Pitt will go through another double practice day today as we get closer to the season opener.

** More reaction to the Pitt Throwback uniforms, this time from people outside the program.

@Pitt_FB should wear these jerseys for EVERY home game. Love those colors! https://t.co/4KEKvuClxj

** Pitt will host a big visitor today. New Jerey OT Carter Warren will be in town visiting Pittsburgh. Over the weekend, Warren made a stop in Maryland

** As expected, the son of former Steeler great Carnell Lake is staying close to home. Last night, CB Quentin Lake made a verbal commitment to UCLA.

UPDATE (10:06 AM)-

** 4-star forward Aamir Simms announced his Top 6 today and Pitt is in it. Simms listed Pitt, VCU, Iowa State, Notre Dame, Clemson and Miami (FL) as his finalists. Simms was one of the first players offered by this new Pitt coaching staff.

UPDATE (11:00 AM)-

** The Duquesne basketball program will be hosting two 4-star prospects today and one of them is local. I’ve confirmed that both Mars 2018 SG Robby Carmody and Cleveland 2018 SG Dwayne Cohill will be on campus today. Both Carmody and Cohill, who are AAU teammates, are ranked as Top 100 players in the country. I also learned that Carmody will be visiting Pitt and Kevin Stallings next week.

UPDATE (3:52 PM)-

** One of my trusted ” Little Panthers ” passed along this piece of information from Pitt camp:

Sounding like Bricen Garner won’t be redshirting this season. Coach Hill wants him and Damar Hamlin on the field at the same time and he says they’re the two smartest freshman he’s coached. Rashad Wheeler has a little way to go and will probably be redshirting. Also sounds like DiNucci is working down the depth chart. Don’t be surprised to see him #4 this year

UPDATE (5:48 PM)-

Pat Narduzzi speaks to the media before today’s practice.

UPDATE (6:10 PM)-

** Pitt hoops continues their run of offering scholarships to players from the South. Today per @GTuckerHoops, Kevin Stallings offered a scholarship to power forward Alex Reese from Pelham, Alabama. Reese (6-9, 225) is a 3 or 4 star prospect with offers from Alabama, Arizona State, Cincinnati, Georgia, Auburn, Mississippi State, Tennessee and Vanderbilt.
