2017 basketball recruit Troy Simons not coming to Pitt

Pitt has already lost several players from last year's team to transfers. Now, they're losing guys that haven't even suited up for the team yet.

Pitt's roster for next year was already going to be a huge question mark. It's looking even less uncertain with the news that incoming JUCO commit Troy Simons from Polk State won't be coming to the Panthers after all.

Simons committed to the Panthers just last month. But apparently, there are some academic issues that are too great of a hurdle to overcome. Simons initially indicated he only needed to take two online courses to be eligible.
