Don’t look now, but Jeff Capel now has all the pieces in place to contend for the ACC and perhaps, eventually, more.
The Pitt coach and former Duke star and assistant won a commitment from power forward Jon Hugely. At 6-9 and 240, he adds another piece to Pitt’s future front court, currently a serious weakness.
Only a few days ago, Capel got a commitment from another big man, 6-10 Max Amadasun. As we discussed the other day, Pitt already has a highly athletic core of midsized players who are only going to get better.
