I think Pitt should be all over this guy

Nice player but we should be set with big men (Diaz brothers & Federiko). Need guards WHO CAN SHOOT WELL like we had this year.

Only so many spots & so many minutes

Unless someone meaning the twins or Fede becomes substantially stronger a guy like this would be a welcomed addition .

The success this team had with multiple players able to get hot from 3 should be the blueprint from now on .

Those guys were great but we looked anything but set in those games they got pushed around. They should get bigger and stronger for next year but a little more brute force can't hurt.

He probably wants to be “the man” somewhere, not fight Fede and GD for minutes.

My thought as well. Which I’d all fine and good. But as selfless as they are, I’d assume Fede and GDG want to be the guys. Fede is already capable when healthy and GDG priced in the tourney that he is a lot closer than many assumed.

I like his film and would be happy if we got him. But looks like a Big Ten half-court offense type of player would be match his skill set best. Teams like Iowa, Wisconsin, Purdue.

Nevertheless, the staff IS actively looking for a beefy guy to back-up Fede. See PSN's current list of players being contacted by Pitt and note the 6-9, 240 Ball State guy. I really believe they want GDG to be able to play mostly as a face the hoop 4 and not need to depend on him to back-up Fede as a back to the hoop 5.

They are, of course, recruiting shooters to replace Elliot, Sibande and Burton.

If no one else enters the portal from the current roster creating more open ships, then we should see two 6-3 to 6-7 in height wings who can shoot the 3-ball and 1 physically strong post from the portal being brought in to fill the 3 open ships. They probably expect incoming off-guard/wing Carrington (who may now be 6-5 or 6-6) to also be a 3-ball shooting wing.

They also do not seem to be looking for a point guard to replace Nelly Cummings--probably staying as is with Dior backed by incoming freshman Lowe.

That makes sense. This guy is probably too high of a target if you’re looking for a guy to play 10-15 minutes at the 5.
