Pitt Pursuing Harvard Transfer Chris Ledlum
PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers will lose their top four guards to graduation this offseason and will be looking to the transfer portal to recoup some of their losses.
One of the players Pitt hopes will help them do that is Harvard transfer Chris Ledlum, a three-year star at Harvard whose list of interested schools includes 16 high-major programs and that number will only grow the longer he stays in the portal. Adam Zagoria of ZagsBlog.com reported that Pitt will visit with Ledlum this week.
Ledlum is a 6'6, 225-pound forward from Brooklyn, New York whose impressive three-year tenure at Harvard comes to a close after he averaged 18.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game. He did not shoot particularly well from 3-point range, but made 55.8% of his two-point shots.
The Panthers will be in the market for new scorers as Jamarius Burton, Greg Elliot, Nelly Cummings and Nike Sibande depart for graduation. His strength will also serve Pitt well down low. With John Hugley in the transfer portal, rebounding help will be a necessity too. The Panthers stand to get much smaller next season as things currently stand.
