Just some little things. Derek Kinder continues strong steady play as the #1 receiver.
Conredge Collins joined those who are a bit banged up.
While the offense was bad yesterday, the defense seemed to have plenty of good showings. Freshmen Defensive Tackles Jason Pinkston and John Malecki and Defensive End McKenzie Mathews all got rotated up to play with the first team during the practices.
Also Defensive Ends Doug Fulmer and John Clermond were seeing plenty of 1st team action.
Not sure if it was mentioned here before or not but Ken Pomeroy did some off-season stats analysis on Aug 14 at link to kenpom.com about what will happen to Carl Krauser’s minutes/possessions.

Pitt played extremely well with Fields and Ramon on the floor offensively last year, especially towards the end of the season. Krauser’s graduation will impact us defensively, at least early. He got alot of steals. Krauser was also very effective at feeding the post, something that Ramon and Fields both struggled with last season. Hopefully both players worked on this over the summer. Fields and Ramon are both more skilled offensive players than Krauser. Ramon on the perimeter and Fields at getting to the rim.

Finally, speculation is that Mike Cook is one of the best players on the team. Chances are he will utilize a significant number of possesions this upcoming season. Ramon and Fields will most probably take a bigger role in the offense, but not significantly.
