WPIAL football has always been a place where big colleges recruit and where many great players are born. Two of the five most popular in the area could be headed to Pitt.
The most talked about players are Terrelle Pryor, Lucas Nix, Andrew Sweat, Shayne Hall and Baldwin. The good news for Pitt fans is that PSI believes the Panthers have a very good chance to land 2 of the 5 players.
There has been a little bit of uneasiness about Nix not making any type of commitment, even a soft verbal. I’m not worried yet because no matter what we’ve seen on the field the last two years, we know Wannstedt is a master recruiter and won’t let any player slip through easily. It’s also not uncommon for a young player to want to go through the entire experience (in stead of committing too quickly then dropping out).
Baldwin, the WR with a 4.4 40, also might elect to stay close to home.
Recently, the 6-6, 215 wide receiver spoke to Allen Wallace from Scout.com and said, “I’m just giving everyone an opportunity to recruit me. I want a good education and that’s a main priority for me. I also don’t want to redshirt. I would like to jump right into it.â€
Heh, a high school athlete who cares about his education. Mr. Baldwin, may I show you the good things about our school? Get a good education and plenty of playing time if you stay close to home.
