Pitt Men’s Basketball reloaded its roster as it aims to compete at the top of the ACC in 2023-24. Assistant Sports Editor Jermaine Sykes highlights and gives his opinion on the roster's current state.
Last season, Pitt men’s basketball built nearly the entire roster through the transfer portal. Now, after last season’s success, the Panthers will look to do the same. Senior Staff Writer Frankie Richetti breaks down a few players the Panthers should target.
