• Q: I hear so many things about Pitt's freshmen, namely DeJuan Blair, Bradley Wannamaker and Gilbert Brown. Whatever happened to Austin Wallace? I hear nothing about him this season. Has he not progressed as the coaches would like?

FITTIPALDO: It does not appear Wallace will have a big role on the team this season. He played only a few minutes in the two exhibition games. Austin was a project when Pitt signed him. He was 17 when he arrived and they redshirted him last season. He just does not appear to have the skill set that the other power forwards and centers on the team have. It's almost like he's a tweener -- not quite big enough to be a quality center and not quite athletic enough to be an effective power forward.

Austin is a hard worker and a great teammate, but the only way I see him playing this season is if there is an injury in the frontcourt and he is forced into action.
