Class of 2018 RB Mychale Salahuddin (DC) Transferring from Pitt

[Yegorange]

Abdul Salahuddin, assalamualaikum, Arabian Stallions!

Can't stand that there have been no posts/news/anything on Salahuddin since esterday at 6:04. And sorry readers, I wish I could offer something other than wishful thinking. We need this guy for his exceptional ability and the optics of landing a USC decommit. Tired of metropolitan Pitt getting higher rated recruits than us and for the Dontez Ford transfer (the guy killed us). They turnover coaches frequently, play in an off campus stadium and generally are just a lost in the sauce college football team in a mostly major league town. How is it they out perform us so regularly? This has to change and Dino & Co. are the catalysts for that transformation.
Let's get this guy!

I would think any kids we get now most likely won't be known until signing day or later. It's a week away. Seems like an eternity though. lol

 

[IDOC]

I for one respect the young man for keeping his mouth (twitter) quiet. Much more mature than 3 commits/de-commits in 8 days!
So we will see on signing day and may he enjoy his college years.

That was known when Howard committed.

Alas. Maybe Jordan will get his grades up by the end of the year?

Now what the hell does that mean??? You ruin everything, you know that!!!

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

Salahuddin has committed & we now have 1 less scholly to work with??

 

[cuse309]

Turn that frown upside down!!! Do It Now!!!!

OUT WITH IT MAN

If he chose Pitt, we should have a similar response to the one Troy Weaver had when Julius Hodge chose NC State. Have fun watching us put up a million points and a billion yards over the next few years.

Gonna be tough to get carries against us when Pitt is forced to chuck it down 21.

 

[SUforme]

Oh well. Would have loved to have him but his loss imo.

 

[Trueblue25]

Im still not even remotely scared of pitt.

Healthy Dungey and we’ll beat them to the tune of several td’s.

What about a sidelined Dungey and a healthy Devito?

Remains to be seen. But if Dungey’s sidelined because he can’t run the offense as well then Pitt better run for the hills.

We have beat pitt once in a quite a while. And by 3 at that. I wouldn't gloat just yet. They are finishing their recruiting year strong.

So are you saying if Howard didn't commit , that we would still be in on it?

I'm not sure why anyone will be surprised if he picks Pitt, I said it before, they usually win these battles for whatever reason. We usually don't win these battles in general, this might change in time with DB but as far these high profile recruits, we are pretty much in the same boat as with our previous 2 - 3 coaches. Get some visits and interest but typically lose the battle. As long as the overall quality of our commits continues to improve, I'm not worried about these type of players.

I think we are winning.
Edward Hendrix - 4* at ESPN
Qadir White - 4* at 2-4-7
Trill Willams - 4* at 2-4-7

Plus we have Adams which is All as good if not better than MS do to the fact he already has the next level experience and who knows this Howard kid could be all as good as MS. So yes it would have been nice to get him but wasn't a must.

Landing a back of Adams's caliber certainly takes the sting out of losing this prospect. Would have been nice to add Salahuddin to stock the pipeline for down the road, to improve the overall talent base, to send a message on the national recruiting trail, etc. but it isn't a "devastating" loss.

Would have liked to land him and Jordan, though, in terms of their home run ability.

RIVALS’ REACTION…

Salahuddin is keeping things pretty quiet heading into his decision but, after reading between the lines, it seems like Pitt is the leader and has a pretty good chance of landing his commitment on Signing Day. The Panthers have their in-home visit with Salahuddin today and that's the only one scheduled so Pitt fans have to feel really good if they get the last word.
