Pitt Pursuing Niagra Sharpshooter Noah Thomasson in Transfer Portal

The Pitt Panthers are hoping to add a sharp-shooting wing from the transfer portal.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers have made two big additions in the transfer portal this month - adding former High Point wing Zack Austin Rhode Island guard Ishmael Legget to add some much-needed experience, scoring and rebounding ability to their backcourt. Now the Panthers are looking to add shooting. 

Pitt head coach Jeff Capel is hoping Niagra transfer Noah Thomasson will be the man to fill that role. He and his staff contacted the graduate transfer this week and are among the schools recruiting him the hardest, according to George Michaelowski of the Portal Report. 

Thomasson has also received interest from Georgia, San Francisco, Penn State, Oklahoma State, St. John’s, and California. He's taken visits to meet with the Dons, Johnnies and Bulldogs. 

In his senior season with Niagra, Thomasson averaged 19.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game while making 38.6% of his career-high 4.5 3-point attempts per contest. He was a first-team All-MAAC selection in 2023.
