In response to BisonRoadWarrior
Pitt is a great opener for Navy - a home game with a "name" team that is going to be absolutely horrible, perhaps the worst P6 team in the nation.
Pitt will likely not make the nation's top 150 and will be last in the ACC. They graduated four starters and also had six scholarship players transfer out, including their other top player. Also they had two incoming signees defect. Out of their entire 2016-17 roster, they will have two players return – and they didn’t play a lot this past season. Their roster includes seven freshmen, no sophs, one eligible junior (a juco transfer), two returning seniors, plus a grad student transfer from Lafayette.
As can be seen from their roster, Pitt has been desperately signing every available HS senior they can find. Also they brought in Lafayette’s Monty Boykins – as a graduate transfer player who is immediately eligible.
The Navy schedule lists the FGCU tournament as being three games, but that may be an issue. Last year they couldn't attract enough teams and played it as a three team round robin. As far as I can tell, there has been no announcement that they have filled the field. In the past, the teams have generally been so-so.
