Jeff Capel and the Pitt coaching staff have been involved in the recruitment of four-star shooting guard Roddy Gayle for a few months, but they have accomplished a lot in that short time and made the Youngstown, New York, standout’s top six on Monday morning.
In addition to Pitt, Gayle’s top six includes Georgetown, Marquette, Ohio State, Syracuse and UConn. Some notable exclusions from the list include Kansas, which offered Gayle two months ago, as well as Alabama, DePaul, Georgia, LSU, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Rutgers, TCU, Tennessee, Wake Forest and Xavier.
The 6’5”, 185-pound shooting guard out of Lewiston-Porter High School in Youngstown, New York, is a consensus four-star recruit, with both Rivals and 247Sports ranking him as the No.
