An available transfer portal prospect has placed Pitt in his top-three schools list.

According to a report by On3’s Joe Tipton, Pitt made the top three for Oregon State transfer guard Damarco Minor. Minor is represented by agent Scott Nichols of Rize.

Minor has started 98 of the 99 career games he has played at the D1 level. This season, he played 31.9 minutes per game for the Beavers, shooting a career-low 28% from three-point range.

Minor set career highs in the 2023-24 season with SIU-Edwardsville, averaging 15.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per game.

Pitt has landed two transfer commitments already this spring, earning commitments from two former Iowa State players. Dishon Jackson, a center, committed first. Then, on Monday, Nojus Indrusaitis committed to the Panthers. Stay tuned for more on PSN.

Jackson is a 6-11, 275-pound senior center, who this past season averaged 8.5 points and 5.1 rebounds per game in 18.7 minutes of action. The year prior, he averaged 11.4 points and 6.1 rebounds. His best two performances last year were a 17-point, 4 rebound game against Kansas and a 14-point, 5-rebound effort against TCU.

Indrusaitis, who spent his high-school years in the Chicago area, was ranked as the No. 96 player and a four-star prospect in the class of 2024 before going to Iowa State. He played for Meanstreets EYBL and also competed for Saint Rita High School in Chicago before going to Brewster Academy.
