First, can you tell readers about your new //pittsburghsportsnow.com/ site and what your focus is?
The focus of @pghsportsnow is twofold. 1) to update all the passionate Pitt Panther fans around the country and especially here in Pennsylvania on how Pitt is doing in the recruiting trail. With the hiring of Pat Narduzzi, I knew Pitt’s level of recruiting especially with elite players would improve. I also knew that Narduzzi and his assistants would be able to recruit the elite talent in Western Pennsylvania, which is exactly what they’re doing. 2) Since HS football is so popular in Western Pennsylvania, I wanted to become an outlet for fans to read about and find where the players are going to after they’re done playing hs football. So our focus is on Pitt and WPIAL hs football and basketball recruiting.

Good to hear from you Mike. I always know extlcay what to write to get you to pipe up, right? Reasonable people can disagree on these rankings, but Syracuse did just lose AT HOME to Pitt by DOUBLE DIGITS. I understand the Kansas-Cornell analogy by we all know Kansas would beat Cornell 9 out of 10 times. That’s the definition of a fluke. Can we say that about Pitt-Cuse? I don’t think so. Let me see more and then I will adjust accordingly. As for West Virginia and Villanova, I’ve had them 1-2 in that order since October and I see no reason to change that right now. Nova losing to Temple in one of those crazy Big 5 games (where upsets are commonplace) doesn’t upset the apple cart in my mind. Again, it’ll all play out. I actually enjoyed Boeheim’s postgame after Seton Hall, even his potshot at the media about OOC schedule strength (at least the quotes were interesting and usable). Much better than the normal blah-blah-blah you get from a lot of the other guys. Bitter, the point about last year’s Big East is how it was the deepest league ever. Obviously no league was better at the top than those mid-80s Big Easts. If it makes you feel better the next time it comes up I will put an asterisk and a footnote making this distinction. Piratefocus,I’ve been beating the drums for Fero Hall as you know, but he is way too small to play center in the Big East. Have you seen the size of the postmen on the other teams? Big John is a space-eater and is useful in short spurts (alas, his knees have robbed him of the rest). Fero has to beef up big-time before he can hold his own at center for any reasonable lengths.
