K'Waun is expected to be cornerback for Pitt.  He is listed as 5'9" and 178 pounds.  Williams racked up four picks last season.  He made an unofficial visit to Oakland last Saturday, and he apparently liked what he saw.

Wannstedt was the first coach to put an offer out to him.  In an interview with Yahoo! he showed interest in waiting to see what other schools came through.  Due to this, I don't have a very good feeling about his commitment.  He could very easily end up as a Panther but it seems as though he is still exploring other options.  K'Waun did say Pitt is top of his list due to being the first to make him and offer.  That interview was before his June 20th visit so hopefully what he saw in the "City of Champions" was enough to put him in Heinz Field on Saturdays next year.

The 'Cuse starts out their 2009 campaign with a Carrier Dome matchup with the Big Ten's Minnesota Golden Gophers.  Minnesota is an extremely young team.  The Orange aren't very experienced either.  I'd have to go with Minnesota in this game.  Syracuse simply does not have the talent to compete with Minnesota. It'll be interesting to see what Coach Marrone does with Paulus.  If he uses him in trick situations or if he's the straight up starter.  This puts Syracuse at 0-1 and headed to Happy Valley.

Williams is a 6'3", 180 pound wide receiver out of Bishop McDevitt high school in Harrisburg.  He had 49 catches for just shy of 900 yards and 11 touchdowns in his junior year.  By looking at highlights he appears to be a really exciting player.  Obviously considering his size, he isn't going to be a Larry Fitzgerald or Jonathan Baldwin.  Williams has great speed, quick moves, and nice hands.  There was nothing listed about this but considering his moves, ability to break tackles, and speed, he appears to be a potential threat as returner.  He hasn't been rated or reviewed by any of the major recruiting sites.  Salath had offers from Rutgers, Purdue, Iowa, Syracuse, Maryland, and Michigan State.  Other big name Panthers from Bishop McDevitt are LeSean McCoy and Aaron Berry.

The Big East has constantly back loaded their schedules.  By doing this, they set up the last week to hopefully have the two best teams in the conference playing on that December Saturday.  This year they have no idea what to do and set up the schedule with many great games.  The odds are in favor that it will be one heck of a week of football.

I'm going to breakdown each team in the Big East starting at the bottom.  I will give you my projected record, what to look for, the pros and cons of each team, and many more tidbits to hopefully give you some hope for the upcoming season.

Clemmings had offers from Florida, Notre Dame, Tennessee, South Carolina, Miami (FL), Rutgers, and best of all Penn State.  Paterno recently picked up a few recruits in Pitt's backyard and it left a bad taste in the mouths of Panther fans.  It's good to see us go over to NJ and pick up a kid that some big time schools showed serious interest in.

TJ Clemmings size is extremely impressive.  He is 6 foot 6 and weighs 266 pounds.  He has been compared to current Pitt star, Greg Romeus.
