Report: Former Pitt C VisitsTexas Tech
Former Pitt Panthers center Federiko Federiko is reportedly taking a visit to a Big XII school.
PITTSBURGH -- Former Pitt Panthers center Federiko Federiko is receiving interest from another Power 5 program and will get a closer look at them soon, according to one report.
Federiko, who spent two seasons at Pitt after beginning his college career at the junior college level, has taken a visit to Texas Tech this past weekend, according to "Raider Family" on Twitter.
A transfer from Northern Oklahoma Community College, Federiko appeared in 68 games as a Panther, starting 53, over two seasons. He averaged 5.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game and shot 65.4% from the field while playing 22.4 minutes per game.
Federiko entered this season reprising his role as the starting center for the Panthers but was removed from the starting lineup midway through the season. As he struggled to finish around the rim, keep clean of turnovers and defend in the post, he was replaced by sophomore Guillermo Daiz Graham. The rotation eventually became a platoon with him and Diaz Graham splitting minutes and, upon occasion, combining in a double-big lineup.
Pitt is left with just two true centers on the roster now - freshman Papa Kante and Diaz Graham. Class of 2024 recruit Amdy Ndiaye will be added to the mix. They'll likely look to add another player to bolster their center position through the transfer portal.
