Point guard Darius McNeill made his plans to transfer out of California public on March 22, and Pitt was quickly linked to the former four-star recruit after the news broke. Now, with schools from McNeill’s home state of Texas swarming, Jeff Capel and his staff are planning on visiting him Thursday to pitch him on Pitt.
Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports was the first to report Pitt’s plans to visit McNeill, and he noted that it will precede visits to three Texas schools. According to Rothstein, McNeill will head to Dallas to visit SMU the following day. The next week, he will travel to Fort Worth to visit TCU.
