Four-star small forward Jalen Bridges released his top 10 on Monday afternoon, and Pitt was included as a finalist for his services. The elite recruit hails from Fairmont, West Virginia, but opted to play an additional season at Scotland Campus, a preparatory school in Scotland, Pennsylvania, before heading off to college.
The 6’7”, 180-pound recruit trimmed his list down from 31 reported offers, notably cutting the likes of Dayton, Marshall, NC State, Penn State, Robert Morris and Temple. Along with Pitt, Alabama, Indiana, Miami, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, USC, West Virginia and Xavier also made the cut.
