A big recruit for Pitt’s 2005 class is in academic trouble. Mike Davis appears to be on the verge of getting kicked out of Xaverian High School in Brooklyn. Apparently he didn’t show up much or test well during summer school. Important to emphasize that he did not get in any other kind of trouble. It looks more like a case of laziness.
The questions are now: how quickly can he get into another school, and will it delay his graduation and qualifying academically (will he have to go to a prep school for a year); and what does Pitt do?
As to the latter question, Davis has given a verbal, but NLI day isn’t until November. Will Pitt revoke the offer? I would guess no, but he may not be wearing blue and gold until 2006.
