Pitt came into the day with 22 verbal commits for the 2017 football recruiting class. All got in by 10:00 a.m. and in relatively short order. Unlike past years, there was no sweating it out for any of the known committed guys. In fact, the most angst was for two kids that Pitt was hoping to get - defensive tackle Jaylen Twyman and four-star running back A.J. Davis. Those both went the Panthers' way, too, as Twyman committed first and was followed by Davis earlier this afternoon.
Both of those kids were big gets.
