Next Episode: How New Pitt PG Nelly Cummings Will Bring a New Dimension to Pitt Men's Basketball, Jeff Capel's Squad | With Guest Stephen Gertz

Pitt Men’s Basketball and Jeff Capel have started contacting transfer and hitting the transfer portal as hard as they can. However, local Pittsburgh products have been the emphasis for Capel and his staff thus far in the form of Colgate transfer Nelly Cummings and Cal U transfer Philip Alston. Can the Pittsburgh connections and players help Capel build out his team for 2022-23 and reinvigorate the program?

Cummings and Alston are both solid players, and breaking down both of their games, bring something that Pitt does not have yet at the guard and forward positions. What can Cummings bring to the table that will help Pitt’s backcourt flourish with Femi Odukale, Jamarius Burton, and Nike Sibande. More importantly, can Pitt close on Cummings to land him as the first piece in their 2022 portal class?

Alston’s transition from a D-II school to the ACC will not be easy. What are some of the traits that Alston will bring to the table that make him an ACC player? Is he the answer at the 4 or is he a backup player? Is there considerable bust potential with a player like Alston?
