I’m really happy for the young man from Peters Township. He is getting a chance to follow his dreams and receive a paid for college education to boot. However, you do realize that in large part the people who read this no longer care about that saga mainly because of the manner in which his Pitt recruitment went. Once the Pitt ship sailed and in less than graceful fashion we all pretty much mentally moved on.You are the professional and I won’t tell you how to do your job. Just some food for thought.
Nothing against McMillon but in all sincerity I prefer Javon McIntyre if given the choice between the two players. I’m happy that Pitt has a commitment from the player with the greater upside in my humble opinion. Nothing against McMillon but I’m not concerned with the fact that he won’t be at Pitt.
still waiting for that secret commit lol
