Pitt's wrestling program was dealt a blow with the news that Lehigh coach Pat Santoro won't be making a move to Pitt. Santoro affirmed his pledge to remain at Lehigh on Friday.
Santoro has been my first choice for the Panthers for a while. Other qualified candidates certainly exist but he is one of the few probably in the no-brainer category if he could be had.
I know the immediate rush will be to say that Pitt refused to put the necessary resources in place for him and that they tried to get him on the cheap.
