A couple potential additions to the 2016 class are announcing today.
Henry Miller will be announcing sometime around 7pm on Twitter his decision. Miller is a cornerback out of Florida. Measurables (being what they are worth) have him as a 6-3, 193 pound player. A 3-star recruit by all sites.
He’s reportedly down to Pitt and NC State (thankfully it is Dave Doeren recruiting him and not Mark Gottfried).
Both sides have been hard to close on him.
[Gateway (Fla.) High School coach Marlin] Roberts said Miller has been timed in 4.47 seconds in the 40-yard dash and is a sprinter on the track team. He played basketball, but gave it up this season to concentrate on his recruitment.
Roberts said N.C. State has been on Miller “pretty hard.” In fact, one of its coaches called Roberts immediately before I did Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, Pitt tight ends coach Tim Salem “comes down here all the time,” Roberts said.
Miller also has drawn offers from Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan State, Mississippi State, Oregon State, Rutgers, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Strangely, none of the Florida schools have offered. Florida had interest, “but they weren’t on him as much as Pitt,” Roberts said.
Tim Salem has been a workhorse on the recruiting trail for Pitt. He got scapegoated in his last job with regards to not being good enough at recruiting by now infamous ex-Illinois head coach Tim Beckman. But he’s been active and everywhere for Pitt.
But the big one is at 2pm. George Hill is a 4-star running back out of Ohio. He was once an Ohio State verbal but reversed field on that. Now the final three are Michigan State, Pitt and Wisconsin. Most have been seeing him pick MSU, in no small part because of his friendship with MSU freshman running back L.J. Scott. The two were high school teammates as well.
Still, this tweet yesterday from Coach Narduzzi…
Can't wait for two o'clock tomorrow. Hail to Pitt!

Having fun? Optimism? Knows something the rest of us don’t?

Tic Toc ?
Pitt has landed Ohio State de-commit George Hill, a 4-star athlete than can play RB, WR, and S. He chose Pitt over Michigan St & Wisconsin.
Where do you see that?

Today is a good day.
Now, if we can close Hudson and Hamlin.
6’3″ Florida CB Henry Miller also commits to Pitt. Both Miller and Hill are big time players and big time athletes.

Narduzzi closes!
If he is smart, he turns around and says we have our allotment of rb’s and we still have room for one more db and a wr. That takes all the pressure off of Sanders and makes him look better. WR comes down to two. Whoever picks Pitt first wins.Hopefully Clairton WR. Same with db’s. One spot left and two solid choices left on the board. I do like Miller as a LB in two years.
#412 recruits hop on the train very soon because it is about to leave the station.
