Everybody is signed, the staff can now rest

As expected the DeMatha kids and T.J. Peeler have sent their letters of intent in so the class is now complete.

I'll have some thoughts on the class in a little bit but I have a few things I need to do and I'll need to transfer from here to Heinz Field for the press conference.

DeMatha kids due in at noon

 Just an update:

Pitt is waiting on three letters -- the two kids from DeMatha (Shane Johnson and Jeff Knox) and T.J. Peeler from Virginia.

All three are the victims of snow storms cancelling school but the two DeMatha kids (along with a bunch of their teammates who are signing letters elsewhere) are due to arrive at the school at noon and will shortly thereafter send their faxes to Pitt.

Peeler is still apparently making arrangements but his is due shortly as well.

Another big name in the fold -- Anthony Gonzalez

 Anthony Gonzalez's paperwork is coming out of the fax machine as we speak.

Also, Andre Givens is in the mix as he sent his paperwork in and just got off the phone with Dave Wannstedt

 

The big one is reeled in -- Clemmings a Panther

Obviously T.J. Clemmings was the one player in this class who had a lot of people, including many coaches, nervous for a lot of reasons.

But his fax has just come out of the machine and that has clearly really gone a long way towards settling some nerves down around here.

Oh brother....

Derrick Burns from Wilmington, whose older brother Chris is a tailback already at Pitt, has sent in his letter of intent. This was one that some people were a little nervous about since there was actually some talk that the older Burns was looking to transfer given the way the depth chart at tailback has shaken out.

One other note -- Todd Thomas from Beaver Falls is in officially as well.

Woody High, Woody High.....

 Defensive tackle Khaynin Mosley-Smith from Woodland HIlls has signed his letter of intent --- 15 and counting.

Clairton in the house

 Kevin Weatherspoon has now sent his signed letter of intent in -- Pitt is now at 14

Another one rolls in.....

 K'waun Williams is in, that makes 13 by my count.

The tide has begun to slow and the coaches have retreated to their offices.

 

 

Another one coming into the fold

 The fax from Andrew Carswell from Sto-Rox should arrive here shortly, that would make him the third local kid to sign on the dotted line.

Another one

Matt Rotheram, the big lineman from Ohio, is in the fold.

I'm told that we won't hear anything from at least one of the biggest names until after 9 a.m. so hold on tight...
