Over at NBE Basketball Report, Anthony Jaskulski (of Pittsburgh Sports Report) has a couple Q&A’s of interest. One with Pitt verbal commit Lamar Patterson.
Q. What area do you think you need to improve on with your game?
A. I want to improve everything. My dribbling, my shooting, rebounding, every category I want to get better at. There is always room for improvement in basketball.
There’s also one with Andrew Fitzgerald.
Q. You said Pittsburgh was very high on your list. What makes them so special?
A. I like how they feed the ball inside, and their guards are tough and know how to feed the big men the ball. It seems like they play competitive basketball and know how to win, and that’s what I like.
Fitzgerald, according to Scouts, Inc./ESPN.com (Insider subs.) is a top-150 recruit but he needs to work on his conditioning. Scout.com puts him as a 4-star and the #13 Center prospect nationally. Rivals.com doesn’t have a ranking for him at this time (they haven’t updated their 2009 ranking list since November). I’m not sure how tall Fitzgerald is at this point. Sites have listed the HS junior as anywhere from 6’7″ to 6’9″.
did any of you here see this. Lunardi has projected Pitt as a 1 seed next year (i know its ridiculous, but its exciting).
