On Sunday, Jeff Capel and the Pitt hoops program received some good news when four-star junior Marlon Barnes committed to the Panthers.
Marlon Barnes Breaks Down Commitment to Pitt: ‘It Will Feel Like I’m Home’
Barnes is a 6-foot-6 wing who prides himself on his shooting ability. He plays for Brush High School in Cleveland, Ohio, which is the same high school that current Pitt star John Hugley shined in his high school career just a couple of years ago.
Brush has had a solid start to the season so far, led by Barnes, who is coming off of an MVP performance in a win over Gilmour.
The rest of Brush’s basketball schedule is listed below.
