In case you didn’t see Gateway HS’s Shayne Hale choose the Pitt hat during the Army All-American Game.
It should also be noted that WR Jonathan Baldwin impressed scouts.
Baldwin was right with DeVier Posey all week when it came to being the best receiver on the East and his touchdown in the game was a thing of beauty. He’s too big to handle for cornerbacks.
He is generally ranked as a 4-star recruit but after his showing over the last week, he could get bumped up to a 5-star prospect. As if stars even mattered…
Hale looks damn good in that PITT hat- only 8 months till football season…

And he wasn’t arrogant or trying to put on a show while he did it either, very nice to see that.

Notice how Steve Pedersen made Hale say “the University of Pittsburgh” instead of PITT.
What I thought was nice was that as soon as he put the hat on he leaned over and kissed his Mom. Being a parent myself – that’s speaks volumes about a kid’s ego.

That’s a good point
I don’t know that anyone made him say the University of anything. I heard more than one recruit stutter through “the University of…” on their announcements. (Like the kid who picked Minnesota…) I’d like to think maybe there’s a little pride involved in Hale announcing that he’ll be heading to one of the nation’s finest public universities…
