Corhen and Cummings were each lettermen last season, along with Papa Amadou Kante and Amdy Ndiaye. The other two returning players from last season are Benjamin Mayhew and Jajuan Nelson.

The Panthers brought in nine new faces over the offseason. Barry Dunnings Jr. joins Pitt from South Alabama. Nojus Indrusaitis and Dishon Jackson previously played at Iowa State and Damarco Minor is from Oregon State.

Jackson was rated as the top transfer addition for Pitt. This is his fourth stop in his collegiate career, and he previously played at Washington State, Charlotte and Iowa State. He averaged 8.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks last season, while starting 33 of 35 games for the Cyclones.

Pitt signed true freshmen Roman Siulepa, Omari Witherspoon, Henry Lau, Macari Moore and Kieran Mullen. Witherspoon headlined the class as a top 200 four-star recruit and a top 40 small forward from Washington, D.C.

Moore was also one of the top four-stars in the class as a top 250 player in the nation and a top 15 combo guard in the class.

The entire ACC media event, with both men's and women's basketball programs, will take place in Charlotte, N.C., from Oct. 6-8. The men's ACC Tipoff event will be on Oct. 7.

The ACC Network will have live coverage from ACC Tipoff from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
