2011 Pitt Panthers

[celticdb15]

Pittsburgh looks to start 11 eleven whites this year. Excited to see what the combination of Sunseri and Shanahan can do this year. No matter what kind of numbers Shanahan puts up, I am positive he won't get the same opportunities as Jonathan Baldwin..

QB 12 Tino Sunseri SO 6-2 210

H-BACK 83 Hubie Graham JR 6-4 230

WR(Y) 87 Mike Shanahan JR 6-5 220

TE 81 Brock DeCicco SO 6-5 240

LT 68 Jordan Gibbs SR 6-7 305

C 54 Chris Jacobson SR 6-3 290

RG 78 Cory King SO 6-6 315

RT 52 Lucas Nix SR 6-6 305


Defense Returning Starters: 8

DT 98 Chas Alecxih SR 6-5 280

NT 94 Myles Caragein SR 6-2 290

WLB 55 Max Gruder SR 6-2 230

2005 thru 2007 8 white starters, 2008 and 2009 9 white starters, 2010 11 starters, nice to see them keep up the higher level this year.

Thanks for listing the previous year's starters, referendum, it's nice to see what teams have done over the years.

I'm also looking forward to Shanahan this year, especially with new coach Todd Graham's spread offense.

Starting TE Brock DeCicco decided to transfer to Wisconsin.

I think Shanahan is going to be a great NFl receiver in a couple of years as the kid is fast enough but hes also 6'5" with a reported 44 inch vertical. Pittsburgh has some good young receivers but he should be a low 2nd round pick in the NFl.

Does anyone know if Max Gruder is a legit NFL prospect? http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/235970/max-gruder

And, has PITT "scaled back" the reps of Myles Caragein? He plays hard, so, if they have, it's sad..

Deadlift I saw Caragein on the field a lot when I tuned in to watch the game. I think the fact that USF and Notre Dame, Pitt's last 2 opponents, run the spread is having an effect on Myles statistics. Caragein's a former heavyweight wrestling state champ from Pennsylvania and a stout DT. I hope against some more run orientated teams he can put up tackles in bunches.
