Pitt has solid talent. If Adams comes even close to playing at a level matching his hype, he could be the premier big man in the conference. Plus, though Dante Taylor has never come close to matchinjg his high school ranking, he and Zanna give Pitt size and athleticism up front.
But the guy who could make the difference for Pitt this season is Ziegler. I see him having the same kind of impact on Pitt that Lockett will have at MU.
I will not be surprised if Pitt finishes higher than we do in the league. That's entirely possible.
As far as Georgetown, however, I don't see that happening. I think the Hoyas are over-rated.
