May. The very, very quiet time for football and basketball. Outside of recruiting stuff and the police blotter the real news is spotty.
It’s filler time. Speculation on how teams will do. How the depth chart will shake out. Broader NCAA issues. Taking cheap shots at other programs screw-ups — hello there, Rutgers. The ever popular talk of bringing back the Pitt script and/or old colors. Looking back at the stats and record over the past year to see what can be extrapolated
It’s moments like this when I almost miss the expansiopocolypse. Almost.
About the only non-recruiting tidbit of news that is still to come with Pitt is who Jamie Dixon will hire to be an assistant.
Other than that, there’s debating what is it about Steven Adams that gets under the skin of opposing NBA players. It is impressive.
Does this really work? Can someone try and get really drunk and report back on this method?
Same for every round before Savage is picked
And re bb, this may turn out to be an important period depending on the assistant hire, and whether or we add another player… Wonder what’s going on?
Calipari would leave KY for the right opportunity, one where the roster was built to win now. He has issues with the NCAA and the crazy expectations at Kentucky, so leaving isn’t out of the question. He also would love another shot at the nba.
He has an absolutely stacked team for next year. If the right NBA job opens up after next year (or maybe even this year, Golden State) he’ll go. Just won’t be Lakers this year.
And in football, ND trumps everyone in NYC for football. And we got them too, partly now, fully down the road.
As for Buttgers, more of the same…..foot in mouth problem….for them. Love it !
That would hit this state like a tidal wave if it happened ! haha 🙂
Hope he get’s it !
Duh for me. But, who is Huckleberry Hound?
H2P
Last year, maybe a year and a half ago??
Did that not happen, or is he sitting out a year, or is he on the team and I never realized it??
With each day that passes without news of a hiring, I’m thinking that Jamie may decide he doesn’t need a replacement and is just fine with things the way they are.
Roy Boy Williams….aka…Huckleberry Hound
While I wish it were the case, not so sure.
Got to question… if Herrion were in line for the job and anxious to take it… why hasn’t it gone down?
After the first 3 commits happened quickly, I thought this recruiting year might go differently than last. Now it seems we are back to waiting for the floodgates to open after Pitt holds its June camp for high school prospects. Didn’t HCPC get like 9 commits in 10 days around the end of June last year?
This is a very important class for HCPC. He has built some momentum, now needs to sustain. QB is critical, as is just about every position on defense.
This one is 6’8″ 235
5/5/2014 – 2015 PF Jarred Reuter (6-8, 235, 2.7 stars) | Position Rank: 30 has received an offer from Pittsburgh.
Espn & Scout rates him a 3.
Guess Kentucky would agree.
Absolutely CRITICAL for Jamie to find a Qualified Coach capable of filling Slice’s shoes both in Recruiting and In-Game Coaching.
Otherwise, another SLIDE year awaits… in my humble opinion.
However who knows, since all the top teams have lost most of their top players, to the NBA Draft.
Perhaps JD is waiting for an asst. who can bring some immediate help with him.
Thanks. I forgot that you are in NC. Was trying to figure out who HH would be in Pennsy.

Rohrrsen seemed to take a more active role than other Assistants during games.
Saw him regularly coming onto the Court immediately during timeouts along with Dixon.
Seemed to play a major complementary role to Dixon during the Court Side strategy sessions.
Can’t honestly remember is Rohrsen did that his first time around……
but definitely saw him all year being quite active for an assistant. Thought it was great, thought Jamie (any coach) could use some extra thoughts on things.
Pitt needs to start landing and getting something out of the top end guys they’ve been in on. Close, but no cigar so far.
From a recruiting standpoint in both FB and BB, it is not easy being a Pitt fan …. but on the other hand, history has shown us that in both sports, a team can do very well by coaching up 3 stars. We have 3 4-star guards committed the next couple of years (in fact, Heron is rated 5 star by some) … and IF they honor their current commitment, Pitt can succeed by sourrounding these guys with solid fundamental 3 stars who have been with program a few years.
Uconn the most corrupt BB program in the old BE belongs
in the BT not the ACC. BT will find out as Rutgers
gets pounded in FB that nobody really cares about college
sports in NJ.
Wonder if Jamie is waiting to see if Calipari goes to the NBA before replacing Slice …. maybe he won’t have to.
