		<description><![CDATA[A pair of commits to start and finish the July 4th weekend.
Pitt just keeps piling up the WRs. Another tall, strong WR in Andrew Carswell out of McKees Rocks.
Carswell, 6-foot-4, 210 pounds, was one of the first juniors to get an offer from Pitt last season. He also had offers from West Virginia, Syracuse, Virginia, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The defense is consistent. The rebounding is solid. The things Coach Dixon likes to preech.  A good thing for the USA teamwhen the shots were not falling against Greece. The US still won 85-69.
&#8220;It was a little different game for us, a kind of grind it out game. It wasn’t real pretty as far as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Between family things, July 4th things, Wimbeldon finals, and house hunting; I have barely had time to even glance longingly at my laptop.
Plenty has happened, and I&#8217;ll try to catch-up and then keep up. In the meantime, the USA U-19 team that includes Ashton Gibbs and is coached by Jamie Dixon easily crushed their opponents [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Then there is the Big East releasing the Conference schedule match-ups. Not the when. Just who and where.
For Pitt, well given the pure unknown quantity of the team, the schedule seems challenging enough.
Home opponents at the Petersen Events Center will include DePaul, Georgetown, Louisville, Providence, Rutgers, St. John&#8217;s, Seton Hall, Villanova and West Virginia.
The Panthers&#8217; [...]]]></description>

The Big East announced the 2009 Big East Game of the Week schedule. These are [...]]]></description>

This is July 2. Half the country is starting their July 4 holiday weekend tomorrow. That means today is a getaway day. People [...]]]></description>

The game, of course, will be on ESPN and is the main event at 9pm. The undercard is Georgetown-Butler (which may very well be the game that actually features ranked [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s call them the Junior Redeem Team. The USA Under-19s, much like Kobe Bryant and co at last year&#8217;s Olympics, say they&#8217;re in New Zealand for the world championships on a mission to restore [...]]]></description>

That he fell for some mocks and pundits that had him listed late in the [...]]]></description>

“I just told them I liked them but no commitment,” the 6-6, 263-pound Clemmings said by phone.
“I’m going to take my other visits first and if Pitt is supposed to be where it is, then I’ll be there.”
Clemmings said he plans to [...]]]></description>
