Pitt Basketball Signs 7-foot Canadian Center

PITTSBURGH — The Pitt Panthers finalized an addition to their Class of 2025, who will join the team ahead of next season.

Pitt announced that they signed Class of 2025 recruit Kieran Mullen to an aid agreement, through a press release. The aid agreement is a replacement of the National Letter of Intent (NLI), as colleges enter into the new era of revenue sharing, which will allow them to pay student-athletes directly.

Mullen committed to Pitt back on April 28 and will redshirt this upcoming season, as he gains experience in the college game. He stands 7-foot and 220 pounds, the tallest player on the team.

Mullen played for St. Thomas More High School, a boarding school in Oakdale, Conn. a school in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC).averaged 9.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.3 blocks per game, while also shooting 31% from 3-point range over 39 games last season

He held offers from Coastal Carolina, James Madison, Montana State and Seattle. Pitt also visited him back on Sept. 6, 2024, according to Derek Murray.

Mullen is a mobile big man that loves attacking the rim, throwing down a ferocious slam or using his foot work and executing a nice finger roll at the basket. He also is dominant on defense, grabbing rebounds and blocking shots with ease, and shoots well from mid-range.
