It's been a rough offseason for Pitt head coach Kevin Stallings but at least he has one less roster spot to worry about with the official signing of Nigerian center Peace Ilegomah.
Ilegomah, 6'11", committed to the Panthers earlier this year but had not yet signed. As Jim noted at the time, he was pursued by Saint Louis, DePaul, and a few others.
The lone unsigned player from the committed recruiting class is Shamiel Stevenson. The Post-Gazette notes he is expected to sign this weekend.
Not earth-shattering, but at this point, keeping players is better than losing them. Given all that's gone on these past few weeks, it feels good to have a guy stick with the program.
