Jeff Capel goes on New York City recruiting ‘blitz’

Just one day after putting the finishing touches on his coaching staff, Pitt head coach Jeff Capel traveled to New York City with assistant Tim O’Toole to scout top prospects in the basketball mecca and potentially reopen the pipeline that served Pitt so well during the Jamie Dixon era.

The first-year Pitt coach made stops at Archbishop Molloy, Archbishop Stepinac and Christ the King on Tuesday, according to Adam Zagoria of Zagsblog, who added that Capel keyed in on two members of the 2019 ESPN 60, including a five-star point guard and a four-star center.
