UPDATE (1:44 PM)-
**The Pitt football program will be getting a highly rated prospect to visit next week. Source tells me that New Jersey 2018 4-star receiver Justin Shorter will visit the campus this Tuesday. Shorter (6-3, 195) is from Monmouth Junction, New Jersey and has a ton of offers. Currently he’s been offered a scholarship from Miami (FL), Michigan, Mississppi, North Carolina, Penn State, Rutgers, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Northwestern and Tennessee.
UPDATE (5:14 PM)-
**Kevin Stallings has offered another shooting guard this time from the state of South Carolina. 2017 SG Jordan Davis (6-4, 180) is a 3-star guard from Irmo, South Carolina and holds offers from Cincinnati, Virginia Tech and VCU.
**Congrats to Lincoln Park PG Nelly Cummings who picked up an offer today from Temple. Cummings is a big-time scorer and is one of the best players in Western Pennsylvania.
UPDATE (7:56 PM)-
**Kevin Stallings has made his second offer of the day, this one going to be highly ranked player. Tyler Polley (6’7″, 210) is a 4-star forward from Weston, Florida and is ranked as one of the Top 100 players in the Class of 2017.
Pitt now joins an offer list of Dayton, Georgia Tech, LSU, TCU, Tennessee, Texas A&M and USC.
UPDATE (9:49 PM)-
**I’m hearing that there’s a chance that a player Pitt is recruiting could make his decision on Monday and I believe he’ll pick Pitt. He told me that he’ll talk with his parents this weekend and decide if Monday is the day. Stay tuned.

**Philadelphia 3-star CB Kenny Bennett announced his Top 5 tonight and it included Pitt. Josh Conklin and Pitt were one of the first D-1 schools to offer Bennett, who named a Top 5 of Pitt, Virginia Tech, Temple, UMass and Maryland.
