pitt football is weak …yeah they have a history…but they haven’t done shit recently.

& what do you mean “national championship” footballs national championship system is FLAWED

best player to come out of Pitt Bball… Lane was OK, C. Smith had a decent NBA carrer & M. Blount is a decent starting center in the NBA now… averaging double digits & 6 or so rebounds per.

the thing with Pitt hoops is they never really have a superstar…just a bunch of good player…thats why they have been good…but never have that special talent to get them over the sweet16 hump…look @ the past few years we’ve gotten beat by teams with a QUALITY guy that went to the NBA, Devin harris, D. Wade & patrick O’bryant

we’ve had good guards in the past few years, cummings, knight, krauser, but you have to be a consistant shooter or have an extreme talent to make it today in the NBA when your under 6’5" guards are a dime a dozen…so you better bring something to the table. Cummings lasted a few years as a backup & broke into the starting rotation due to a teammate injury, but never developed a consistant jumper…Knight was good as a floor general but also had no shot…& we all know carls flaws…bad decision making & suspect shot selection.
