From what I’m gathering, there should be a contingent of Pitt fans invading the RAC for Saturday night’s game. In that group, is a subset of loyal readers, which is always a plus.
The game will be on ESPN2 at 8pm.
Pitt fans probably aren’t too surprised to see Rutgers already showing improvement under Mike Rice. We’ve seen him work hard to build Robert Morris. What has surprised me is how, even though he only spent one year on Pitt’s staff, he gives Coach Dixon as much credit (if not more) as St. Joe’s Phil Martelli for helping him along in his coaching career.
It’s a big one. If you check the Scout.com list of players visiting this weekend, it’s very surprising to see a few 4-star players this late in the game for Coach Todd Graham. Especially when you consider there isn’t even a basketball game at the Pete involved in the visit.
Lafayette Pitts, despite his verbal to Rutgers, is still coming for a visit it seems. Not sure if it makes a difference or not. Considering Pitt’s need at cornerback, it can’t hurt to keep trying up until Tuesday.
