I'm surprised Capel would that job. He's in for an uphill battle, Pitt basketball is in the dumpster right now and I'm not sure they can make it out

same, hes pretty much the best recruiter in the game. its no secret he lands most of Duke's high profile guys.

its a gig that gets support, i mean Pitt cares about athletics but man it really went down after Dixon left. not a hotbed in terms of location, this is a 10/10 difficulty rating

Pitt is within a 300 mile radius of Detroit, Cleveland, Philly, NYC, DC, Tidewater Area, BMore, Jersey

Recruiting won't be the issue IMO

might be right, Willard is keeping some Jersey guys home @ Seton Hall hope that continues. Jay Wright gets 1st dibs but theres only so many guys hes going to snag

UVA has to start getting some higher profile guys, right? or are these kids waiting to see Mr. Bennett make deeper runs

Pitt is a mess now, but it could be a decent gig. He's a higher profile coach than I expected them to end up with. They ran Dixon out of town for Stallings and Dixon kept them relevant for years. On top of that, they fired Stallings after his second year. Going winless in the conference doesn't give you any job security, but that paired with Dixon's treatment doesn't make the job very attractive.

Considering the success UVa has in the ACC, tehre is no reason for Pitt to not be a better program.
pitt basketball never really recruited outside of the tri state area and still never got adjusted to the acc and still hasn’t expanded their recruiting outside of that area, blame Dixon.

I think capel could get them going in the right direction but it’s gonna take some time.
