Pitt gets first basketball commit from 2020 class
Pitt coach Jeff Capel secured the first verbal commitment from the class of 2020 on Monday when three-star power forward Noah Collier announced on Instagram his plans to enroll next year.
Westtown's Noah Collier commits. Pittsburgh gets a versatile forward with high bball IQ, motor, and an evolving productive skill set. Good quickness and agility to guard multiple positions. @Ezbreezyjnc @WTbbasketball @TeamFinalEYBL
