Well, a domino fell Pitt’s way. Damion Lee is a graduate transfer from Drexel, and yesterday he opted to go to Louisville. That was enough for another graduate transfer, Sterling Smith, to rule out the Cards and opt for Pitt.
As much as Pitt has a desperate need for inside help, better perimeter shooters are nearly as vital to open up the floor. Too often defenses had no real fear of Pitt’s backcourt being a consistent 3-point threat.
