For the second time in the last week, a member of Pitt football’s Class of 2022 has announced that he is de-committing from the Panthers.
3-star running back Jordaan Bailey (6-foot-1, 185 pounds) from Hillsborough High School in Tampa, Florida, announced on Twitter that he’s opened up his recruitment.
“First and foremost I would like to thank the head man Coach Narduzzi and Coach Sanders and Coach Powell also Coach Graham for taking their time recruiting me and believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself and building such an amazing bond with me. After a long talk with my family, I decided to de-commit from Pittsburgh University.”
Bailey originally committed to Pitt back on June 12 after making an official visit. At that time, Bailey also held offers from Cincinnati, Mississippi State, Syracuse, West Virginia, South Florida, Toledo, Western Kentucky, Liberty, Georgia Southern, East Carolina, Colorado State, Buffalo, Bowling Green, Austin Peay and Arkansas State.
With this news, Pitt’s Class of 2022 is down to just 10 players. Bailey was the only running back in the class.
Bailey joins 3-star wide receiver Camden Brown (Fort Lauderdale, Florida), 3-star defensive end Bradley Mann (Jacksonville, Florida), 3-star defensive tackle Elijah Statham (Smyrna, Delaware), 3-star cornerback Aveon Grose (Mansfield, Ohio) and 3-star offensive tackle Ja’Kavion Nonar (Belle Glade, Florida) as players that have decommited from Pitt this year. It’s interesting that four of these decommitments have come from players in Florida.
I Just hope we are getting better players than these 3 stars who are de-committing!
H2P!!!
Isn’t winning a championship supposed to have the opposite effect on recruiting?
Absolutely! Who wouldn’t want to play for a championship team?
Depends on who that team is..
something that others are offering a family member . Who don`t want to play on a championship team an help finish building that foundation ?
You would think
Also depends on the character of said player. Want volunteers not hostages. Not 100% go somewhere else please.
I agree 100% with that anwser
Pittsburgh University????? Where’s that? Pass on someone who doesn’t even know what university he committed too.
Seems to be a lot in one year,maybe coaching changes have something to do with their decision, or possibly with Pittsburgh University comments the IQ and college acceptance test are not up to Pitt standards!. Best go to school that you know the name correctly or you have not done your studies! Academics are little stronger than some,might not be a good fit for these athletes.
very true
For whatever reason, I wasn’t able to see the entire article. Any idea where this three-star running back is planning on going?
I find it interesting Pitt loses a Florida commit after Manny Diaz is fired and Mario Cristobal is in. Maybe he thinks will have the opportunity to get recruited by Miami or even Florida with Mullen out and Billy Napier in. I wonder if the Florida firing influenced the other Florida players as well.
No doubt many of these young men buy the hype over Cristobal. Most of them will regret their decision when they discover that Cristobal gives offers to all highly recruited players. Then, later, his staff begins to withdraw offers as he weeds out the lowest ranked offers.
