“We are a program, where I think the identity of our program is that we all have a chip on our shoulders,” Pitt head coach Jeff Capel told reporters at ACC media day. “We all feel like we have something to prove. None of the guys on my team were recruited by other ACC teams. None of them. They all have felt like they can play at this level, I think they all realized this is the best conference, and so we recruited them, we believed in them. So they all feel like they have something to prove. Because of that, because of our belief in them, our staff, and how the city has embraced them, there is a level of gratefulness and appreciation that they have, and a love that they have. I think it’s one of the factors that we were able to retain the guys that we kept. They all could have gone to different places, they could’ve chose to do something different. But they wanted to be back here, I think, because of those things and their belief in what we’re doing and how we’re helping them become better.”
