why isn't Pitt getting these guys!
Why Lehigh isn't getting them is a bigger question. Gaj lives less than 30 min away, and Seidel about an hour.

Pitt is 3.5 hrs from Seidel and nearly 5 hrs for Gaj. So to them it's just another school. Gavin is doing a good job, but has Pitt differentiated itself from VT?

Plus Pitt's recruiting strategy is very obviously (at least from their roster): focus heavily on western PA, supplement from elsewhere. It's not a bad strategy, but does make one wonder if they pursued Seidel and Gaj as hard as VT did.

Pitt has room for Seidel, but guessing Gaj wasn't a priority. They have Keslar, Evans, and MacKay all at his likely weights -- all with 4 yrs remaining (Evans and MacKay also being true FR).
 
Legend! He is definitely one of the best to ever coach in PA. He did himself a favor and had ❤️man on his side.

Does Parkins and Kinney live with him or an assistant.
