Jeff Capel and the Pitt coaching staff picked up a commitment from four-star shooting guard Judah Mintz on June 18, just three days after canceling a visit from former Pitt recruit Jalen Hood-Schifino. And on Wednesday, Mintz’s AAU squad Team Durant and Hood-Schifino’s Team Thad squared off at Peach Jam down in North Augusta, South Carolina, providing a glimpse at the talent Pitt landed and lost in the 2022 recruiting cycle.
Mintz and Hood-Schifino were the clear standouts on their respective teams, as each led their team in points and assists. Mintz finished with 19 points, five assists and six rebounds, and Hood-Schifino came up with a remarkably similar stat line, with 19 points, six assists and four rebounds.
