Capel and his coaching staff, featuring three former Division I head coaches – Milan Brown, Jason Capel and Tim O'Toole - recently announced the addition of four-star guards Trey McGowens and Xavier Johnson to Pitt's 2018 recruiting class. The incoming freshmen will be joined by a returning cast of Malik Ellison, Khameron Davis, Terrell Brown, Kene Chukwuka, Shamiel Stevenson, Peace Ilegomah, Samson George and Jared Wilson-Frame.
Pitt has additional scholarships remaining and continues to examine roster options for the 2018-19 season.
Season tickets went on sale Tuesday, May 8 and can be purchased by calling the Panthers Ticket Office at 1-800-643-7488 or online at PittsburghPanthers.com/tickets. In early April, Pitt announced season ticket price restructuring for the 2018-19 season that has created reduced pricing in nearly every location of the Petersen Events Center.
Pitt will reduce membership costs related to ticket sales in response to recent federal tax legislation. Effective Jan. 1, 2018, payments made to fulfill priority seating and parking opportunities are no longer tax deductible. While no longer tax deductible, these scholarship-seating payments will continue to be utilized to support the academic and athletic needs of our student-athletes and Panther Club members will continue to receive other great benefits.
The Panthers non-conference schedule has not been finalized for the upcoming season, but Pitt will once again have an impressive ACC home slate with Clemson, Duke, Florida State, Louisville, NC State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Syracuse and Virginia Tech coming to the Petersen Events Center. A complete schedule featuring dates, times and TV designations will be released at a later date.
