Now? You ask. Yes. Today the Big East schedule is supposed to be released. Once those dates are out — and the likely TV dates — it will be a matter of days maybe a week before Pitt’s full schedule will be released.

Though, the ACC released its schedule today as well, so we already know that the game at FSU will be December 21.

It’s especially worth noting, that Pitt just hired a new video coordinator, Rasheen Davis.

Davis arrives at Pitt with a diverse coaching background both at the collegiate and high school levels. He served the 2007-08 season as a program assistant for the men’s basketball team at the University of Louisville. Among his many duties under Head Coach Rick Pitino, Davis assisted in opponent scouting and film breakdown, monitored on-campus recruiting efforts and facilitated the program’s daily schedules.

Prior to his stint at Louisville, Davis served as the assistant boys varsity basketball coach at national power Rice High School in New York City for two seasons (2005-07) under coach Maurice Hicks. During his two seasons at Rice, the program captured back-to-back New York State Archdiocesan championships and one city title in 2005-06, totaled a combined 57-9 overall record and finished both seasons ranked among the nation’s top-25 teams. Additionally, he worked extensively with the New York Gauchos AAU Basketball program, assisting Coach Dwayne Mitchell with the Under-17 boy’s team for three years. His chief duties with the Gauchos included player development and game preparation. Combining his high school coaching tenure, Davis has coached one McDonald’s All-American, three Jordan Brand National All-Americans and six Jordan Brand Regional All-Americans.

Hmm. Has credentials so there is nothing shady about it. Of course one does wonder, who could be on the Gauchos present squad that also attends Rice? Oh, yes, Durand Scott.

Durand Scott has narrowed his list and is planning his visits.

Rice head coach Mo Hicks said Scott will visit Pitt, Miami, UCLA and Louisville officially and Seton Hall and St. John’s unofficially.

“We have to set his schedule of visits,” Hicks said.

“He’s going to visit Pitt, UCLA, Miami and Louisville and he’s going to do the unofficials to St. John’s and Seton Hall.”

UConn, Xavier and Memphis are also on the list for the 6-foot-4, 180-pound Scott, the No. 12 shooting guard in the Class of 2009 according to Rivals.

Actually, Scott is now the listed as #9 by Rivals.com and is ranked #41 overall. Scout.com and Rivals.com puts him as a 4-star recruit. ESPN.com/Scouts, Inc. puts him at #43 overall (Insider subs.).

And remember James Padgett will be visiting Pitt this weekend.
