I think the kids are just excited about Pitt football. Some remember back to when Pitt was great, and their parents certainly do. I think they feel we can go there again.

Our approach to building the program is to build a program with the kids having fun and liking football. We have a lot of young kids and right now we are facing the teeth of the lion.

We came pretty close. We're happy with this class. I don't think there are any position coaches here who don't have guys they're excited about.

They should do recruiting rankings three years from now. They don't because everybody wants to know things now. But rankings are important. We want to be in the top 10 in recruiting rankings. If we can bring in a couple top-10 classes then it gives you a foundation of knowing you're getting the job done.

I believe Robbie made the most progress of anyone from the first day of spring ball right up to its conclusion.

From what I saw in the spring, this year should be more of the same. We're going to count on him.
