Tonight, on KDKA, Damar Hamlin announced he would be staying home to play for his hometown University of Pittsburgh Panthers over his other finalists of Ohio State University and Penn State University.
Damar is a consensus 4* and top 250 recruit by all the major recruiting services.
Damar Hamlin has been Pitt's pretty much #1 target since Pat Narduzzi got to Pitt last December. Despite Hamlin's own admitted lack of interest in Pitt when Paul Chryst was in charge that narrative changed almost immediately after Narduzzi was hired. He had offers from virtually everyone, including Notre Dame, Clemson, Virginia Tech, UCLA, Miami, Michigan State, Auburn, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Stanford, Syracuse, Arizona State, Tennessee, Wisconsin, West Virginia and others.
