At long last Pitt has updated the football roster for the 2013 season. Confirmations really of what was expected. Arthur Doakes who everyone knew was not going to be back with Pitt is gone. He has transferred to Stony Brook in New York.
Dan Mason is also gone. Suspended for the spring for “off the field issues,” all rumors said that he was not going to be returning. And indeed he is not. Obviously there is the “what might have been” before his gruesome injury a few years back against Miami. But his other issues detracted from what was such an inspirational effort on his part to rehab and get on the field last year. My hope is that Mason did enough to earn his degree during his 4 plus years.
Players who had/have legal issues leading to still on-going suspensions are still on the roster. Tra’von Chapman and Khaynin Mosley-Smith are still unclear regarding their chances of playing this year.
