Why is their non-confrence schedule kinda idk weak, so many weak non confrence schedules this week seems pretty good. some power conference teams as well as some teams that will probably do well in lower conferences as RPI boosters. look like the schedule they've had for the past couple of years.

Pitt non-conf 2024 (based on 2023 Finish)
#7 Oregon #17 Penn State #23 Marquette #31 USC #41 UCSB #42 Pepperdine #62 Long Beach State #57 UMBC #94 Buffalo #116 East Carolina
ECU and Buffalo had high W/L for their RPI - so it will be interesting to see what their W/L looks like in 2024. UMBC is also unique to see with what happens to them next year.

Marquette is still the second best team in the Big East. UCSB was 27-5 last year. Pepperdine and Beach are usually pretty good. Buffalo and ECU both had 20 wins last year. It's the kind of schedule that doesn't look like a murderers row, but is statistically solid, and will look good in December. There is not cupcakes to be found here. And all the games against the West Coast teams are happening on the West Coast.

Also...adding some depth to the ACC I am sure contributed to not getting one or two more big names on the non-con slate...Stanford is obviously Stanford, but SMU is really good too

Honestly, the OOC is similar to previous OOC's.

I would not be surprised if the two games at the Pete sell out. I expect each of them to get at least 10k. I initially scoffed at the sellout talk, but then I looked at the capacity. 12,500ish. Maybe ..... especially if Penn State has a big start. The PSU games are what I remember most -- I don't know if the Kendall White floor cleanup made it onto TV, but it was very fun at the game.

Looks like Pitt has a commit. Any ideas? I would think this is a small class. They will only lose Bre Kelley and Dilyn Griffin when this class comes in.

We have no idea what scholarship limits are going to look like in 2 years. I trust the coaches will figure it out. There have been 2 Kellen signals over the past 24 hours. One is Hoppe. That's a very good start, even if we were probably always the favorite to land her. Her dad is an associate athletic director at Pitt. She goes to Pine Richland in the WPIAL, and her coach is Angela Seman, who was Pitt's libero 6ish years ago. Still, landing the number 1/2 ranked setter in the country who's already in the national team youth set up, is a big deal. The other Kellen signal we don't know who it is yet. i assume the instagrams will tell us soon enough.
