Big Night Of Scholarship Offers By Pitt

This is the time of the year that college football teams offer juniors and sophomores and last night Pitt did that in a big way.

By our count, the Pitt coaching staff offered scholarships to at least five juniors or sophomores. For at least one of the players, it was their first scholarship offer.
