Strange recruiting period. You have football players all over the country committing to programs, or who have committed. Pitt so, far in the May period hasn’t had a one. What’s more, unlike the prior two years, there has been little word in papers about where Coach Wannstedt is in his recruiting travels.

They are probably unrelated — well, I hope so. The lack of news stories of Wannstedt stopping at a particular HS or area is more to do with the lack of newsworthiness at this point. It’s no longer a new and novel thing, he’s no longer the former NFL-Coach, but just another college coach who hasn’t won anything or been to a bowl game. Damn, that hurts to type.

As for the lack of commits, I’m hoping it’s because many of the players Pitt is pursuing have yet to commit. That does seem to be the case with many of them.

Terrelle Pryor doesn’t seem to be in any rush to make a decision. He and the school seem to be enjoying the attention.

Shayne Hale a top LB out of Gateway in Monroeville is even more explicit that he won’t be deciding much beyond his top-5 by the end of the summer.

“About my official visits, I haven’t thought about a top five, but I’ll get to that sometime this summer,” Hale said. “I’ll probably narrow my choices a little before the season and probably a lot more after it, but I definitely won’t make a final decision until after the season.

The good news is that Pitt is still included in the mix.

Worth noting that Tino Sunseri, the son of former Pitt All-American LB and interim head coach, has committed to Louisville. Tino is a QB, and with Pitt getting Bostick last season, I don’t even think Pitt or the Sunseris seriously considered a match.
