Portal Report: Pitt, Duquesne, and RMU All Staying Active in the Transfer Portal

Published

on

We are now two weeks past opening day of the transfer portal window in college basketball, and local programs Pitt, Duquesne, and Robert Morris are certainly staying active in the portal.

More than 1,000 division one players have already entered the transfer portal within the first 15 days of it being open, and all three staffs have been busy calling up recruits from all over in an attempt to bring them to Pittsburgh.

PITT

The Panthers’ staff has reached out to more than ten prospects in the portal, starting with Chris Ledlum (Harvard), Zack Austin (High Point), and Myles Stute (Vanderbilt) within days of the portal opening, and most recently reaching out to Joe Girard III (Syracuse) and DJ Horne (Arizona State).

As for the 13 confirmed players that Pitt has reached out to, nine made at least 40 three pointers this season, seven averaged at least 12 points per game, and two — Ledlum and Ball State’s Payton Sparks — averaged at least eight rebounds per game.
