They never stopped recruiting him when he got hurt last year.” Carr, a 6-foot-2 combo guard, picked Kevin Stallings’ Panthers over Clemson, Cincinnati and Virginia Tech. “From a exposure and fit standpoint the ACC is as good as it gets in college basketball,” Messiah said. “He has a chance to start right away and help usher in a new era in Pitt basketball.” Playing for the Northern Kings this summer, Carr proved himself as a talented scorer and playmaker. Messiah thinks Carr can help them playing both on and off the ball.

Whether or not he can get cleared for the 2017 season remains to be seen, but the Bearcats would be smitten with the athleticism that he brings to the table. Nsoseme becomes the second member of the 2017 Bearcats recruiting class, in addition to shooting guard Trevor Moore from Houston, Texas. Coming into the program this season is three-star center Nysier Brooks from Philadelphia, who will presumably compete alongside Nsoseme for playing time in the frontcourt upon his arrival in 2017. A year after going 22-11 in Cronin’s first season back at the helm full-time, the Bearcats will look to avenge their first-round loss in the NCAA Tournament to the No. 9 seeded St. Joseph’s Hawks.
