As has been known for a few days now, Cassin Diggs is no longer part of the University of Pittsburgh basketball program. We were informed several months ago that he would not be returning. We didn't know why until today.
Diggs was pushed out starting early in the season. The reports of an injury were grossly over played, according to someone close to the team. He did have blisters that bothered him, but they healed early in the season. His reason for not playing was simple; he didn't have the ability.
Diggs got caught up in a numbers game. He was recruited over by players, DeJuan Blair and Gary McGhee, from his own class. When it became apparent Pitt would need an extra scholarship, he was the odd man out.
This isn't a rare occurrence in D-1 basketball. Teams across the nation ask players to move on, either by transfer or by graduation.

Technically, he was not recruited over since he was the last one to commit. The injury situation may have been grossly exaggerated, but it did preserve another year of eligibility for him.
