UPDATE (6:23 AM)-
**Biggest day of the high school football recruiting season as players officially sign with schools and the Class of 2017 is official. Stick with PSN all day for the best coverage of Pitt and WPIAL Signing Day.
Alan Saunders is live from the Pitt football facility and will run a live blog so make sure to follow his thread. Also, we’ll recording 2 podcasts today, one this morning with Alan and Dan Kingerski and then another one tonight live from Cupka’s with myself and Dan Kingerski. Alan will be attending Coach Narduzzi’s 3 PM Signing Day Press Conference at Heinz Field and will have a recap on PSN. Our Pitt Insider Harry Psaros will be on WTAE TV tonight at 6 and 11 with Andrew Stockey and Guy Junker giving his insight to Signing Day so you want to make sure you watch or record Harry. Big thanks to Andrew Stockey for making this happen. This is a big deal for PSN to get recognized by a major media outlet. Thank you WTAE TV. Finally, we’ll recap the whole evening with a Pitt/PSN Signing Day Gathering tonight at Cupka’s (South Side) starting at 7 PM. Hope to see as many readers of the site as possible so we can meet and talk Pitt football. First round is on PSN!!
