I’m just wondering. There’s the whole Deandre Kane affair, where Pitt probably doesn’t need him. Still, because he’s a local product they keep him hanging around. Which messes with Seton Hall that really wants him — and just needs some recruits.
Then there is this.
Pittsburgh associate head coach Tom Herrion is slated to come watch Jarrid Famous tonight against TCI at the Gauchos gym.
Herrion will be in New York checking out a few high school games during the day.
Famous is a 6-foot-11 center from Westchester Community College who is leading the NJCAA in rebounding at 14 per game and ranks No. 5 in scoring at 24 points per game.
Famous is really being pursued by Seton Hall. Not even sure why Pitt is interested in him, but hey it keeps the Pirates off-balance. That’s always amusing.
I believe this would take the 2009-10 Panthers from a legit Top 10 team down to 20-25th. And don’t think it may not happen … in his blog the other day, Bob Smizik, Post-Gazette, listed a mock draft he found where Blair was picked 19th. It’s not that a mock draft at this time is accurate, it is that if Blair does declare, he is a likely mid to late 1st round pick …… (does this sound familiar? a talented Pitt sophomore who really loves the college environment but then succumbs to life’s realities)
