Last season Pitt had three guys ( men ) in their 20’s who could shoot ( + Hinson ) and they had 4 yrs of college ball under their wings . No matter what the potential of Bub and Lowe are , they’re 18 yr old freshman and it shows .
The portal acquisitions of Ish and Austin while on paper looked good neither are difference makers .
The twins are potential and 2 yrs away and Fede’s regressed leaving the middle totally exposed .
Moral of the story schools like Pitt will really struggle building the roster with talented high schoolers vs finding older experienced players through the portal . Compounding the problem is that better programs are siphoning off the best portal players filling in the holes on their rosters .
Unless Pitt become$ a major player in NIL I don’t see a bright future for the program regardless of who the HC is .
Ps….Blame JC for the composition of the roster , but at some point the blame also needs to be shared with the players throwing up brick after brick , JC isn’t shooting.
