Late Tuesday night, Pitt received some more news on the recruiting front, courtesy of Omari Witherspoon.
After taking an official visit to Pitt from Sunday to Monday this week, Witherspoon included the Panthers in his top-three list, trimming his recruitment down shortly after his busy weekend. Witherspoon included Pitt, Maryland, and Vanderbilt in his top-three list.
Prior to his visit to Pitt, he took an official visit to West Virginia on Friday and Saturday.
Witherspoon had future visits lined up to Virginia Tech and Butler, but has now cut those programs from his list.
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. He is now down to just three.
