Fermin, who now holds offers from Penn State, Temple, St. Josephs, VCU, and more, is ranked as the No. 145 overall prospect in the nation, as well as the No. 17 power forward, according to Rivals. The big man is coming off an unofficial visit to Pitt, and is looking to continue to build his relationships with the staff.
“I definitely could see myself playing for Pitt,” he said. “But, at the same time, all of my options are open, I don’t want to say that I can see myself at any one place, but, that is definitely a system I can see myself playing in.”
While mostly Pennsylvania and East-Coast schools are targeting Fermin, he is looking for somewhere to play where he can provide lots of minutes as soon as he gets on campus.
“For me, it is really, what can I do my freshman year at that school,” he said back in March. “I feel like I am good enough to play on a lot of teams my freshman year so does the team really want me to come in my freshman year and have a big impact. If not, they might have a little trouble getting in the race. But most schools really want me to do great things my freshman year, so that is going to be the biggest thing.”
