This weekend, Pitt hosted class-of-2025 guard prospect Isaiah Denis for an official visit. In addition to Denis, 2025 prospect Omari Witherspoon was also scheduled to be in attendance for the Panthers for an OV.
Witherspoon’s visit was listed as Sept. 1 – Sept. 2, per Rivals.
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 summer, 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, before trimming his list down to ten programs: Pitt, Clemson, Butler, George Mason, Vanderbilt, Maryland, Oklahoma State, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Xavier.
Witherspoon already took recent visits to Vanderbilt and West Virginia, and reportedly has scheduled trips to Virginia Tech, Butler, and Maryland down the line.
Witherspoon is among the top targets for Pitt at the guard spot in the 2025 class. Check out the 2025 Pitt basketball recruiting board to see when Pitt’s other top prospects will be on campus.

Denis is a 6-foot-5 combo guard. At the time that he received his offer from Pitt (two months ago), Denis was a three-star prospect on 247 Sports who was ranked as the No. 23 combo guard in the class and unranked nationally. Now, he has skyrocketed up recruiting rankings with an elite performance for Team CP3 on the Nike EYBL circuit.
Denis is now ranked as the No. 41 player in the class of 2025 and the No. 8 combo guard, per 247. He has jumped up to four-star status.
