Pitt Panthers Making Moves in the Transfer Portal: A Look at ACC Trends
The Pitt Panthers have been making waves in the transfer portal this offseason, with a solid showing compared to the rest of the ACC. While some teams have seen a mass exodus of players, Pitt has managed to keep their losses to a minimum.
Only two players, forwards Will Jeffress and Federiko Federiko, have departed from Pitt via the transfer portal, landing at Texas Tech. This ties them with North Carolina for the least amount of losses in the conference. On the flip side, Pitt has made some key additions in the portal, bringing in Florida State forward Cameron Corhen and Houston guard Damian Dunn to keep their differential at 0, the only team in the ACC with a non-negative number.
In contrast, Louisville has seen the most players leave via the transfer portal with 12 departures, but they have also brought in the most players with seven additions. Florida State has the worst differential in the conference at -7, while Miami and SMU are tied for second worst at -6.
With key losses to graduation and the NBA Draft, Pitt will continue to look to the transfer portal to bolster their roster for the upcoming season.
