Pitt Recruiting Notes

The Pitt football staff has been busy offering new prospects and also letting recruits with offers that they want them as part of their Class of 2017.

A couple big prospects tweeted out images of themselves in the Pitt uniform.

4-star safety Jaylen Kelly-Powell from Detroit, Michigan.

Kenny Robinson from University Prep.  Big-time local talent.

**Speaking of a big-time talent, I heard from 4-star OT Aaron Banks from El Cerrito, California.   He received an offer from Tom Sims a couple months ago.  Today, Banks told me that he plans to make a visit to Pitt soon.  When I asked him his thoughts on Pitt, Banks said, “Pitt is a great school with a great team and great resources.”

With a prospect like Banks, it would be a big deal for Pitt to get him to travel across country for a visit.   It looks like that’s going to happen.

UPDATE (8:20 PM)-
**4-star TE Charles Reeves from Steubenville, Ohio tells me that he plans on visiting Pitt for the Blue/Gold game next Saturday.  Reeves (6-5, 240) is a recruit that Pitt really could use.  His biggest offers come from Michigan and Nebraska.

**Will update with more info later**
