Does Pitt become a football power now?

Reduced recruiting competition in their home state should improve the program.

Dear me, U of Pittsburgh, winner of NINI national championships in football and one of the top 20 all time winners in football. . .I think those are better qualms as a football power than some "other" programs

No, it will benefit other programs more than Pitt

I would disagree

A lot of PA kids like to stay closer to home and even though Penn St had a clear edge in recruiting, it seemed a lot of local boys had it down between Pitt and Penn St before choosing the Nittany Lions.
I wouldn't argue that Big 10 schools will also benefit, esp Ohio St, but I do think Pitt will end up being the biggest winner of them all.

Doubt it. I think if you look at their past 5 recruiting classes, it looks like UVA,Rutgers, Maryland, Ohio State and ND are some of the top competitors for talent.
