Aside from 2 years defending our nation and 2 years working in WVa, Pittsburgh has always been home. Its the people and the traditions that keep people here and coming back. As far as the elite athletes, they know they will play early if good enough. They also know people in the seats doesn't matter as the NFL scouts even go to the schools with less fans than PITT. The final equation is the coach, why else would Ole Miss have a top 5 recruiting class.
Hamlin to Pitt

Never thought Hamlin would pick PSU and am impressed with how he handled the whole recruiting process. Better than Matthews anyway.

You know what else? He is probably right as often as people who do the same thing for a living.
Weathermen, Baseball players, and recruiting gurus
Have to acknowledge the pull of the 'burgh on the locals. I have plenty of family from the area and recognize the loyalty. So long as Pitt is even half-decent, they'll have a good shot at the best players in the WPIAL. With the decline in population of Western PA, that's not really enough to sustain a top program, but they are a factor in their own back yard.
With a coach like Franklin, PSU will have a head start with the best players from the rest of the state, and also do well in adjoining states like NJ, MD, and VA. That IS enough for the basis of a top program.

It would be terrible to end up like those busts Darrelle Revis, Aaron Donald, and Larry Fitzgerald. What a waste of talent.
See you 9.10.16.The KDKA/Pitt partnership made this seem like nothing more than a formality since it was announced. Would've loved to have him. He's a very very good talent. Pitt is riding the HCPN momentum.. good for them. Their gonna need it after we stomp their asses on the own turf in Sept.
I'd say last we saw Narduzzi, his D looked pathetic in the bowl game. 600 yards allowed isn't "stellar".
Look at it this way. As hard as it is, give Pitt there off-season wins. They should be getting ALL Pittsburgh kids if they were that good in both the recruiting and the on field product avenue. We know how that's going. It is laughable on there part to make a big deal out of a kid picking and/or flipping for Pitt over PSU. The sky is not falling and I give Franklin props for what he is doing considering the obvious circumstances.
The reason you go to college is to prepare yourself for a successful career. The list of kids from Pittsburgh that attended Pitt and went onto future success is endless. Whether it be on the football field or other endeavors. You may not want to admit it, but it is true.
Not if you're on the field all day trying to stop the opponent because your coach is an offensive idiot. Navy just scored again and Pitt fumbled again.
Dan Marino does seem to repeatedly gain and lose weight thanks to Nutrisystem. I guess one could call that "success"

Hamlin chooses pitt...dozens rejoice....another NC trophy hits the shelves in oak-town!!!
With Taylor a rs freshman, and McPhearson a freshman, both are excellent DB prospects, plus the plethora of safety prospects waiting in the wings, betting anther DB is the lease option we need "now." Sure, Hamlin is a special player, but so are Taylor and McPhearson. Just take a look at their offers lists.
We spent so much time recruiting Hamlin and both myself, and half of the board members had a feeling this was another Whitehead situation a year ago. I'm so glad the drama is over with. I would rather get a Jordan Hill or AJ now over 2 or 3 Hamlin's. I just don't see how Hamlin would make us any better with the DB talent we now have, but another DT certainly would or a LB!

Not sure if serious? ^^^
Honestly - one of the funniest things ever written on this board
Good gracious, I hope for his/her sake he/she was trying to be funny
Another 1 post wonder boy even Cincinnati can make the same claim.It would be terrible to end up like those busts Darrelle Revis, Aaron Donald, and Larry Fitzgerald. What a waste of talent.
Ole Miss under investigation for big time violations, so you're saying sPitt should do the same. Good Luck!!

Guys, PSU has bigger fish to fry than Pitt. Sure, it will be nice to beat them year in and year out, but let's face it, tOSU,MSU, and MU are really our big targets. Before long, the Pitt game will be just like playing Akron but with a little more drama. Seriously.......
Sad part is that my sister-in-law is having her wedding that day and I would be going through a very expensive divorce if I chose to skip it for the game. Needless to say, I'm still debating my options. LOL
