Awesome! One down and 4-5 more to go. Coulibaly next is my guess!
107 overall in 247's composite, although they themselves haven't rated him. Big get. Love his game, really seems like he could go in a couple different directions with his frame and skill set. I'd love our own version of Admiral Schofield, but I don't want to put those kind of expectations on him.
Welcome Gerald!!
Nice pickup. I think his game will fit in well with the young guys we have.
Because you should let the kid do it first. I knew he was going to commit about 5 or 6 weeks ago, but I didn't put it on the board.
HUGE! Now maybe the dam is broken and more committments role in! Welcome Gerald, This is that jolt of excitement that the players and fans both needed, or at least I did. I've got a rather large smile on my face tonight, knowing Pitt hoops is in great hands with this addition and Coach Capel!
I have tried not to get too caught up but I feel like if Pitt could get two bigs/Center types via JuCO/ Grad Transfer, they could actually rise to an NCAAT team next season.
Quick turnarounds are certainly possible in hoops but that would still be a mighty big leap. Nothing wrong with setting your sights high though. Personally next year I’d be thrilled if they’re a middle of the pack NIT team. Actually would be pretty happy if they just made the NIT.
Is there anything else you know about?? Even if you can’t say what it actually is?
They have now. #170 on 247; composite #116.
There's a good chance he will move up as well.

Ah, they just updated that today. 170 seems conservative to me, I'd definitely expect his final ranking to be closer to the composite.
Hooray , now we can move past the “but we don’t have any commitments yet posts “
Let’s hope this opens the floodgates !

Great news! Welcome Gerald! Going to be exciting - or is that X-citing?
Go Pitt.
Go Pitt.
I feel like if Pitt had an average center who could rebound like a Dante Taylor, it could have a shot at the NCAAT next year.
This is a strange quote from PSN:
"He also had offers from Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland State, DePaul, George Mason, George Washington, Georgia, Hofstra, Maryland, UMass, Quinnipiac, St. Bonaventure and Vermont"
He's a Top 150 player. Why would they list offers from Quinnipiac, Vermont, Hofstra, Cleveland State, etc? Wouldnt he have like dozens of offers from mid-majors? So why list those in an article?

He was off the radar of most teams because of his football playing.
He quit playing football, focused on basketball and teams started showing more interest.
He is a late bloomer if you will.
So his upside is great. Pitt pounced on him at the right time.
Yes!Is there anything else you know about?? Even if you can’t say what it actually is?
Agree. Fits in nice at the wing & you never can have enough shooters. Also a better athlete & driver than most ppl think he is. Plus with us not having much size at this point he can defend bigger guys with his toughness & physical ability if needed.
No need for this.
Enjoy the moment and look forward to hopefully many more excellent commits!
