Pittsburgh's Basketball Roster
So, will Pitt be able to field a roster for ACC basketball play next season? Joking but not joking.
4 of the 5 starters graduate from a team that finished 4-14 and rarely used the bench. As well this month, three players have announced they are transferring, and a fourth player was dismissed for violating team rules. Going off the roster on Pitt's website and removing the players who graduate or are leaving, here is who I believe is left among returning scholarship players, with points per game.
Cameron Johnson 11.9 ppg
Ryan Luther 5.7 ppg
Jonathan Milligan 2.2 ppg
Rozelle Nix 1.4 ppg
A quick trip to a recruiting site shows Pitt with 6 incoming freshman, with the entire class rated as 3 stars (no 4/5 star guys). I'm guessing Stallings is looking at all avenues, so perhaps grad transfers are in play as well? Although it may be difficult to convince a guy to come in for a year when its a rebuilding job.
If no one else departs it appears Pitt will have around at least 10 scholarship bodies, but I think next year will be a massive struggle.
