Pitt Target Amari Evans Commits to Tennessee

On Friday afternoon, Pitt recruiting target Amari Evans committed to Tennessee over Pitt and Xavier.

Evans is ranked as the No. 74 player in the senior class of 2025 by 247 Sports’ Composite Rankings. Two of 247 Sports’ insiders, Colby Giacubeno and Travis Branham, have predicted that Evans will end up at Tennessee. The 6-foot-5, 200-pound guard currently plays for Overtime Elite, but began his high-school career in the WPIAL playing for Bishop Canevin. Evans plays alongside fellow Pittsburgh native Meleek Thomas in Atlanta for OTE’s City Reapers squad.

So far, Evans is averaging 19.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game early on in his senior campaign at OTE.Evans has visited Pitt numerous times, including an official visit back in June. He took official visits to all three of his final three schools: Pitt, Tennessee, and Xavier.

Evans joined The Pittsburgh Basketball Show months ago to break down his visit to Pitt and talk more about his recruitment at the time. Check out the interview below.
