Boy, I hope there’s a time limit on jinxes, as Joe Starkey writes on how LeSean McCoy needs to come up Aces for Pitt (last week, Starkey wrote a piece on how Sam Young needs to be big on offense for Pitt to do well and Young promptly did not score against ‘Nova). The part that should really matter in the story was what the head coach at Milford Academy had to say about Coach Wannstedt.

“I felt like I knew him my whole life,” said Chaplick, who met Wannstedt last year during the recruitment of McCoy, who has verbally committed. “When I came to Pitt for the first time, he personally gave me the tour. You could just see in his face the pride he has in that school — and it wasn’t because he’s getting paid to coach. It’s in his heart.”

Any rumors of Penn State still trying to get McCoy were shot down by Chaplick, as well.

It also is clear that Pitt has officially joined the conga line of schools offering Terrelle Pryor in both football and basketball.

Jeannette football coach Ray Reitz used the word “crazy” to describe the past few weeks at the school as big-time college coaches are showing up to express their interest in heavily recruited junior quarterback-defensive back Terrelle Pryor.

Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt was in a school office with Reitz Friday while Notre Dame assistant Ron Powlus waited outside.

Ohio State coach Jim Tressel came to Jeannette earlier in the week. Michigan coach Lloyd Carr and Wisconsin coach Bret Bielama also have stopped by in recent weeks, as well as numerous assistant coaches.

The dead period of contact between players and recruits is now underway. No contact until signing day.
