A short while back, Pitt's basketball program got some bad news in that 2016 guard Mustapha Heron had decommitted and reopened his recruitment. Sometimes when players decommit, they declare their former pick as a favorite.
"Mustapha Heron and Rawle Alkins are wide open," he said. "They want to be recruited. They do not have any leaders in the clubhouse at this point in time. Anyone who says these kids are leaning toward a school doesn’t know. They want to be recruited."
I won't claim that Pitt has no chance to land Heron. I do think, however, that when kids decommit, it's hard to land them again.
