Former Pitt guard Sean Miller is in a recruiting battle against the Pitt coaching staff.
Miller is recruiting Pittsburgh native and current four-star Pitt target Amari Evans. Evans took an official visit to Xavier this past weekend to get to know Miller and his staff and take in the campus and basketball facilities. Check out Evans’ photos from his Xavier visit below.
Evans took his official visit to Pitt months ago, and just last weekend, visited Tennessee.

Evans, along with Meleek Thomas, began his high-school basketball career in the Steel City. He played for Bishop Canevin, before transferring to Overtime Elite in Atlanta, Georgia years ago to play ball down south. Now, Thomas is there, too, also playing for OTE. Regardless of where they’re playing their final season of prep basketball, both players seem to still be near the very top of Pitt’s wish list for the class of 2025.
Evans cut his list earlier this summer to include the following ten programs: Pitt, Mississippi State, Georgetown, TCU, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Villanova, Tennessee, Illinois, and Xavier. On3’s Joe Tipton reported that Evans scheduled four official visits: Tennessee, Ole Miss, TCU, and Xavier.
The four-star prospect is ranked as the No. 96 player in the class of 2025 according to 247 Sports’ class rankings.
Earlier this summer, Evans joined Pittsburgh Sports Now to break down his recent visit to Pitt, talk about being from Pittsburgh, making the transition to OTE, and much more. Stay tuned on Pittsburgh Sports Now for more on Evans’ recruitment throughout the fall.
