Yesterday, Pitt announced that it signed 24 recruits for its 2010 football recruiting class. The class is considered very successful by many analysts. Scouts.com lists the Panthers’ 2010 recruiting class as the 15th best in the nation.

Pitt signed all 24 players that it had expected to sign, leaving Coach Wannstedt and crew very relaxed for the majority of the day. The only bit of worry came from top recruit T.J. Clemmings (DL, New Jersey), but was quickly forgotten after he faxed his letter to Pitt shortly before 10 AM. Clemmings was considered to be the top overall prospect from the state of New Jersey.

The recruiting class addressed Pitt’s needs at the defensive back position as well as the defensive line position. It also brings in top Ohio QB recruit, Mark Myers, and PA QB recruit Anthony Gonzalez.
