Looks like Pitt has a new recruit, Tommie Duhart. Duhart had offers from Florida, Rutgers and ND. His father college ball at Florida. Duhart, according to this report, played TE and DE but projects as an interior lineman in college. He’s 6’3″ and around 250 pounds.

UPDATE: This article in the P-G, says he’ll be playing as a defensive lineman. His size and agility are comparable to Warren Sapp — at least according to his high school coach.

CollegeFootball.com has been doing advanced projections on teams, and includes Pitt near the top of the list to crash the top-25.

28. Pittsburgh 2004 Record: 8-4 Big East
Dave Wannstedt inherits a beauty of a team ready to repeat as Big East champions. QB Tyler Palko is one of the nation’s fieriest competitors and Greg Lee will be in the hunt for the Biletnikoff. Nine starters return on offense that will hope to add top-talent WR Princell Brockenbrough to the mix after he sat out with a knee injury. The defense doesn’t lose enough to be all that worried.
Biggest offensive loss: OT Rob Petitti Biggest defensive loss: DT Vince Crochunis

Interesting about Brockenbrough. I hadn’t heard whether he had gotten a 6th year of eligibility. Not that I’m complaining, and if Jason White at Oklahoma could, why not Brockenbrough?
