PrintLast week, I went over just how much Steven Adams had started moving up on the national level. I'm not going to rehash that information, but Adams got more recognition this week.
Recently, he shot up on Scout's rankings, moving up to the No. 8 overall recruit for 2012. Rivals at the time still had Adams hovering around the 50 spot. But that all changed as they've skyrocketed him up to the No. 5 overall prospect. Rivals hasn't updated the position rankings yet according to Adams' individual page - as of now, they still list him as the No. 12 overall center. But based on the new list, Adams is the No. 2 center behind only super prospect Andre Drummond. Drummond, by the way, could end up in the Big East as four of the five schools he's reportedly interested in are UConn, West Virginia, Louisville, and Georgetown.
And for the record, Pitt's newest commit, point guard James Robinson, is the No. 59 overall recruit.

is very good coach, he’s truly respected in the ranks of the BE and outside. As a Hoyas fans I’m always seeing this program reload for the long haul.

The good news
is that Pitt is really landing better recruits - years of success is starting to pay off. They’ve now had three top 25 players in the past three seasons.
Recruiting rankings aren’t always the most accurate, but instead of battling for three- and four-star players, Pitt appears to be in the mix pretty regularly for four- and five-star kids.
