The Sweet Fruits of Victory

When Central Florida defeated Baylor in this year's Fiesta Bowl, they did more than simply win a football game. They also won an important victory on the recruiting trail. Jamiyus Pittman, one of the most highly ranked high school players in the talent rich state of Georgia and one of the highest ranked defensive tackles in the entire country was seemingly so impressed with UCF's victory last Thursday that he decommitted from Ole Miss of the powerful SEC and committed to the Knights instead. Granted, this is only one verbal commit, but as is frequently the case in college athletics, sometimes one is all that's necessary to create an avalanche (one key player sometimes creating a pipeline to various high schools, states, etc.). Go Knights!
