Frank: Do you think the Pitt football program will ever be good enough to get commitments from 5 star recruits?
John McGonigal: Maybe a one-off, 5-star kid from the area wants to stay home and go to Pitt. But only seven teams signed multiple 5-star prospects in the 2019 cycle: Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, LSU, Texas A&M and Michigan. Four of those teams have made the CFP in the last two years. Pitt has a long, long, long way to go before it’s signing 5-star prospects.

That was a good question and a good answer.
