Pitt coach Jeff Capel added the seventh new player to his roster Friday when junior college shooting guard Cashius McNeilly committed to the Panthers.
McNeilly previously committed to Texas A&M in 2019 and TCU before last season, but never played for those schools before enrolling at Northern Oklahoma College-Tonkawa. During the 2021-2022 season, McNeilly, 6-foot-4, averaged 10 points and 3.7 rebounds per game and shot 45.1% (41 of 91) from the field and 43.6% (17 of 39) from beyond the 3-point arc. At Northern Oklahoma, he was a teammate of 6-foot-11 forward Fede Federiko, who committed to Capel in April. McNeilly also committed to Maryland earlier this year.
