The Panthers have offered a handful of prospects in the 2024 class, including wings Darren Harris, Caleb Williams, Dwayne Pierce, Tyler Betsey, Cam Scott, Isaiah Abraham, Jalik Dunkley-Distant, and Isaiah Evans. Pitt has received one commitment in the class, coming from Brandin Cummings, a three-star guard who is the younger brother of former Pitt star Nelly Cummings.
