Pitt’s ’23 class is ranked 15th in the nation — second in the ACC to Duke — by 247Sports.com

With the addition of guard Dior Johnson, a freshman who has joined team for the upcoming season, Pitt could have three four-star guards — a sophomore and two freshmen— on its 2023-24 roster.

Capel’s recruiting efforts this year have landed seven players: four signed for the current team that began official workouts last week and three who have made nonbinding, verbal commitments.
