Pitt Reaches Out to Kansas Transfer, Former Final Four Player

The Pitt staff has contacted another transfer in the portal.

The 6-foot-6 wing played his first two years of college ball for Alabama, making the Final Four in 2023-24. That year, Griffen started 33 games out of 36 appearances. He averaged 26.3 minutes per game and scored 11.2 points per contest. He averaged 3.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.

Griffen hit 74 three pointers as a sophomore at Alabama, and hit 41 this past season at a 34% clip. Griffen recently visited Miami.

Pitt has already landed four 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. Before Minor, Barry Dunning Jr. committed to Pitt. Now, Minor joins the squad. 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.

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.

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