Jeff Capel still doesn't have any commitments from high school recruits for Pitt's 2023 class. But his comments during a Monday ACC coaches' Zoom session signaled that his plan for the Panthers might rely the Transfer Portal as a complete alternative.
The only high school prospect in the country committed to Pitt basketball right now is Marlon Barnes Jr., a four-star 6-foot-6 forward from Lyndhurst, Oh. who plays for Brush High School, the same school where John Hugley IV played. But Barnes' commitment only addresses the 2023 class, and after four-star guard Judah Mintz decommitted from the program after the Panthers' season opener loss to The Citadel, there still is no high school prospect committed to Pitt basketball for the upcoming recruitment class.
