**Big-time New Jersey quarterback Devin Leary tells me that he’ll be visiting Pitt next weekend. He’s one of the four quarterbacks that have received an offer from Pitt in the last month.

UPDATE (8:48 AM)-

**I want to correct something  that I said in our podcast last week. When talking about the quarterbacks, I said Washington DC quarterback Kevin Doyle’s timeline was July or August but that isn’t the case. I was informed over the weekend, Doyle plans on making a decision a lot sooner than that.

Im being told that he wants to attend and watch a Pitt Spring practice and spend some time with offensive coordinator Shawn Watson.
