Other brief coaching credit that really should be given at this point. Wide Receivers Coach Aubrey Hill. The way the young receivers have played this year has been a revelation. Oderick Turner and Marcel Pestano have been solid and at times spectacular. Cedric McGee got his chance against Saturday and made the most of it. Really, since we (I) can be so quick to criticize certain coaches, you have to give credit with the development and job done by Hill.

And he has to this point not gotten much attention.

Wide Receiver Aundre Wright formerly from Perry Academy of the Pittsburgh City League, and this year at Milford Academy re-commits to Pitt.

Wright, 5’10” 183 pounds, played his high school ball at Perry Academy in the Pittsburgh City League and was offered a scholarship last year, but he was not qualified academically and is spending this season at Milford in New Berlin, NY.

Wright possesses blazing speed, running a sub 4.4 forty-yard dash, and should compete for playing time immediately at Pitt. He is Milford’s leading receiver this year and is coming off a big performance in the Falcons 28-14 win over the Dartmouth JV team last week. Wright caught four passes—two for touchdowns—and totaled 106 yards receiving.

Both Scout.com and Rivals.com have him as a 3-star recruit. Rivals.com lists him as #36 on their list of top prep school players.

Wright, very much wanted to play for Pitt, even last year but his grades were too low. He also had interest from WVU and Syracuse.

Well the blogpoll is compiled. I made a few minor changes from the draft to my final ballot. Switching GT and Missouri at 13 and 14; switching LSU and Arkansas at 15 and 16; and Nebraska and VT at 23 and 24.

I’m kind of surprised that OSU isn’t a unanimous #1, have to love open bias. Rutgers and VT both lost ground during the bye week.

I’ve said all I care to about the whole mouse trap thing that Coach Wannstedt handed out to starters. I don’t think I’d be bothered by it so much if it wasn’t for the fact that I’ll have to hear the lousy ESPN booth talk about it.

Now that the beat writers for Big East schools have done enough stories on WVU, Louisville and then Rutgers, Pitt is getting it’s turn.

This season has been a much different story as Pitt is off to a 5-1 start, 2-0 in the Big East. A win Friday night in Orlando against Central Florida makes the program bowl eligible. The future also looks bright as Pitt has the Big East’s highest-rated incoming recruiting class in 2007.

…

Pitt plays its last five games in the Big East after the trip to Central Florida. And while the jury may still be out, it’s starting to look like the verdict is that Pitt has a bright future under Wannstedt.

So, despite the BCS win WVU still can’t outrecruit Pitt?
