Another day, another chance for hearing from some more possible commits.

The remaining pool of Florida players Pitt was still pursuing just got a little smaller.

Geno Atkins, a highly regarded defensive end from Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas, became Georgia’s 26th commitment Wednesday.

Atkins, who played host to Bulldogs coach Mark Richt on Tuesday, picked Georgia over Auburn and Michigan State. He was also recruited by Pitt and N.C. State.

Figure Coach Wannstedt and the coaching staff will be sending plenty of text messages this weekend, as reminders.

After the official visit to Pittsburgh this last weekend, three-star defensive end Audie Augustine definitely had an increased level of interest for the Big East school.

The 6-foot-2, 234-pound prospect called the visit “amazing.”

“I was totally shocked,” Augustine said. “I never expected to see that. All of their football facilities are simply beautiful.”

One visit is remaining for the No. 21 defensive end in the country to North Carolina State, but it looks like Pitt has improved their position with a solid time on campus. The final trip will be the big step towards a decision for Augustine as things are winding down in his recruiting process.

Today might be the day Aaron Berry announces. Elijah Fields might do it over the weekend.

In the flexibility of how some players are ranked, right now Pitt’s present recruiting class is ranked 9th by Scouts, Inc./ESPN.com (Insider Subs.); 12th by Scout.com; and 22nd by Rivals.com.
