Pitt nets 21 prospects in Class of 2021 at the end of unique year for recruiting [The Tribune-Review, Greensburg]
Dec. 17 The process that brought 21 letters of intent onto Pat Narduzzi’s computer via DocuSign on Wednesday morning “I think the fax machine is officially dead,” he said gained intensity in the spring while Pitt’s coaches were quarantined by covid-19.
“We were obsessed with recruiting,” Narduzzi said, noting his coaches worked 12-hour days with nothing else to do. “We didn’t have our players.”
And, thanks to covid, the process hasn’t ended.
None of the 21 prospects took official visits to the Pitt campus. Five of them visited unofficially at their parents’ expense when NCAA rules did not permit them to meet with anyone.

WHEN DID NATIONAL SIGNING DAY BEGIN?
The modern-day incarnation of this coveted date on the college football calendar launched in February 1982, after the College Football Association (along with high-profile coaches) successfully lobbied for a universal date for all NCAA football institutions.
Since then, National Signing Day has essentially covered the first Tuesday or Wednesday of February; and within this uniformity, the TV networks (read: ESPN) found a way to market the coverage of the even, not unlike how ESPN transformed interest in the NFL Draft in the early 1980s.
