Pitt Coaches Out Recruiting This Week
No game this week means that the Pitt coaches are out all over recruiting potential recruits.
PSN spent the day yesterday reaching out to various sources to try and find out where and who the Panther coaches are visiting.
Like we do with our Daily Notebook, we’ll update this post as soon as we get information on visits and any other information like new offers.
UPDATE (8:49 PM)-
**Another offer goes out to a junior prospect. 2019 defensive tackle DeWayne Carter (6-3, 270) from Pickerington, Ohio gets the offer. Carter is a 247 Sports 3-Star recruit with offers from Duke, Kentucky, Indiana, Notre Dame, Purdue, Rutgers and Tennessee.
UPDATE (7:50 PM)-
**I’m told that Coach Harley was recruiting in the area today and went to see 2019 Imani Christian wide receiver Rahmon Hart. I would imagine it’s only a matter of time before Pitt offers.
UPDATE (7:00 PM)-
**A new offer tonight by Pitt to a sophomore in a Florida. Saint Thomas Aquinas tight end/linebacker Derek Wingo got the offer tonight from the Panthers. This is Wingo’s first Power 5 offer. It’s obvious Pitt is trying to get in early and make an impression with Wingo.

**Not surprisingly, Pitt coaches were in Florida and stopped in to see one of the top juniors in the state. Pitt was in to see 2019 247 Sport 4-star defensive end Khris Bogle from Cardinal Gibbons High School in Fort Lauderdale. Bogle already holds over 30 offers including ones from Clemson, Florida State, Miami, Florida, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Penn State. PSN believes that Coach Partridge made the visit to see Bogle.
**PSN spoke to current Pitt 2018 quarterback commitment Nick Patti who told us that both Shawn Watson and Tim Salem are scheduled to come watch his game this coming Saturday.
**Late last night, Pitt offered a big-time junior from Maryland. 247 Sport 4-Star wide receiver/safety DeMarcco Hellams picked up the offer. Hellams (6-foot-2, 215 pounds) is from Dematha Catholic in Hyattsville, Maryland and has already been offered by schools like Clemson, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Penn State, Virginia Tech, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
