Busy weekend on that front. First it was Aaron Smith on Saturday. Then reports came that Kevin Collier had pulled the trigger — though it seems he may be holding a press conference today to make it official. Then Ricky Gary, a bit undersized but speedy and athletic cornerback, from Florida committed.

Gary chose Pitt over schools like Iowa, Maryland, UNC, Ole Miss and Miss St. Here’s what Scouts, Inc./ESPN has to say (Insider Subs.)

Gary may lack ideal size for the position, but he doesn’t lack any of the physical tools. Dangerous return man and is threat to go the distance. This guy is a playmaker on the perimeter and what you really like is his aggressive, physical style of play in every area. Play much bigger than size indicates. All of his natural cover skills are solid including change of direction, the ability to turn and run, and explosiveness when breaking on the ball. He has good plant and drive qualities, and he has the speed to run with most receivers. Possesses excellent feet and closing burst. Is a reliable open-field tackler with surprising pop. He has a nose for the ball, likes to mix it up and is very willing in run support.

They rank him at 6.9 on their 9.0 scale and as the 17th best CB recruit (just behind Aaron Berry of Bishop McDevitt in Harrisburg). Both Scout.com and Rivals.com have him as a 3-star recruit.

As for Kevin Collier, he chose Pitt over Maryland, Syracuse, BC and Wisconsin. Scout.com has him as a 3-star, while Rivals.com is significantly higher on him. They have him as a 4-star and in their top 250 recruits. Not to mention the 17th best RB in the country and 3rd best recruit out of NY (preseason).

Aaron Smith is an athlete playing QB, and part of why he chose Pitt over Maryland was the chance to play WR. The Scouts, Inc./ESPN people don’t have an “athletes” category, so they put him in Cornerbacks at #32 with a 6.6 score. Both Scouts.com and Rivals.com have him as an athlete — though both indicate he would be better on defense. Scouts.com has him at 3-star, but indicate a rising stock from summer workouts. Rivals.com likes him more with a 4-star rank and in their top 250. They also have him as the 16th best athlete in the country, 15th best recruit in PA (preseason) and Pantherlair puts him at 14 in the state.

Rough weekend for Maryland. Three recruits they had on their list, all going to Pitt.
