Capel lands 4-star commit Barnes

After losing Judah Mintz back in November, Jeff Capel's Panthers had zero commitments for the future of the program. But that changed Sunday, as a recruit announced his commitment to the program on Twitter.

Marlon Barnes Jr., a 6-foot-6 small forward from Lyndhurst, Oh. posted this Sunday afternoon:

Barnes plays for Brush High School, and is a former teammate to Pitt's current leading scorer John Hugley IV. ESPN rates Barnes as a four-star recruit and the sixth-best prospect from Ohio.
