Saturday Recruiting Decision

Filed under: Basketball,Recruiting — Chas @ 10:48 am

Sorry football, this is another basketball post. It’s a significant recruiting item.

A bit surprising in that Mike Young had not indicated that he was going to be making a decision this soon. So, there is always reason to be nervous. Especially if Billy Donovan and Florida are the other finalist.

Young is a big target for Pitt. He’s a Pittsburgh native who started at Shadyside Aacademy before heading to New Jersey for better basketball competition.

Young is a consensus 4-star power forward. He’s 6-8 and somewhere between 210-225 pounds. He plays in the post. Even better, wants to play in the post. Rivals.com ranks him at #102 nationally. Scout.com says #92. ESPN.com says #67. All of these rankings are from before the summer tournament season, so the rankings are subject to some significant revisions in the coming weeks.

 





We need him let it be pitt.

he wont get the bal down low at florida. they took the most threes in the country last year. plus, this is a huge position of need for pitt

Well, then, let’s hope he chooses Pitt. If he doesn’t, let’s recognize in advance that there are a myriad of reasons, most unknown to us casual observers, why a particular young man may or may not choose a particular school. Besides “Dixon blew it!” or “Pitt is cursed!”

Saw a report that he is at W V U on Saturday and they have been after him as well. Let’s hope this does not happen. Would be sweet to commit to Pitt while at W V U.

Pitt needs a 4 star to commit to football first. Is Chryst on vacation?

Comment by TX Panther 08.03.12 @ 4:13 pm

He and Riley are off on their 14 hour(?) road-trip back to WI.

Mapquest: 9 hrs 54 mins / 606.59 miles

Is the dog riding inside the car or is he strapped to the top?

Comment by TX Panther 08.03.12 @ 5:12 pm

Clearly, the dog is riding inside. That is why the trip takes so much longer than Mapquest claims. They don’t account for canine potty breaks.

We are Pitt not Penn State, Tex.

Comment by steve1 08.03.12 @ 7:19 pm

major like ohio state or bama might want the rest

steve1 here we go run for cover.

Comment by FRANKCAN 08.03.12 @ 8:24 pm

Eh. It’s August. Still way too early to panic over Chryst’s recruiting (or lack thereof). Win and the recruits will come. Simple as that.
