doepy comment alert: aston is listed as a RS junior on the pitt website. although lets face it, even the pitt website is unreliable
Could have sworn he was a redshirt senior. Looks like I'm the dope now. I made sure to spell out the linebacker positions in my dream depth chart post. You're welcome.

O'Neill will be back. Lots of folks thought Biz and Johnson would be 1st Round picks and they fell.

There are a ton of top level T's available in the '18 draft after being a dearth this year.

Neither of them even made a roster out of camp. Looks like Johnson is on the Texans practice squad now while Biz is still on the Giants.

Pantherlair's free board is at a very high level of neurotic, self loathing pitt fandom at the moment. There is a thread touting Charles reeves as the most talent TE in pitt football history; there is a thread arguing about TJ kids and if Danielson deserves a 4th star; a thread dodinting about Gallagher and waton; and a thread questioning why pitt didn't recruit zane dudek. its every sort of pitt grievance

@mods imo shad should be banned from Pitt thread if it is a one score game
The worst thing about it was that I didn't even intend to do it. I was genuinely thinking they had the game in the bag.

The basketball was all you guys really had on us for years. Not anymore. Your old AD literally ruined the program (I know, the ACC move and Dixon’s poor recruiting didn’t help either).

This is nobody level posting right here. Might as well go ahead and say 42-39.

Yes, the coach sucks, the team sucks, but one win does not erase all previous dominance. How many NCAA tourney games has UPS won? Let alone Big10 tourney games?

The ACC move and Dixon's recruiting aren't the problems. It was Dixon's departure and Stalling's hire.

I don't see how they keep Stalling's after this year, honestly. I thought they chose the ACC because they were more focused on the success of their basketball program. I'd love to see them shell out the cash for a big name, or an up and comer to come turn this program back aground.

This is the only part of your post that inaccurate imo. The steven adams early departure and the khem birch departure were the beginning of the end for Dixon. Dixon's recruiting was never able to recover from these two events...they had to rely on reaches, jucos, and grad transfers, and none of those guys worked out. Plus, I think he found some good "acc style" players like artis, young, and Durand Johnson, but it never fully worked out.

The real problem, of course, is that barnes let Dixon walk and then completely sht the bed during the hiring process.

This Pitt team is giving meaningful minutes to players who would have to redshirt at RMU. The conference schedule is going to be brutal.

Chukwuka is brutal. Parket Stewart was billed as Ronnie ramon but has been ice cold.

You joke about saying 42-39, the past, then bring up the past. Funny thing is, PSU actually leads the all-time series in hoops. Something like 76-71 now, I believe.

Anyway, PSU is on the rise and Pitt is on the fall, football and hoops. Franklin beating Narduzzi like a mule on the recruiting trail is to be expected, but how did Coach Chambers beat out Dixon for these elite Philly recruits :lol: must suck seeing players that should be on your team schooling a bunch of scrubs that ended up on your team instead because your flim-flam man AD ruined your program.

Chukwuka is brutal but he's still better than George and Peace. Terrell Brown is also desperately in need of a year to marinate. I know he's the tallest guy on the team but this dude ain't ready for prime time. I don't know what Parker Stewart's deal is, but the kid was a lights out shooter in high school. At this point his confidence is probably shot.

For one, Pitt doesn't support child molestation.

I'll give you that, but my point was more centered around Dixon leaving. He was due to have a couple bad classes. He also recruited to his style, so the guys he brought in weren't always 3-4 stars, but guys who fit his system, and he coached it well. Having a completely different coach handle 1-2 star players (0 star players?) that aren't a part of his system will cause you to lose to the lowlife UPS's of the world.
