December 1, 2003

Just in case you didn’t watch ESPN’s College Gameday Saturday morning, they showed ESPN recruiting analyst Tom Lemming’s current top ten recruiting classes for 2004. Lemming’s top ten looked a lot like the current top ten in the polls: Oklahoma, USC, Texas, LSU, Michigan, and Ohio State were all there. However, Penn State was nowhere to be seen.

This surprised me greatly, in that all I’ve been hearing from the Central Pennsylvania media (especially Blue White Illustrated and Neil Rudel at the Altoona Mirror) is that Penn State currently has the number one recruiting class in the country. What gives?

Incidentally, Lemming also gave his top ten “surprise” classes. These consisted of five schools who are currently recruiting far below where the should be, and five schools who are currently recruiting far better than they typically have over the past few years. Notre Dame was in the former group (he mentioned that the Irish only have one real blue-chipper to date). And, of course, Pitt was in the latter group. Lemming mentioned that we have one heck of a class coming in — starring Morelli.

On the Men’s College Basketball front, we have the Pitt-Duquesne game at the Polumbo Center Wednesday night and Pitt-Penn State at the Bryce Jordan Center Saturday. I will likely attend the latter of these games, because tickets are just so gosh darn easy to get to Penn State hoops games these days!

Happy birthday to me, goddammit.
