The 2015 class has two very good early commits in Damon Wilson and maybe Maverick Rowan (unless he stays in the 2016 classification).
Now Pitt has another commit for 2016. Mustapha Heron just gave a verbal. This is another big get. Heron is already considered one of the top recruits for 2016. He’s already a 4-5 star talent — depending on the site and position. Already 6-4 as a high school sophomore, Heron is listed as a small forward, a shooting guard and point guard.
Yes, we all know that Bill O’Brien has left Penn State after two years.
Yes, this was a devastating piece on some of the things behind his departure by David Jones. Penn State has a particularly virulent, nasty and visible group that has been able to gain extra influence. At the same time there is no major (and most minor ones) college program that doesn’t have a batshit crazy wing of fans/boosters. It’s really only a question of how much noise and influence they have.
Those are Penn State’s problems. How they deal or ignore their problems are something about which I don’t care to waste my time.
As a Pitt fan my concern is purely about self-interest.
