Capel speaks on Johnson: 'I feel for him, but we're good'

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- For the first time, Jeff Capel publicly breached the sensitive subject matter regarding Dior Johnson, the Pitt freshman guard who is awaiting a preliminary trial for five charges stemming from a domestic incident in early September.

In his first appearance since the charges were filed against Johnson last Thursday, Capel didn't completely deflect the question I asked regarding Johnson while players Nelly Cummings and Jamarius Burton and he were on the main stage in the grand ballroom of the second floor of the Westin Charlotte.
