Though he has not been able to contribute on the floor to Pitt's run towards NCAA Tournament contention, Will Jeffress is still every bit of an important piece to the Panthers.

The Panthers forward is not far away from having a walking boot removed from his left foot, after he fractured his medial sesamoid in early September and had to have it removed with season-ending surgery on Dec. 1. The surgery was a setback for the junior, who was trying to rehab the injury under his own power for three months.
