On Tuesday, Pitt landed its second transfer commitment of the week as Houston transfer Damian Dunn announced that he will be joining the Panthers.
Dunn is a 6-foot-5 guard visited alongside Pitt commit Cam Corhen this past weekend. Dunn averaged 6.4 points per game this past season for the Cougars after transferring in from Temple last year. In 2022-23, Dunn averaged 15.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3 assists per game for the Owls, shooting 35% from three-point range. While at Temple, Dunn increased his three-point shooting statistics each year of his career, going from a 19% three-point shooter to a 35% three-point shooter by the end of his time there.
Dunn had nine games in double-digit scoring this year for the Cougars, including a 12-point effort late in the season in a dominant win over No. 14 Kansas.
Dunn joins a back court led by Jaland Lowe and Ishmael Leggett. The Panthers now have two scholarships remaining after Dunn’s commitment. With the additions of Dunn and Corhen, Jeff Capel has now brought in five high-major transfers while coaching Pitt: Jamarius Burton (Texas Tech), Greg Elliott (Marquette), Blake Hinson (Iowa State), Cam Corhen (Florida State), and Dunn (Houston).
Really good pickup. He was really good with Temple. He was the odd man out in the guard rotation at Houston behind Jamal Shead so his numbers were not as high as the year before. He is a good defender and rebounder for a guard. Being 6’5” and 23 years old helps, too.
Shead was the PG however. This guy is a 2.
Love the fact that he is a good defender
HTP!! This is great news! PITT Basketball trending up!
Welcome to PITT Damian Dunn and Cam Corhen
1 year of eligibility left it doesn’t say?
I like his ability to get open and score when guarded by bigger men.
Yea he never misses a shot per the video. lol
Recruiting staff is doing a wonderful job.
DD stands for dynamic defense!!! Pitt needs a lock down defender to take on opposing guards & wings.
Great signing by Coach Capel & Staff!! Keep working on your 3 point shooting & carry PITT to the tournament & Beyond! Welcome to Pittsburgh Damian!!!
