Although some of the top players in the WPIAL left for other schools this offseason, there is still plenty of college-level talent playing hoops in Western PA.
Throughout the fall, college basketball coaches have been in and out of Western PA, checking out these prospects. This week specifically, the local programs have been in as well.
On Wednesday, there were several coaches around at the local high schools. Check out who was being watched below.
IMANI CHRISTIAN
Auburn was in at Imani on Monday, watching Tristen Brown, Nate Brazil, and RJ Sledge.
Bethune Cookman and Duquesne have been in as well over the past two weeks.

Montour’s Ama Tening Sow has garnered attention from all levels of Division One hoops as of late, including visits from Duquesne and Pitt lately. On Wednesday, Western PA native and Kentucky head coach John Calipari was in attendance at Montour’s practice to watch Sow play, Sow told Pittsburgh Sports Now.
