In recent years, Jeff Capel and his staff at Pitt basketball have been active in the transfer portal, adding talent from various levels of Division One college basketball. While the portal can be beneficial in adding new players, it can also lead to roster turnover if multiple players leave each offseason for different opportunities. This article explores where two Panthers who entered the transfer portal ended up.
Federiko Federiko, a former starter at Pitt who played two seasons for the team, recently joined Texas Tech after entering the transfer portal. Despite his contributions at Pitt as a rim-running big man, the team found a replacement in transfer Cam Corhen from Florida State. On the other hand, William Jeffress, a native of Erie, PA, who graduated from Pitt after playing significant minutes over two seasons but missed an entire season due to a foot injury and returned to play a reduced role in his final year at Pitt has now joined Louisiana Tech. The team that finished second in Conference USA last season will benefit from Jeffress’s defensive efforts and previous experience.
