He will immediately be downgraded to a 3-Star recruit....

‘Pitt freshman guard Dior Johnson returned to practice this week and is expected to redshirt the 2022-23 season school officials announced Wednesday afternoon.’

I didn't want to bury this during the game or in the game thread, but I'm starting to hear whispers Dior Johnson is going to be reinstated to the Pitt basketball program. I heard some things this morning, and a few other sources are saying the same as the day went on. I don't know if there will be some big announcement or anything from Pitt, he will just be back on the team. I don't have a specific timeline for this, but I do expect it to happen.

I posted it here and not Twitter for a reason since it is a unique situation.

Chip off the old block.

Who's with me?

Major L for BballinsiderfromPitt as he continuously said how overrated he was when he was committed to us. Mintz didn't play great last night but you can see the guy has "it." Looks like he's going to be a star.

4th and 27 and this asshat does this.

What kind of program do you think he transfers to? Do you think he'll be successful at a presumed higher level? I would have taken him in a heartbeat.

He's from NC. I wonder if an ACC team takes a shot? NC State? UVA?

More good off-season news.

At the weekly press conference Tomlin addressed KP's moxie and game winning drive ability by stating (and I'm slightly paraphrasing): We expected it. This is nothing new to people of western Pennsylvania. We saw him do it next door. When it happens next door is is less intangible. You can feel it.

Cha-ching!

I think he could give you a good 20-25 minutes at the ACC level.

What are your thoughts? I have some but want to keep them to myself for now and see what you all think.

Pitt quarterback Phil Jurkovec talks about his commitmenthttps://omny.fm › shows › the-fan-morning-show › pitt...​

How did we go about 0 for 20 on lottery tickets before him? That's almost impossible. Fede is a decent player but not great. However, if we had a guy like this on late Dixon or Stallings Year 2 or 3, we're probably making some NCAA Tournaments.

Dior Johnson’s Snapchat within the last hour were of him practicing in team gear which looks to be at the Pete… the rumor mill is that he is going to be back at practice this week and still under suspension until spring semester where the Pitt Board will have to approve of his reinstatement.

Wife and I are going to
Pitt vs UNC hoops Friday the 30th. Looking to watch the first half at the Pete then walk to a local bar nearby to watch second half. Recommendations for best place within 10-15 walk of the Pete? Thanks. H2P

It's been rumored for a while, looks like Hartman to ND is happening.

From a Pitt perspective, this an 'OK' event:

Wake becomes a lot more beatable for us next year without him. I'd like to think we beat WF either way, but them not having a veteran, talented QB like him should allow our overall talent advantage to factor more in the game (a stud QB really masks a lot of things). So just looking at the WF game, this is a plus event for Pitt.

But, since we also play Notre Dame next year, it's more of a 'meh' event. Notre Dame was always going to be a tougher game than Wake and now Hartman makes them way tougher than there other current QBs would. However, given the types of QBs ND could have drawn, I'd say this is not a negative event for Pitt vs ND, more of a neutral event. Hartman is a very good college QB, but we know him well, he is not a dual threat, and may not put up the same numbers outside of Wake's mesh offense. It will be a challenging game for sure, but Hartman leading ND does not seem like an impossible task.
