Schenley High star DeJuan Blair has decided to commit to Pitt. Blair is a 6′ 7″, 240 pound Power Forward. He briefly soured on Pitt when he felt they weren’t recruiting him very hard, but in the end felt the love and has made a verbal. He was considered a good prospect with some risk — knee surgeries and sometime shaky interest in school work — who has blossomed into one of the hotter targets in the last 4 months or so. He had offers from Indiana, Wake Forest, Tennessee, Miami and K-State. He was scheduled to take a visit to K-State Tennessee this month, and he may still do so.
This is excellent news for Pitt basketball. It’s been a long time since Pittsburgh has had some good talent and Pitt got one of the best and more stable top flight talents.
