Any time a WPIAL player gets any sort of recruiting buzz, Pitt is assumed to be on their list until they narrow down their search and we find out that Pitt didn’t make the cut. That’s the exact case we have with Andrew Sweat, the standout LB from Trinity.
Sweat has just announced this “final six†and unfortunately Pitt isn’t one of the final six. Sweat told Bill Kurelic from BuckeyeGrove.com that “I really like Ohio State, Michigan and Notre Dame. And also Penn State and maybe LSU or Florida.â€
He’ll most likely land at Ohio State you can tell he is definitely getting attention from teams that are always in the hunt for national titles. What are some people saying about him in the comments section?
To say Sweat is overrated is not entirely incorrect.
I cover high school sports locally, and I have seen him play many times. Although I think he is a good player, I noticed he disappeared against other big-time talents. I’m not claiming he is going to be a bust in college, but I could name several other big-named WPIAL recruits from the past few seasons who haven’t lived up to their billing.
The truth is no one knows how a kid is going to perform when he lines up against other talented college athletes. Sweat not including Pitt on his “Final Six†list might be a bit disappointing, but the Panthers should only be interested in players who want to play here.
Well said. Very well said.
I’m disappointed Sweat didn’t put PITT in his final six. I mean every high school junior and senior in the country knows we need LB’s…so they would have a shot at starting at 18 or 19. It’s not a big hit on us because they haven’t even played a game as a senior yet…shit happens. I’m sure Wanny has some bases covered and he is already looking at option 2 and 3 as well as sleepers.
