In a fast and furious nine day blitz Pat Narduzzi and Pitt have landed five of our more highly targeted recruits giving us a successful stretch of commitments that we haven’t seen since the DW years. Four are HS seniors who could fill immediate needs and the fifth is a JUCO transfer who had some troubles at his first school. They are as follows (rankings by Rivals.com).
4* WR Juwann Winfree a speed demon late of the university of Maryland and Coffeyville, KS Junior College. Winfree had his share of problems at the University of Maryland and was twice suspended by who may be one of the most incompetent D1 coaches in Randy Edsall. Reading between the lines it seems that Winfree’s suspensions were due to poor behavior (not criminal or drug related) and poor academics. He’ll have two years of eligibility left starting next season and we’ll need him to contend for the open WR1 vacancy due to Boyd’s departure.
4* ATH George Hill who had some very nice offers including Nebraska, MSU, OSU and Michigan;
3* CB Henry Miller with offers from a lot of D1 Power 5 schools;
3* OL Zack Williams who had to choose between WVU, UL, Miami and NC State
3* ATH Patrick Campbell with offers from six old-BE schools and Temple.
We also landed 2* OL Harry Morgan.
