Pitt had a productive day on the recruiting trail on Monday, as Pat Narduzzi and his staff picked up a commitment from Javon McIntyre out of Philadelphia and kept the ball rolling by making the top two of LaMareon James, a Chesapeake, Virginia, athlete in the 2020 class who was once committed to North Carolina.
James named Pitt and Old Dominion as the two finalists for his services, with Old Dominion being his hometown school and Pitt serving as an extension of the previous interest he showed in playing for a Power Five program.
The 5’10”, 170-pound athlete out of Indian River High School is a consensus three-star recruit and drew scholarship offers from Auburn, Maryland, Michigan, Nebraska, Rutgers and Virginia Tech in addition to North Carolina and the two finalists named Monday afternoon.
