Four Star Amari Evans to Announce Commitment Friday Afternoon

On Friday afternoon, Pitt target Amari Evans will announce his college commitment, choosing between Pitt, Xavier, and Tennessee.

Evans is ranked as the No. 74 player in the senior class of 2025 by 247 Sports’ Composite Rankings. Two of 247 Sports’ insiders, Colby Giacubeno and Travis Branham, have predicted that Evans will end up at Tennessee. The 6-foot-5, 200-pound guard currently plays for Overtime Elite, but began his high-school career in the WPIAL playing for Bishop Canevin. Evans plays alongside fellow Pittsburgh native Meleek Thomas in Atlanta for OTE’s City Reapers squad.

So far, Evans is averaging 19.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game early on in his senior campaign at OTE.Evans has visited Pitt numerous times, including an official visit back in June. He has taken official visits to all three of his final three schools: Pitt, Tennessee, and Xavier.

Witherspoon recently joined PSN on The Pittsburgh Basketball Show to break down his decision to come to Pitt and preview his senior season. He plays for St. John’s College High School in Washington, D.C. — the same high school that current Panther Ishmael Leggett played for years ago.
