Pitt head coach Jeff Capel had some ground to make up on the recruiting trail upon his arrival in Pittsburgh in late March, but things have calmed down significantly since then.
After meeting with members of the team who had requested their release, he convinced a few to stay and watched several others leave. Capel also bolstered his backcourt by bringing in guards Trey McGowens, Xavier Johnson, Sidy N’Dir and Curtis Aiken Jr.
All told, there are currently 11 scholarship players on the Pitt roster, leaving Capel with two scholarships to use as he sees fit this year.
