Pitt Lands 3-star Recruit

The Pitt Panthers Men’s Basketball team went to the state of Texas to land their 3rd recruit of the 2009 class. Head coach Jamie Dixon announced today Pitt has received a verbal commit from forward J.J. Richardson (Fort Bend Hightower). The 6-7 forward is viewed as a energy player that scores the majority of his points in the paint and is a very good rebounder. A Pitt Insider told me today that J.J. Richardson is viewed as a Renaldo Balkman type of player.
