Sorry for the delays. Some outside activities today and I just received the Red Dwarf VII DVD as further distraction.

Anyhow, Pitt got some commits today. One we were waiting on and one everyone is still trying to get figured out.

Aaron Berry committed to Pitt. This was very good news, and definitely blunts some of the bounce in WVU’s step.

With the verbasl of Porter, Gary, and Chappel already taking classes, Pitt’s secondary looks to have a lot of speed and potential. Should be a dogfight to see who can go on the other side of Revis. I would also expect a couple of them to take a crack at returning punts and kicks.

There was also the commitment from Greg Romeus out of Florida. A defensive end, who to be honest, most of us never heard of (hat tip to Neil). He apparently had offers from UCF, Rutgers and UConn. Definitely seems like a development project.

According to the e-mail update from Pittsburgh Sports Report (and really, what self-respecting Pitt fan doesn’t have the free subscription e-mail?):

GREG ROMEUS, a defensive end from Coral Glades High School in Coral Springs, FL, will give a verbal commitment to the University of Pittsburgh later today, according to his head coach. Romeus, 6’5″ 228-pounds, has received a lot of attention late in the recruiting process. He only began playing football this fall, but he runs a 4.6 forty and is considered a raw talent with a very high ceiling.

“Greg and his parents met with coach Partridge today, and I haven’t talked to Greg yet, but it looks like everything will be wrapped up tonight,” said Coral Glades head coach Rex Nottage.

“He moves quick on his feet and turns his hips better than most defensive ends who have been playing the position for awhile,” says Nottage. “He has tremendous reach. He has a wing span of almost seven feet…the sky’s the limit for Greg.”

Well, you don’t expect his high school coach to say the kid sucks, do you?
