It seems that most of the big-time recruits on Pitt's radar are not in a rush to commit. This is fine because often early commits are not 100% on board and are much more likely to re-open the recruiting process and/or change their mind. The basic premise is if the Panthers play well and deliver, the recruiting success will follow. Guys like Dorian Bell have already indicated they are considering Pitt and there are a number of other top flight players who have Pitt on their lists.
Lastly, most of the early commits who verbal this early in the game are often committing to programs where recruiting is very competitive. What I mean is some of these kids realize there are only limited scholarship opportunities so if they get an offer from a elite school (USC, Texas, LSU, Florida, Alabama) they jump on it, knowing there are other kids vying for those offers or have been offered but have yet to commit.
Basically, no elite player that is on Pitt's radar is even close to committing so no worries. Win this year and Pitt will continue to have a ton of success getting elite players. Things continue to look up for the Panthers.
