To put it mildly, Kevin Stallings was never a good fit at Pitt. Even at his introductory press conference he was treated with skepticism bordering on derision.
A bit bizarrely, he reunited with Sheldon Jeter, who had transferred from Vanderbilt where he had also played for Stallings. The transfer didn’t go very well with Stallings placed restrictions on what Jeter could do. Surprisingly, Jeter was willing to play for Stallings again and even acted as a bridge between the coach and his new team. He also had Michael Young, Jamel Artis, Cameron Johnson (now at UNC), Chris Jones and Ryan Luther.
