Our offensive line is pretty talented and will be made up of Juniors and Seniors. You should be retooling your defensive line that year. Conner will be gone but Chris James and Darren Hall are both 4* backs. Boyd will be hard to replace. I'll bet on upperclassman.
Is Narduzzi battling you guys for a lot of recruits?

You have no idea how good Pitt's offensive line will be. They might have lost a lot in that area with T.J Clemmings, Rotherham, Paul Chryst, and his Oline coach leaving. There is a pretty decent chance Dorian Johnson will leave after this year, too, if Conner has any kind of success. You are setting yourself up for a major disappointment. Let's talk about how putrid Pitt's Defensive line will be in 2016.
Question for Pitt is #1, what exactly is Pitt #1 in to earn the nickname?
How did Boyd do against whoever Pitt played in a bowl game? He was wide open, had the ball hit him in the hands, and at best walks in to the end zone to win the game, at worst sets up a chip shot field goal. He dropped the pass.

You don't think PSU had 4 star recruits waiting in the wings to take over for the kids that will leave after the 2015 season? Looking over our roster, PSU should have 9 starters back on offense and 6-7 starters back on defense.
My wife is a life long Pitt employee. My kids get free tuition. That makes them #1 in my book.
I'm not the one who stated how much they like Pitt to win in 2016 and how good their Offensive line will be. Must have forgot those who left and those who could possibly be gone by 2016.....Dorian Johnson, Adam Bisnowaty....I'd say if Pitt has any success this year, they are gone. That leaves with Alex Bookser, fat/slow Mike Grimm, and a bunch of scrubs.
Yes, I do...but they will be first year starters vs 3yr. starters. Always put your money on experience. It wins most times.
Bisnowaty has not played well enough to leave early or does he have the pedigree to be anything more than a mid rounder. Johnson possibly if he has a great season...but not likely.
So this line you speak so highly of is made up of guys who have not played well enough to leave early.
Like an awful lot of O-line recruits, Johnson hasn't played up to expectations. Neither has Bisnoswaty (?sp). Grimm is beyond slow, and Bookser had a very mediocre senior year in HS, so who knows about him. Losing the O-line coach could turn out to be a pretty big deal, as well.
I agree that mediocre 5th year seniors may well be better than 4-5* sophomores, however, at that point in time.

Our starting RG, LG and RT will be in their 3rd year of starting in 2016. Our starting LT should be in his second year starting. The only new starter will be whomever replaces Mangiro at center.
That's a pretty good answer. From an outsider's view, there really wasn't anything I could think of that Pitt is #1 in.
