**Here’s an update on Aliquippa’s Kwantel Raines. I contacted him last night and he told me that although he didn’t make it to Pitt on Saturday, he will make one final visit to Pitt during the week prior to his announcement on October 30. He didn’t give me a date for when this will happen but the Pitt coaches will get one more in person visit from their top target.
