More often than not, my predictions don’t come true, for a variety of reasons (I have a fantasy football draft on Saturday night, which will likely prove this theory once again).But there are some things I know will happen, and I know them from experience. He was asked if there is another receiver Addison reminds him of, and this is what he came up with:That’s lofty praise, I’d say. Just like I’ve heard some pretty high praise about a few of the other freshmen I’ve mentioned, I’ve heard people talk in glowing terms about Solomon DeShields and Bangally Kamara.After a couple weeks of camp, the coaches believe those two guys are going to be really good. The penciled-in starters are Cam Bright, Phil Campbell and Chase Pine, with Wendell Davis pushing Pine for playing time and possibly the starting job in the middle.But there’s virtually no depth in the reserve ranks behind those guys. The challenge will be finding someone to play next to him.

Here are the cornerbacks Pitt has recruited since the class of 2016:I’m sure yinz are smart enough to see where we’re going with this.If you just look at the potential returning players - that would be the classes of 2016-19 - Pitt signed 10 players as cornerbacks. Whoever wins the starting job is going to get a lot more reps than they would have prior to Mathis’ injury. That doesn’t help the depth.Really, the biggest issue was that 2018 class.
