Pitt recently wrapped up the first year of the Jeff Capel era, and although the Panthers finished with a 14-19 record, the program made significant progress. Much of that progress was the result of Xavier Johnson, Trey McGowens and Jared Wilson-Frame, who took turns powering the Pitt offense. However, with Wilson-Frame no longer in the fold, Capel and his staff will look to replace his production and build around the young talent at their disposal.
The most pressing matter the Pitt staff needs to address this offseason is the lacking frontcourt, which saw the relatively diminutive Panthers unable to contend with multiple opponents due to the size disparity they were forced to contend with.
