Pitt Reached Out to Temple Transfer Damian Dunn
PITTSBURGH -- The Pitt Panthers lost their top four guards to graduation this offseason and as a result, have turned transfer portal to fill the minutes and points void that Nike Sibande, Jamarius Burton, Greg Elliot and Nike Sibande will leave behind.
To do that, the Panthers are one of many schools pursuing Temple transfer Damian Dunn, one of the best guards available in the portal this offseason. They'll face stiff competition to earn his services, with Gonzaga, Miami, NC State, Iowa State, UConn, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia and Maryland also having reached out as well, according to a report from recruiting insider Joe Tipton.
Dunn, a three-year starter for the Owls and two-time All-AAC selection, will be one of the hottest names in the portal after averaging 15.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game during the 2022-23 season. His name showed up in the portal officially just this week but things move fast in the transfer market and he will have plenty of suitors soon.
He is listed as a guard, but at 6'5 and 165-pounds, he could fit better on the wing, leaving room for Pitt to use blue-chip sophomore Dior Johnson or talented incoming freshmen Jaland Lowe or Carlton Carrington as primary ball handlers. As a 34.8% 3-point shooter, cable shot maker from the mid-range and strong driver, he's an easy fit with whoever the Panthers surround him with offensively.
