Pitt Football Junior Day Reaction From Recruits

Published

on

Pitt football hosted their second Junior Day on Saturday. Recruits from the 2024 and 2025 classes came to visit the program, got a tour of facilities, met with coaches and joined the Oakland Zoo during Pitt basketball’s upset win over No. 20 Miami in dramatic fashion. Pitt had a successful Junior Day last weekend, as well. Class of 2024 running back Juelz Goff committed and so did twins in Class of 2023 offensive lineman Brady and Graysen Riffe as preferred walk ons. 

Here are the reactions from the recruits that attended and what they thought of Pitt during their visit.

One thing I was happy about over the last 5 years was most recruits had offers from big schools. With this group and the last there are hardly any offers from big schools Does that tell me NIL has killed Pitt football, do we have an elite scouting team, or something else?

I am sure Vuk can speak on this more but it looks like we are just jumping on guys early.

Don’t really need NIL money to offer kids, regardless of their other offers…actually signing them is another story.
Remember that it’s still early in this recruiting cycle and while it would be nice to see more “big” schools offering these recruits, there’s also something to be said for being the first power-five program to make an offer…that’s important to a lot of kids.
