Knight torched us worse, many Pitt players torched us, but the fact stands, no Pitt guards did anything in the NBA. Knight didn't even score a point. Young was a 6-7 small forward who isn't even in the NBA anymore.

Remember Carl Krauser? Tough sob. Pain in the . Seemed like he played 10 years at Pitt.
 
Pitt had some great players. Krauser, Knight, Taft, Paige, Troutman, Blair, and Lane did their fair share of damage to uconn. Never really panned out professionally though.
 
He will reopen his commitment by late summer.

Man I hate every guy on that list. All were great college players but man Pitt has had some very hateable players. Except for maybe Julius page. He was ok. But Chevy troutman and Carl krouser were insufferable. Easiest to hate ever

Pitt fan here... Pitts assistant coach "Slice" has a relationship with his dad. They played together in Poland. You never know with kids who commit this early. They did answer that question in an article though. Heron said they watched film and Pitt live and that he feels he is a great fit in the offense. I believe Pitt sold him on him basically being a point forward like Patterson plays now for Pitt. They told him he could bring the ball up at times, play off the ball, and even post up. He said he committed early because he really liked the coaches, players, and how he fit in the offense. He also said he did not want to deal with the daily calls etc that go with his recruiting. His dad also said he wanted his son playing for someone he knew because then he knew he would be taken care of.

Assistant coach "slice"......... ..... Seems legit. Is he the study hall coordinator too?

Barry Rohrssen is Slice.

He was Pitt's pipeline to NYC for quite a few years, left to become HC at Manhattan ~ 7-8 years ago, didn't pan out there and evidently (did not know this until the Pitt fan's post) is back as a Pitt assistant.

Doesn't Barry have a swindling background from what I remember or am I thinking someone else?

Ma, you are likely thinking of Slice. He has a bit of a sketchy past and has been accused of a few things. To date he has been smart enough to avoid having anything stick to him.

So maybe he should be called "Teflon Slice" huh Ffld?
 


It's amazing to me that there has not been even the smallest amount of talk between Uconn and Mustapha. Originally committed to Pitt, but looking to decommit and go elsewhere. Ranked 25th overall by ESPN in the class of 2016. He's a big physical guard at 6'5 200lbs and has a college ready body at the age of 17. Uconn has missed instate guys before (Tim Abromaitis-ND, Ryan Gomes- Prov, Kris Dunn- Prov) just to name a few, all turned out to be pretty damn good players. It would surprise me if Uconn made no attempt to keep him at home.

Live in Waterbury. Betting he never enrolls at Pitt. HOWEVER article in Tuesday's paper said Pitt was his Dream school.
 
Sacred heart is playin naugy in a few weeks.. I will be there. I will try to give some kind of eye test for anyone who might cares
 
I was told that he was offered A TON of money by one of Pitt's sponsors to commit last year by a kid that played against/with him. Of course, I don't know if there is any truth to that, but I also don't know why a 16 year old kid would lie about that.. Think of it what you will

Not sure what you will learn from one game especially against Naugatuck. But, I have been to about 20 of SHHS games over the last 2 years. He has improved so much from last year. His jumper is much better as well as his handle. Physically he was always big but he growing into his body. A lot more explosive this year. Good match up vs Rawle Alkins on Saturday at Hoophall.

I was actually sitting next to one of his coaches at the UConn hockey game a couple weeks ago and was told that it's all about Dad. He didn't think the son was all in on Pitt but his dad was pushing it on him.

Can someone delete this? Not saying it's not in the realm of possibility but if the kid ends up committing to UConn down the road, we really don't need to be snitching on ourselves.

Imagine growing up in Waterbury, then going to college in Pittsburg? Maybe he'll be drafted by Detroit to make it a trifecta.

He grew up in Meriden. Dad never thought the coach there was good enough nor the players around him. Moved him where ever he felt. That's what's wrong with HS hoops now, pitiful quite honestly!

And for Crack and superj - 6'5 my a*s - no way no how! Please try to tell me I'm wrong here. Basically a tweener, great HS player - superior body and solid inside game at that level. Can he make shots and get to the basket at the next level? Unknown, probably but just how high of a level?

He's the exact opposite of what we need. We need a post offensive threat, ball handlers and shooters..
 
He definitely looks more bouncy this year from the clips I've seen, I think he will be a really good college player.

Supposedly thats exactly it. According to sources close to him, I guess coach Cal has been after him as of recent. Would not surprise me to see him end up there. Of the Pro-AM games I attended this summer, NBA players and Uconn alum would walk in the gym and there would be chatter. But when Mustapha walked in, there was a real buzz. The kid is going to do big things. I would hope we at least give it a shot to get him here.
