'08 PA LB Shayne Hale (Pitt Verbal) - Page 7 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

**Irish93** · 05-28-2007, 08:07 AM

I've lived in PA my entire life. The eastern half of the state tends to gravitate toward PSU and the western half towards Pitt. I think that the recent decline of Pitt football has a lot to do with the Sweat/Pryor recruiting. It is a shame, because Pitt has done a lot with their facilities, and tried to hire a coach with an NFL history. I'm just not sure that Wanny is the guy.

I've been a ND guy my entire life as well, so my feelings toward Pitt are more sentimental than anything. But, I agree I don't see where the OSU connections come from.

Passing on this little tidbit on Hale that was posted last night on something called the Pittsburgh Sports Insider. I have never heard of them, and do not know how accurate their info is, but thought I would pass it on as a point of interest since everyone else seems to think that Hale is a OSU or Michigan lock. Remember though that the comment is from Pittsburgh.

Pitt head coach Dave Wannstedt believes that the Panthers have a legit chance to land Gateway linebacker Shayne Hale. Most people in this area are writing Pitt off as having no chance but don’t tell that to Wannstedt. Hale just announced his final 10 teams and the Panthers were one of them.

Latest from Hale is the same eleven schools as was posted earlier, but get this, this should be good for some yuks. Four teams stand out, OSU, scUm, Florida, are on top with Notre Dame in there as well. Nothing like throwing a bone to ND fans. Hey, I guess it's better than saying that an ND coach visited his High School, but he couldn't recall his name.

Oh, and BTW, Dave Wannstedt, are you listening, Pitt is not in Hale's Top 4. So much for the Pittsburgh Sport Insider.

Word over at DD is that Hale will be visiting ND on the 26th. To mean it means nothing because I think there is no chance of him coming here. Who knows maybe he'll love CB and SB, but I doubt it.

A lot of guys are taking the cautious approach over at DD, and maybe that's smart, but screw it.

I say we get him. CB and CW have done pretty great things so far on the recruiting aspect, and him coming to campus is HUGE. What a get he'd be.

Love the "Never say Die" approach Katz.

I still think it's going to come down to a O$U, UM battle.
