Nick Kamberis Quotations

Pitt is a top-notch university and they have great facilities and a great staff. Penn State and Michigan have been in. It is still early in the process.

He knows where he wants to be. Last summer, he went to a football camp there and he loved it. It was the perfect fit for him. He didn't have to look any further than his own back yard.

He is nasty and the strength of his game is on offense. We can run the ball behind him at any time. In the next breath, he could pull away by using a combination of power and agility. When he gets there he will make contact and there is no weakness to his game.

He doesn't want to go anywhere else or look anywhere else. He wants to be a hometown kid. With the recruiting class Pitt got this year, it's really kind of a no-brainer. They're going to be good.

People scoff at that, but they're legit. We sent his tape out and all 122 are on there.

He likes the coaches from Pitt and that is a big selling point. He has family and his coaches from high school that want to see him play. He doesn't want to go four or five hours away because the people who got him where he is will not be able to see him play. This school is in his own back yard. This is an unselfish decision on his part and I'm proud of him for that.

I think at that level it would be too hard. Big-time football is too much of a commitment and he wouldn't wrestle as well.

He will concentrate on wrestling and go (to Northwestern) in the summer to check this out. He will make a decision before football season starts next year.

He talked about all of the coaches. Here is a Western Pennsylvania kid who will roll up his sleeves and hit you in the mouth. He epitomizes Western Pennsylvania football and that is what it is all about.

If a team is committed to running the ball then his strong suit is run blocking. We moved him around in a lot of zone schemes here. He is more for power football and needs to excel at passing. He will pin his ears back and go after people.
