Recruiting Recap

We have a lot of information on some Pitt targets, so I wanted to put together a quick recap list for easy use…

Andrew Fitzgerald-Class of 2009-Owings Mills, Maryland- Fitzgerald did not make a scheduled visit during the weekend of March 9th. Heis viewed as a polished post player who can play either PF or C. He was to be offered a scholarship during his visit, we do not know if one was extended even though he didn’t visit. His lead recruiter is Orlando Antiqua with Tom Herrion in a secondary role.

Sterling Gibbs-Class of 2011-West Orange, NJ-Sterling Gibbs is the younger brother of incoming recruit Ashton Gibbs. Several on Pitt’s staff believe he will be the top rated PG in his class. As a freshman, he had several games where he scored 14 or 15 points on the varsity squad for Seton Hall Prep. Sterling will play AAU ball with Omari Lawrence, Durand Scott, and Kevin Parrom. He has high interest in the University of Pittsburgh.

DeAndre Kane-Class of 2008-Pittsburgh, PA-Kane is a sharp-shooting SG from DeJuan Blair’s former high school, Schenley. Rumors still remain about his eligibility, but Pitt’s staff is not worried about Kane qualifying. Kane would like to continue his basketball career beside Blair. His lead recruiter is Orlando Antigua. Kane has high interest in the University of Pittsburgh.

Zeke Marshall-Class of 2009-McKeesport, PA-Superb defensive Center that played on a very talented WPIAL AAAA team, McKeesport Area. Marshall has not received a written offer from the staff as of now. His stock could soar with some additional bulk and a strong showing in AAU ball.

Frank Ben-Eze-Class of 2008-Arlington, VA- Ben-Eze recently decommitted from Harvard. The 6’10” Center has high interest in the University of Pittsburgh. Tom Herion is his lead recruiter, however he is not the only contact.

Ive read a little bit about him. But do you have any information on Tom Dorney. Ive heard its between Duke an Pitt for him but that could obviously change.

An if you had to take a guess who would it be Ben-Eze or Kane? It maybe both, one or none.

Anything I would say about who Pitt wants between Ben-Eze or Kane would be a guess.
