Pitt Basketball Secures Australian Forward Commitment

Former Pitt player Lamar Patterson (2009-14) is currently playing in Australia and has a connection with Siulepa with the South West Metro Pirates. Mike Vukovcan of Pittsburgh Sports Now reported that Patterson helped recruit Siulepa to Pitt.

Siulepa will have four years of eligibility when he joins Pitt and just turned 19 on July 9. He is also the second Australian forward that joined Pitt this offseason, along with Henry Lau.

Pitt has three other freshmen that have signed on in four-star guard Omari Witherspoon from St. John's College High School in Washington, D.C., three-star center Kieran Mullen from Vancouver, Canada, who played for St. Thomas More High School, a boarding school in Oakdale, Conn., plus three-star guard Macari Malone, who decommitted from Iowa State, and played for Huron High School in Ann Arbor, Mich.

They also have two Iowa State transfers that signed this offseason in guard Nojus Indrusaitis and center Dishon Jackson.

Pitt signed all four transfers that previously committed, including the Iowa State duo, plus Oregon State guard Damarco Minor and South Alabama forward Barry Dunning Jr.

The Panthers return four players in forwards Cam Corhen, Papa Amadou Kante and Amdy Ndiaye, plus guard Brandin "Beebah" Cummings.
