Pitt Saturday Night Notebook

I’m

I’m working the phones and Twitter to try and get new material from Pitt’s first official visit weekend. Plus, working the Jim Chaney story and more recruiting news:

**Just heard from OT Zack Williams , who’s currently on his official visit to Pitt. He was kind enough to give me an update on how things are going.

“I’m in love with the city and campus. I feel at home, the players are cool, it’s a great coaching staff and the facilities are amazing”, said Williams.

Sounds promising for Pitt.

**Following Central Catholic’s semifinal PIAA win today, I was informed that 4-star CB Damar Hamlin will host the Pitt coaches tomorrow night for an in home visit. Starting Monday, a dead period begins in recruiting until January 12th.

**The departure of Jim Chaney could impact Pitt’s pursuit of Woodland Hills RB Miles Sanders. From what I understand, Sanders was a big fan of Chaney.

**McKeesport S/RB Khaleke Hudson is on his official visit to UCLA.
