RE: Rushel Shell
Just from what I have read on the other message boards, people seem fairly certain that he is going to commit to Pitt. I haven't gotten any details, of course, but it appears there is some reason why he feels the need to stay close to home.

Some of his statements in the press have also made me feel like he's probably a Pitt lean, such as mentioning that he's probably going to a 'school on the rise' as opposed to an elite program. It's pitiful that him saying that about our program would be a good thing because he's definitely a stud recruit.

We also have good luck with HB recruits as of late so I think we have that going for us.

Hopefully this move to the ACC helps in the recruiting area even more. Wanny did a decent job pulling in Top 25 Class's, but top 5's and 10's would be awesome.

Generally, I have 0 problem w/ his comments towards Pitt. We exactly hasn't been on the Elite Level, but have a chance to be.

No info but hopefully it's Pitt.

I don't see Graham ever pulling in Top-10 classes. I think the best we can hope for is a DW like class - Top 25. As long as Graham wins and wins big (9-3 on average), I could care less about the rankings.

It's not that I have a problem with what he said. It's just that I have a problem that we aren't on an elite level. That's what we as fans want, of course.

RE: Rushel Shell
When is he supposed to announce? If he does chose Pitt, how will that affect the rest of recruiting? Will Pitt see a 'bump'? It obviously will help but I think it's more important Pitt continues to play well.

I don't know a whole lot about recruiting high school kids but I think that if we were to land him it would be a huge statement for our program. We have seen a number of top recruits from Western PA choose to go elsewhere over the years and I think keeping one of these guys here could help others stay home too. My hope would be that they'll say that Shell thought the program was on the rise and they want to be a part of that too.

I wouldn't be surprised if Voytik helped Bisnowaty make his decision a little easier. There does seem to be some legitimacy to kids wanting to play with other recruits they meet and recruits talking amongst themselves in this way.
