Last week Jerry DiPaola of the Tribune Review had an article where Pat Narduzzi was quoted as saying this:
Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi said Friday he’s leading a different team than he did a year ago, and he’s not just talking about the departure of 10 seniors and at least 10 other players who have left the program since the end of last season.
“It looks like a different football team,” he said, referring to the physical growth of many players. “That doesn’t mean you will win more games, but they do look different … just physically.”
Aside from the fact that we hear that from every coaching staff in their initial time at Pitt what struck me was the fact that 10 players other than the 10 SR and rsSR players we had on the roster have also left the program.
By my unofficial count we have to get rid of seven scholarships at this point in time. That doesn’t include the five guys listed below who we know have already left the team and who were all scholarship players.
