With Pitt and Penn State set to renew hostilities at Heinz Field on Saturday before a sellout crowd and a group of Panthers legends set to be inducted into the Pitt Athletics Hall of Fame, this weekend was always going to be a monumental one for all involved in the festivities.
Now, the Pitt basketball program is getting in on the action as well, as it will welcome several elite recruits to Pittsburgh on Saturday. The guests include in-state standouts Ethan Morton and Will Jeffress, who hail from Butler and Erie, respectively. Morton is the No. 1 recruit in Pennsylvania in 2020, and Jeffress holds that distinction in the 2021 class, according to 247Sports.
