The Panthers are still in search for their first commitment in their 2026 recruiting class. According to 247Sports, the only other point guard Pitt has offered is three-star Western Kentucky commit Cole Edelen.

However, Pitt is targeting several shooting guards. Four-star Jasiah Jervis visited Pitt earlier this week and Jeff Capel and associate head coach Tim O'Toole each made separate visits to see Jervis at Archbishop Stepinac.

The Panthers have also targeted four-stars Adam Oumiddoch, Quincy Wadley, Jermal Jones, Steven Reynolds, Baylor commit Elijah Williams, Abdou Toure and Anthony Felesi.

In 2025, Pitt signed two point guards in former four-star Omari Witherspoon and former three-star Macari Moore. The Panthers also signed two four-star transfer shooting guards in Damarco Minor and Nojus Indrusaitis.
