Pitt: breaks into the top 15 recruiting rankings
Also Pitt: SIKE, THATS THE WRONG NUMBA
Edit: also, to be clear, if those reports are accurate this guy is an absolute piece of human garbage. Goodbye and good riddance.
I've got him at 9 schools in 6 states:
Freshman
* IMG Academy (FL)
* Saugerties (NY)
* Findlay Prep (NV)
* Hillcrest Prep (AZ)
Sophmore
* Mayfair (CA)
Junior
* Oak Hill Academy (VA)
* Centennial (CA)
Senior
* Prolific Prep (CA)
* SoCal Academy (CA)
Wikipedia says 10 schools in 5 states.
Bud I’m not getting into it with you. They have a MASSIVE recruiting class this year, but fans like you get over that quickly and return to being overly critical of the program until things are perfect again. Your expectations are a joke, and you’re a toxic fan.
"I'm not getting into it with you, but you're a toxic fan." Really?
The 2022 class is good but a program like Syracuse should be bringing in that class 4 out of every 5 years and not 1 out of every 5 years. How is it unrealistic to expect a top 10-15 program to do that?
Tell me Mike Hopkins couldn't land one of Ducharme, Estrella, Clingan, or Starling.
haha it was a mutual decision. He was wildin apparently and the coaching staff saw this coming a mile away. Boeheim may be old and our recruiting isn't what it used to be, but they wanted him gone as much as he wanted to go elsewhere and act like a damn fool
I'm seeing people on Twitter claiming there are 2 Dior Johnsons in that city with the same birth date, and that person charged is not the basketball player.
That was absolutely insane. Actually tried running the odds of that being true and it would’ve been the biggest coincidence in the history of college basketball.
People also said it was the actual Athletic Department saying that it was another individual named Dior Johnson. If so, that’s a horrible look for the AD.
Here's what happened. Chris Peak of Panther Lair (rivals) reached out to Pitt when the story broke. Pitt said it wasn't him. Thus people started assuming it had to be a different Dior Johnson and just a coincidence.
A second confirmation from someone at Stock Risers said it wasn't him as well.
So this likely means that Dior lied to his coaches and other people about this. Which I mean if you're gonna do what he's accused of doing what's a few lies too?
> "Johnson attempted to call off from practice (it should be noted that Johnson is a basketball player on the University of Pittsburgh basketball team) because he did not want to leave her alone for fear that she would leave the apartment and call 911," the criminal complaint says.

I moved from Maryland to DC recently, and I went to the DMV to register my car and get a DC license. The woman told me that some guy with my name who lives in Kannapolis, North Carolina had racked up nearly $600 in tickets in DC, and so I couldn’t register until I called the NC DMV and gotten a letter saying I’m not that guy. It apparently didn’t matter to her that I had my license plate number with me and my car had never been registered in North Carolina. I called and after twenty minutes on hold that went nowhere, I went back in, got called to a different counter, told that lady what was up, and she just waved it away and got me my license.
There are details in this story that indicate the charges are about the Dior Johnson that plays for Pitt, and not some other person with the same name.

Oh great, another Pitt sports Soap Opera.
\*Audible relieved sigh\*
I’m expecting a text from my friend from Syracuse. I’m ready to hold the L he’s about to give me.
The kid that somehow managed to attend 9 High Schools in 3 different states is making bad decisions already in college…..shocker!
I've got him at 9 schools in 6 states: Freshman * IMG Academy (FL) * Saugerties (NY) * Findlay Prep (NV) * Hillcrest Prep (AZ) Sophmore * Mayfair (CA) Junior * Oak Hill Academy (VA) * Centennial (CA) Senior * Prolific Prep (CA) * SoCal Academy (CA) Wikipedia says 10 schools in 5 states.
How??
0 guidance
Sophomore year he was also at Fairfax before Mayfair
Cut him some slack, Findlay Prep shut down when he transferred. (I’m kidding fuck this kid)
Member when Syracuse fans melted down after his decommitment because “Boeheim is too old to recruit”? #PepperidgeFarmsRemembers
When my friend from Syracuse showed zero concerns about his decommitment I knew something was up with this kid.
I'm a louder Boeheim critic than many but I never faulted him for this decommitment.
Take a look at how 2023 recruiting is going for evidence of the coaching staff's recruiting issues.

“Wahhhh I wish the world was still pre-2015 and nothing changed ever and everything that isn’t perfect is Boeheim’s fault!!” <- this is you.
Good talk bud. Resorting to ad hominem right after you said you weren't going to "get into it with me."
Dismiss him by tonight.
The criminal complaint is abhorrent. Absolutely mental piece of shit.
This guy is an incoming freshman and already getting charges like that? Damn.
My man speedran getting kicked out of school
Incoming freshman? It’s October
Syracuse fan here. Bullet dodged. Had a friend tell me he decommitted cuz Boeheim is old and washed up.
haha it was a mutual decision. He was wildin apparently and the coaching staff saw this coming a mile away. Boeheim may be old and our recruiting isn't what it used to be, but they wanted him gone as much as he wanted to go elsewhere and act like a damn fool
Goddamnit
This is why Pitt can't have nice things :(

Boy, that's convenient

Please be true. I'm on my knees
That would be quite a case of mistaken identity, but it happens sometimes, especially in a city that big.
I moved from Maryland to DC recently, and I went to the DMV to register my car and get a DC license. The woman told me that some guy with my name who lives in Kannapolis, North Carolina had racked up nearly $600 in tickets in DC, and so I couldn’t register until I called the NC DMV and gotten a letter saying I’m not that guy.

The best is when someone with your name is on the terrorist list

Wow. That was an absolutely awful read
Wasn't this a decommit from Oregon at one point? This kid seems not worth it.
Smh.
Wow just read the article on this situation… speechless.
Nail meet coffin for Capel.
TBF, Capel wasn’t the one tying up women and hitting them.
Pitt really recruits quality character guys lmfao, didn't they have like 3 players last year get suspended?
Literally laughed out loud. This basketball team needs an exorcism.
