Omari Witherspoon included Pitt in his top-school list in late July, and he is now working his way towards a commitment.
His recruiting list included the following ten programs: Pitt, Clemson, Butler, George Mason, Vanderbilt, Maryland, Oklahoma State, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Xavier.
Now, according to an update from 247 Sports’ Dushawn London, Witherspoon says that he has a timeline for his recruitment that is coming to form.
“…I’m trying to cut the list down even more and really find my home,” Witherspoon told London. “I’ll probably cut it close to the early signing period in November and I’m going to try and commit before then.”
While Witherspoon does not have a visit scheduled to Pitt just yet, he is in the process of scheduling a trip to Pitt, per London’s article.
“I like their play style a lot,” he said about the Panthers. “They had recent success with Bub Carrington who’s a hometown kid. I’m looking forward to going on the visit and learning more about them.”
Witherspoon is a 6-foot-4 guard out of Washington D.C. St. John’s College Prep. He plays for D.C. Premier in the summertime, and has been one of the biggest stock risers of the summer across all levels of travel basketball.
Witherspoon previously held offers from many different division one programs, including Pitt, Clemson, Oklahoma State, West Virginia, Duquesne, and others.
Witherspoon plans to take the following official visits.
Aug. 30: West Virginia
Sept. 6: Virginia Tech
Sept. 13: Butler
Sept. 20: Vanderbilt
Sept. 27: James Madison
Oct. 18: Maryland
James Madison did not make his top-ten list.
