As expected Eugene Harvey signed a LOI to Seton Hall yesterday. New Coach Bobby Gonzalez is slightly happy.

“Eugene is a monumental recruit for us,” Gonzalez said. “We desperately needed a point guard, and we got a big-time player and person. In my career I’ve signed a lot of New York City point guards wherever I’ve been, and Eugene is potentially the best point guard I’ve ever recruited, signed or had the ability to coach.”

Harvey is expected to immediately start at Seton Hall.

Pitt will likely have 5 scholarships to offer now for 2007-08. Banking this one plus Seniors Gray, Kendall, Hudson and Graves.

I will posit something on the optimistic side. Pitt has no glaring needs for this year, and Coach Dixon’s main focus is finding the best new assistants to hire. These assistants will be in their first year with Pitt and arguably will be highly, highly motivated to make a big first impression on the recruiting trail.

A good case could be made that this year could be the big recruiting year for Pitt. Especially if Gray returns for his Senior year and Pitt has the season that is expected. No pressure or anything.
