Pitt added a late player for the 2017 recruiting class this afternoon, as Kenechukwu Chukwuka committed to the Panthers. He is a 6’9” forward that played for New Mexico Junior College this season. Chukwuka actually recently reclassified to this year, and will have three years of eligibility.
Since his reclassification, he was flooded with a slew of offers, albeit mostly mid-major programs. Chukwuka chose Pitt over the likes of New Mexico State, Eastern Michigan, and Iona along with a few others.
Kenechukwu Chukwuka is a native of Sweden, and plays a Euro-style of game. He shows the ability to hit shots outside of the paint, and can spot up for three-pointers.
