Durand Scott
Despite some recent rumors about Durand Scott, the 6'5" shooting guard out of New York City is not ready to commit yet, according to a source close to his AAU team, the New York Gauchos. Scott still has Pitt on his radar, but he lists other schools as well.
Scott, who attends Rice High School, is ranked as the #7 shooting guard and a 5-star player by scout.com
---OPINION--It is of our opinion at Crashing the Boards that it will come down to UConn and Pitt as his final two choices.
Thomas Robinson
The recent commit by power forward Dante Taylor has seemed to cool Thomas Robinson's interest in Pitt for the time being. Pitt is still listed as a possible destination for the 6'8" 210 pound Robinson, but he isn't sure where he will fit in with the Panthers.
Pitt believes Robinson is in a similar mold of a Jeff Adrien, the successful UConn stand out. Pitt's staff is very impressed with Robinson's ability to attack the boards.
Pitt is trying to persuade Robinson, who will head to New Hampshire for his high school ball, to come in and play the small forward position. However, with some of Pitt's players, and targets, showing they may have the ability to leave early, Robinson may end up back at the four in a couple of years.
The Squash All Beef AAU player has skyrocketed up the recruiting ranks. He is currently a 4-star player and the #27 ranked power forward on scout.com
Additional tidbit...
According to a source, Austin Wallace officially has been given his medical hardship. This frees up a scholarship, that could be taken by Mike Cook, if the NCAA grants him a sixth year.
