Pitt Lands Commitment from 15+ PPG Scorer Barry Dunning Jr.

Pitt has added another transfer portal prospect.

The Panthers earned a commitment from South Alabama transfer Barry Dunning Jr. on Saturday. The news of the commitment was first reported by Joe Tipton (On3).

Dunning is a 6-foot-6 wing who has played for Arkansas, UAB, and South Alabama. This past season for South Alabama, he averaged 15.1 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. Dunning shot 46% from the field and 31% from three-point range this past season.

Pitt has now landed three transfer commitments already this spring, earning commitments from two former Iowa State players. Dishon Jackson, a center, committed first. Then, Nojus Indrusaitis committed to the Panthers. Now, Dunning is locked in with Pitt.

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.

Pitt is also in top-school lists for several other transfers, including Damarco Minor out of Oregon State.

Minor, a 6-foot senior guard out of Chicago, averaged 9.8 points and 5.1 assists per game for Oregon State this past season. Prior to his time at Oregon State, he spent two seasons at Southern Illinois-Edwardsville.

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.
