No. 11 Pittsburgh (7 commits)

After a very disappointing year, Kevin Stallings finally gets to bring in some of his own players.

Stallings lost guard Cam Johnson to UNC and will look to replace a lot of production gone from the Panthers roster.  But it wont be easy.

Since they are losing their top four players from last year’s team, next year will be a huge rebuild for Pitt.

How quickly they can turn around the program and get it in the right direction may rely on how this class turns out.

2017 Commits:

  • Marcus Carr (Montverde, FL): 6-2, 170 lbs, PG, Rank – NR
  • Jared Wilson-Frame (Niceville, FL): 6-5, 220 lbs, SF, Rank – 10 JC
  • Terrell Brown (Tilton, NH): 6-8, 205 lbs, PF, Rank – NR
  • Samson George (Washington, PA): 6-8, 220 lbs, PF, Rank – NR
  • Peace Ilegomah (Montverde, FL): 6-10, 230, C, Rank – NR
  • Shamiel Stevenson (Phoenix, AZ): 6-6, 230 lbs, SF, Rank – NR
  • Parker Stewar (Union City, TN): 6-5, 185 lbs, SG, Rank – NR

Look for Marcus Carr and Jared Wilson-Frame to be the only two out of the 2017 commits to play a major role next year.

With plenty of playing time open on the Panthers roster, these guys could find themselves with chances to contribute right away.
