Since '05, the Pitt Panthers have started 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 11, 11, 10, 9, 7 and 8 whites. Pitt is projected to drop to 6 white starters in 2017 which would be the lowest recorded number since CF has been tracking white starter.
Overall the roster is in pretty bad shape and it seems that Pat Narduzzi is intent on going all in with his caste belief system. The only right bright spot is he continues to recruit white QBs. Speaking of QBs - former USC QB Max Browne has transferred to Pitt - he is projected as the starting QB and will be interesting to watch in terms of a draft perspective and if he lives up to his former 5 star ranking. Pitt supposedly has a bright young QB on the horizon - Kenny Pickett who is projected to redshirt this season and he is down on the depth chart but who knows what may happen - he could be one to keep an eye on if Pitt's season tanks and Browne falters. OL Brian O'Neil and Alex Bookser are dominant and have a future playing on Sundays when they are draft eligible.
While reading through a couple articles analyzing the depth chart which gushed over the supposed depth at the RB position this year one name obviously remains out of the conversation - that of George Alston who is white and has been put at his racially appropriate position of FB. All he did last year was total 10 touchdowns - he is a big back at 6'0 245 lbs and my guess he is just as athletic if not more so than similarly sized James Conners who left for the NFL. Hopefully he is able to create a niche again for himself on offense but he is a perfect example of the caste system in action.
The defense features 0 white starters and two white DTs listed on the initial depth chart as backups. Other than that it is a very dark defense. Narduzzi has really been a disappointment in recruiting.
The offensive line is 9/16 white athletes.
Some players to look out for include QB Ben DiNucci, TE Matt Flanagan (Rutgers Transfer), DT Mike Herndon, DT Shane Roy
Offense
QB - Max Browne
FB - George Alston
TE - Chris Clark
LT - Brian O'Neil
C - Connor Dintino
RG - Alex Bookser
