March 21, 201610 yr Author Wait. What? :lol2: Same reaction I had. Jamie Dixon leaving Pittsburgh Panthers to take TCU Horned Frogs job
March 22, 201610 yr Listened to Bolas today. Said Pitt is having a tough time recruiting in the ACC. While in the Big East he hit NY with the dreams of playing in the Garden. Let's face it , he isn't going to have a shot recruiting south. He also said they're spending on upgrades with Dallas as a recruiting hub.
March 22, 201610 yr I think the move to the ACC will be the downfall of Pitt. They were much better off in the Big East

Let's face it , he isn't going to have a shot recruiting south. He also said they're spending on upgrades with Dallas as a recruiting hub. I don't know how he expects to have an easier time recruiting at TCU with so many good programs to compete with. Texas A&M is rising to new heights. Brown has SMU established even though they had their hand slapped recently. Shaka Smart will get Texas back to where they were during the Barnes golden years. I'm sure I'm leaving out another tough school or coach to recruit against.
March 22, 201610 yr I'm pretty sure TCU can, at worst, match Pitt on money if not outspend them. Cost of living is lower in Ft. Worth, I believe. Recruiting Texas is easier than recruiting the ACC at Pitt. Throw in that this was his alma mater and it is no wonder the purples were so sure they would get him. Good move for Dixon. I'm not sure Pitt can do much better- is Ben Howland available to come back to Pitt? Maybe this is the opening for Brad Underwood.

The big deal is keeping Cal and others from pilfering 5 star guys like the Harrisons and Fox.
