***SPRING FOOTBALL NUGGET***

I was told again that they anticipate the line to be a lot better, Mateos has been very deadest on attention to detail, and is extremely well liked. I know it’s very early but this is a sub 15 sack line at this moment. We need 1-2 more additions at this point, i they they’ll add one of each.

Taylen Green is a complete leader, and fits with the mold of what BP is wanting to do. I have been told that we will be going vertical a lot this year and that the WRs finally mold what we are wanting to do with the passing game.

Regarding WRs, Sategna has looked phenomenal and is a write in to start (if he stays). I am now confident in saying that he is staying another year.

Spence is the real deal and will probably start at LB regardless of them most likely bringing another one in soon. Come April, we should hear more on the transfer front.

Here is the big ***rumor*** that I have heard from multiple people. They seem to think that Petrino is in the process of a coup and that Pitt will be the head guy for this last season, regardless of over performing. He seems dead set on “program revival” and wants to get to retirement soon. Another source close to the situation has told me that “they didn’t bring BP in for no reason”.

One word that I have been hearing non stop is “culture”. That seems to be the motto for this year.

More later this week/early next. @everyone
