Now there is a shocker!
When will these kids realize the ACC will always recruit over them the next season. Ask Ish Smith about the PG Prosser is bringing in next year or ask Stitt who Clemson just signed how he feels about this kid being recruited before the ink dries on hid NLOI.
Man! My wife graduated from CCS. I canāt believe there is anyone of quality coming out of there. Wow! Cāmon Damier! You know you want to be a Niner!
we gotta get the chant goin at the gameā¦āwe want pittsā
Was he actually in the house? I coudlntā see him or Wilderness from my seat, I had hoped to get a āwe want Pittsā going during the warmups if he walked out with them, but I couldnāt see him.
Iām not sure if he was there.
Nice write-up on Pittās today in the Observer:

Chooses Marshall over offers from ECU, South Carolina, South Florida, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.

Wow. Does his dad coach at Marshall or something? Only way I could see him going there out of that group.

Im sure many people have said the same thing about our recruits. Maybe he just liked the coaches, campus, style of play, and opportunity for playing time. Plus, Marshall isnt exactly a little ol school no one has heard of.

:wow: They must have shown him the movie āWe are Marshallāā¦

They have some notoriety in football, but I canāt honestly ever think of their basketball team being worth anything. Plus, their fans donāt care about that sport. Worse than that, you have to live in WV. I think its quite a bit different than someone coming to Charlotte.
From Jeff Goodmanā¦
Marshall coach Donnie Jones may have found the next Taurean Green.Jones, the former Florida assistant who was crucial in Greenās development, received a commitment from 5-foot-10, 160-pound Damier Pitts out of Hargrave Military Academy (Va.).
Pitts is one of the most underrated floor leaders in the nation and also considered Oklahoma, South Florida and South Carolina.
āI like the environment and the coaches,ā Pitts said after making his decision. āItās a great fit for me and itās the perfect style of play.ā
āCoach Jones told me I can come right in and make an impact.ā

And this about Marshall from College Hoops Update:
There is some excitement stirring at Marshall with ex-Florida assistant Donnie Jones now at the helm. He has already recruited several talented players, but the big impact of the incoming talent won't be felt until 2008-09, when three transfers Brandon Powell (Florida), Chris Lutz (Purdue) and Tay Spann (Georgetown) - become eligible.Link: Collegehoopsupdate.com
BTW, 4,500 showed up for āThundering Herd Madnessā this past Friday, so someoneās interested in hoops in Huntington.
Probably not a fair comparison of starting PGs, but since Charlotte and Marshall have both played ODU this seasonā¦
DiJuan Harris vs. ODU: 12 points (3-6 FG / 1-1 3-PT / 5-6 FT), 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 TOs, 1 steal in 31 minutes
Damier Pitts vs. ODU: 7 points (3-5 FG / 1-3 3-PT / 0-1 FT), 3 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 TO, 3 steals in 36 minutes
BTW, not saying Iād want Pitts over Harris, though I would like to have Pitts in addition to Harris! Yes, that would be a good thing!!!
