After a quiet couple of weeks, Pitt target Khadim Sy broke the silence that had fallen over his recruitment by announcing that he had trimmed his list of potential schools from five to three and set his commitment date for Monday. Pitt was among the final three schools, as were Ole Miss and East Carolina. Arkansas and LSU were the two schools cut by the 6’10” power forward.
Arkansas was a late entrant in the Sy sweepstakes that joined the fray after Eric Musselman was hired away from Nevada. Given the late start, it was generally regarded as a somewhat surprising inclusion on Sy’s final five.
