Potential Pitt 2019 Target: C Jason Jitoboh

One name to watch as Pitt wraps up its 2018 recruiting and shifts its focus to 2019 is center Jason Jitoboh from Tennessee. Jitoboh is a name to watch as an under the radar target as Pitt heats up their search for big men to bolster what is currently a guard-heavy roster, light on frontcourt options.

Jitoboh has largely flown under the radar as a recruit, remaining unranked by both 247sports and rivals as of June 13th. Still, the 6 foot 11 inch center from Tennessee has received a lot of attention from major D-1 programs.

He currently has offers from Louisville, Tennessee, Auburn, Wake Forest, and a few other programs, in addition to being courted by Clemson, West Virginia, and Xavier.

And when you look at his highlights, it is clear to see why. Jitoboh towers over most of his high school opponents, and uses his length effectively to block shots and secure plenty of rebounds. Further, he is agile on the low block and able to defend against the drive.

His post offense also looks to be pretty good, though he would likely be challenged offensively by bigger, stronger opponents in the post in the ACC. See his 2017 summer highlight video below:

At this time, there is nothing concrete linking Jitoboh to Pitt or the coaching staff, but I have a feeling that he could wind up on their radar.
