Already over 20 offers, including SEC. Not sure why this staff seems to be so late on some of these guys.

Well, in December, they were busy bowl-preppin.... wait,
Well, after all the bowls were over, we had so many coaches fired/poached that Morris had to re-hir.... wait,
Well, we really had to focus on re-loading 2024's roster immediately because all of our elite players bolted out the portal... yeah, that's it. 😢

I mean, I don’t expect them to be first on every player, but it seems like we could have beaten east and west coast teams to the punch. How is Pitt identifying a rising star in Texas before we are? It would be more inexcusable if it was a DFW player (which we have seen happen as well). With all his faults, I feel like Seth and his staff were pretty good at identifying talent early, although admittedly once the big guys offered we could rarely hold on.
