Does anyone have any information about the Pitt program. I know the struggled in their first year as a member of the ACC, but that is all I know. Any info or feedback would be appreciated.

Very nice, new facility (with an amazing view of Downtown Pittburgh...FWIW). Urban campus for sure. Coach Jordano is very impressive, and they are doing a very good job with the program and attracting talent should only be easier now that they are in the ACC. Pitching coach (came from Coastal) spoke to son's travel team and was impressive, VERY candid and straight shooter. Coach Jordano has a lot of charisma and likewise tells it like it is. I've seen him speak to players/parents a couple of times. I walked away both times saying to myself that he would be the type of guy I'd love for my son to play for. Pittsburgh is a great town (but I'm a native so it is easy for me to say that). That said, the campus at Pitt may not be for everyone. I watched them hang with UVA this Spring. UVA's pitching dominated them all weekend, but Pitt manufactured a late run and won the middle game of the series and showed well but lost on Sunday in rubber match. Bottom line: I expect that Pitt will have much more success in recruiting local PA talent than they have in the past and "the arrow is pointing up" for the program.
