Pitt head coach Jeff Capel jumped right to it this spring thanks to the commitments of Xavier Johnson,Au’Diese Toneyand Trey McGowens. While things have gone a bit silent since then, the Panthers have found traction with several prospects.
Qudus Wahab will visit Pitt next weekend as he is down to a final 12. Look for a final list to be made in the weeks ahead as the Panthers jostle with Virginia Tech, UConn, Syracuse and Georgetown, among others, in getting the chance to host Wahab again for an official visit.
Jalen Gaffney and Isaiah Wong have cut their lists already and the Panthers remain in the hunt. They are not thought of as a favorite for either, but they have made up major ground since the spring.
Anthony Walker, while he has yet to cut his list just yet, is supposed to unofficially visit campus this week.Chris Ledlum has yet to settle into his recruitment but a list should be made soon.
Aidan Igiehon, Precious Achiuwa, Akok Akok, Kofi Cockburn and Lester Quinones may be more difficult to land.
The Panthers' frontcourt remains the primary concern this fall. If they can land someone in the mold of Wahab or Walker, momentum will then be regained after a strong end to its 2018 class.
