It's been a very good weekend for Pat Narduzzi and his staff. On Saturday, New York linebacker Elias Reynolds chose the Panthers. The previous Rutgers commit is solidly built at 6'3" and 230 pounds. Known as a tough, strong run blocker, I expect that Reynolds will eventually end up in the mix at middle linebacker. He is the third Rutgers commit to flip to Pitt, joining giant offensive lineman Justin Morgan and hard-hitting safety Phil Campbell.
On Sunday night things got dramatically better when former Western Michigan commit Amir Watts committed. The 6'3" 260 pound Chicago native exploded in the past six months and was courted by the likes of Penn State, Nebraska, Rutgers, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Iowa State, and Kentucky.
