PITTSBURGH — The Pitt Panthers landed the top women's basketball recruit in program history and one of the best recruits in the country.
Nylah Wilson, a Class of 2025 guard, announced that she committed to Pitt on her Instagram and will play there next season.
She also played with fellow Pitt commit, guard Theresa Hagans, on Boo Williams, and they took their official visit to Pitt together back in the fall.
Wilson would cut Pitt out of her finalists, choosing between Arizona, Auburn, Baylor, Penn State and Texas A&M, and eventually decided on Auburn on Nov. 9.
She decommitted from Auburn on March 10 and now joins Pitt and Hagans a week later for her college career.
ESPN HoopGurlz rates Wilson as a five-star and No. 28 in the country. 247Sports and On3 both rate her as a four-star, with 247Sports ranking her No. 59 in the country, No. 3 combo guard and No. 10 in Florida, while On3 ranks her No. 34 in the nation, No. 2 at her position and No. 2 in Virginia.
Pitt currently has eight commitments the Class of 2025 with Wilson joining, as head coach Tory Verdi builds the program in his own identity heading into his third season.
This includes five international players, including three Canadians in guard Jayda Queely, wing Megan Hollingsworth and forward Divine Tumba Tshibuabua forward Meredith Venner of Colombia and forward/center Angela Le Faou of Spain/France.
It also includes her AAU teammate Haggans, who played for Bishop Ireton High School in Alexandria, Va. and wing Macie Arzner from McMinniville High School in McMinniville, Ore.
