Pitt has added two recruits for the Class of 2012, as Xavier (Ohio) offensive lineman Brandyn Cook and Germantown cornerback William Parks have joined the fold.
↵Cook was impressed with Pitt's coaching staff and facilities, but what seems to have sealed the deal is that Pitt was also very interested:
↵↵↵Cook, 6-2, 290, had offers from Youngstown State and Miami (Ohio) and interest from several others, St. Xavier coach Steve Spect said.
↵"Everybody was in a wait-and-see pattern," he said, "but Pitt really wanted him and was excited about him from the get-go. It's one thing being offered a scholarship and another thing being the first choice."

Parks was also a running back in high school and is listed as a two-star recruit by Scout.
↵Other Pitt 2012 recruits so far include three-star defensive back Myles Hilliard, from Ohio, and Sto-Rox quarterback Marzett Geter, who will probably be a wide receiver or defensive back at the college level.
