Has Pitt Found Its Shooter in the Portal?
The Pitt basketball staff has brought in eight new players ahead of the 2024-25 season, with two transfers coming over from Iowa State.
One of those former Cyclones, Nojus Indrusaitis, played sparingly as a freshman in the Big 12. However, the Panthers are hopeful that the former highly-touted prospect can tap into his shooting potential this upcoming season. Indrusaitis is now on campus at Pitt, preparing for his sophomore campaign wearing the gold and blue. Check out the latest video from the Pitt basketball social media accounts, showing off Indrusaitis’ shooting ability.

Earlier in the offseason, I wrote about how Pitt’s current roster is lacking shooting production at the college level.

Last year’s Pitt team went 265 for 766, a 34.6% mark. The year prior, led by Blake Hinson, as a team, Pitt went 317 for 887 (35.7%).

The Panthers did not have a single player make more than 60 three pointers last season. All four of the Panthers that made at least 30 threes last season are no longer on the team (all either transferred or exhausted eligibility).
Pitt has added eight new players to the roster so far for the 2025-26 season.
