple stuff, and they spread the ball around,” Bostick said. “It’s a great offense with a great offensive coordinator who has been in the NFL.”

Cavanaugh, a Pitt grad who quarterbacked the Panthers to the national championship in 1976, has three Super Bowl rings: two as a player — for the 49ers in 1984 and the Giants in 1990 — and one as a coach, in 2000, when he was the Ravens’ offensive coordinator.

“This is definitely a program that’s going to be in the top 10 in the next couple of years,” Bostick said. “The players are there. The coaches are there. The schemes are there. I’m very fortunate.”

Bostick also said that he planned to enroll early at Pitt — January — so he can take part in spring practice. Some minor errors in the story as it said that Bostick was the first commit to the class of 2007 (he’s the third). Picture of Bostick at the press conference.

It’s worth noting how much he seemed to stress Matt Cavanaugh as much as he did Coach Wannstedt. When Cavanaugh was hired and even after this first season, one area of question (and there are many) was about his recruiting ability. It seems that the early returns are positive on this issue.
