Pitt Notes

Mike Cook

Some Pitt fans are wondering if Mike Cook will return for another year, unfortunately he won't be. The coaches might have applied for it originally, but Mike has said he thinks it is best to just keep working hard on the rehab, and just let both sides move on. His rehab is going great, but his injury was so severe and rare, that there is no chance he comes back next year. Initially people thought he'd be done forever from playing basketball, but the rehab is going great and he can probably start getting back to working out in a couple months so he can try to play overseas.

Recruiting Areas

Basketball recruiting is not necessarily like football. The coaches just recruit whatever areas they have connections to. Coach Antigua basically goes to New York, New Jersey, Florida, and Ohio. And Coach Herrion goes everywhere else (Virginia, Maryland,> DC, Midwest, etc.).

A New 2011 Target

There is another Gibbs to drool over. His name is Sterling, and he's Ashton's brother. He's already his High School team's starting point guard as a freshman! He's believed to be a potential top 10 talent.

We'll have a more in-depth write up on Sterling Gibbs coming soon.
