Maybe we can get a gofundme set up for them.

the Brotherhood. With that being said, for the foreseeable future, I believe Brad has us poised to be consistently in the mid to upper standings of the ACC...with an occasional top 4 ranking. Instead of the 1-n-dones, BB will take transfers and combine them with solid recruiting classes, I can live with it.

It's taken a long time to get to this point. And while it's been a fun season to watch, I'll be cautiously optimistic about the potential of CBB replicating this success.

I think Brad can duplicate this season ...... Maybe not each and every year though! Our younger guys are darn good players that just are not getting much playing time because of close games and too many experienced players in front of them. There is no reason that players like Simms, Oliver, William, etc. can't become Granthams and DeVoes.

And they can take Cuse, BC and the halfarsed ND membership with them.

The ACC and Maryland reached a negotiated settlement on the amount of the exit fee. The fee ended-up being $31.4M rather than $52.2M.
However, Maryland never actually paid a dime. The ACC simply kept $31.4M of Maryland's revenue sharing money the league was already holding.

Send Boston College and Pitt to BiG X and give us Penn St. Then let them send Nebraska to the Big XII and give us WVU. We get way stronger in football and basketball.
I know, but it’s my pipe dream.

its 5th season of ACC basketball. They made the tournament in years 1 and 3 and the NIT in year 2. You're not going to win with 5 FR starting in the ACC, but you might want to see if they start turning the corner the next couple of years before you bail. Honestly if you are starting that many FR then you should have seen this year coming before now.

Re: Pitt beat writer: Only real fix is move out of ACC

I don’t know why the writer was complaining about not being able to recruit as well as Duke and UNC. They play in the new york type of area they have to recruit against teams like Villanova, Syracuse, and Penn State. Just because they can’t recruit as well as UNC and Duke doesn’t mean they can’t be successful in the ACC. If they have a good fan base and head coach there is no ceiling on the amount of success pitt can have

local hack?
Leave the ACC? After five or so years? Admitting defeat against the conference because of one terrible season? Admitting defeat against Duke’s incoming class of one-and-doners?
Terrible.
And particularly funny as a Clemson fan. We’re founding members and we’ve never won the tournament and won the regular season once. But we compete.
I’m going to say that writer does not reflect the general view at Pitt.

Duke and Carolina, blue bloods of basketball for generations

And now you complain after being in league a few years ?? ????. Get out of here with that crap, surely Pitt realized the reality of situation they were coming into with ACC basketball. No sympathy, Pitt made their own bed so lay in it and if you can’t beat those teams then keep trying. Lord knows our beloved Tigers have struggled mightily throughout history in ACC basketball so pull up your big boy pants and keep trying your best and shut it with this complaining crap. Duke and Carolina will ALWAYS be really good because they get the best players so why complain. Sure they may get benefits if the doubt too many times, we all know this. Maybe it’s because they are still fairly new to ACC, they are not as aware of it until now LOL ?????
Clemson is competing well this year and there is that chance we break through this year and make some noise in both tournamens. I’m not looking past Wake Forest at this time and I’m sure neither is this team.

Seriously, they won the Big East twice in 31 years
Feb 1, 2018, 12:53 PM

They made the Elite 8 once while in the Big East.
This guy lives on another planet. The ACC isn’t the reason Pitt is 0-10 in the conference. Pitt is the reason. For goodness sake, literally 7 of the 15 basketball members are former Big East teams.
What a ridiculous opinion piece. “We are 0-10 in the ACC because Duke is really good and the kids that committed to them, though still in high school, are too good.”
In the past six years, here are the teams who have won the ACC: Duke, once UNC, once Notre Dame, once UVA, once Miami, once FSU, once
Man, what a whiny article.

Why on earth would the folks at Pitt allow Johnson
Feb 1, 2018, 1:47 PM
|
|
to transfer to UNC? That is my question. UNC is already getting the players Pitt can't out of high school, so why let UNC have Johnson, too?
But yeah, I believe Pitt thought they would use the "play in the ACC" card with their Top 10 - 15 ranked streak that they came into the league with and that would equal instant recruiting success. Personally, I don't see how they were not able to do so.
