4. PITT
He may be just a four-star prospect and sit outside of the top 100, but there might not be a bigger, more vital visit for the longevity of the Pitt basketball program than Qudus Wahab. Despite the Panthers entering the season with little hope of an ACC title, not a whole lot is needed in the 2019 class thanks to the work that Jeff Capel and his staff accomplished upon taking over. They will likely see their two freshman guards start from day one but where a hole remains, and yes, it is a big one, is in the frontcourt.
The Panthers missed on Anthony Walker last month, but Wahab was always a priority regardless. He has already visited Virginia Tech, Georgetown, and UConn and could still visit Syracuse and before committing. Either way, Pitt remains a heavy threat for his pledge by offering 20-plus minutes and a starting gig to him once his college clock begins. Capel and his staff continue to track top-35 forward Akok Akok, but Wahab is their guy in the middle that they would love to reinvigorate the program.

Someone was asking about Pitt's recruiting and here was his answer -
Recently Pittsburgh has hosted prospects like Akok Akok and Qudus Wahab. Stockrisers also learned today that Jeff Capel and his staff will host 2019 four-star Tyrese Samuel for an official visit this upcoming weekend.
My best [and safest] bet on who Pittsburgh will land is 2019 big Qudus Wahab. It makes sense for both sides, Wahab could come in and make an impact right from the jump. Jeff Capel and staff has seen Wahab on multiple occasions over the past few weeks and “The visit was great,” he told Stockrisers.
As for a decision, he told Stockrisers he won’t know for sure till after his final-official which is this upcoming weekend to Syracuse. Stay tuned.

Corey Evans @coreyevans_10 · Nov 5, 2018 Finishing up tomorrow’s #TwitterTuesday but have room for another few college basketball/recruiting questions
5⭐️PROSPECT @dasteelers724 #TwitterTuesday Pitt's best chance for a big man is who??
3:45 PM - Nov 5, 2018 3 See 5⭐️PROSPECT's other Tweets
Seeing that Pitt is in the final five for Qudus Wahab and Akok Akok, it is safe to say that the Panthers' best chances remain with those two. Wahab just visited Pitt over the weekend and will likely visit Syracuse this weekend, the last visit that he will take before his commitment. This is a toss-up between each of his finalists: Georgetown, Pitt, Syracuse, UConn and Virginia Tech. The Panthers have a fine shot here and could definitely snag Wahab, but they are in an even better spot for Akok.
The top 35 forward is done with his visits, and now it is all about weighing the pros and cons of his finalists: Georgetown, Pitt, Providence, Syracuse and UConn. Not many have a pulse on Akok, including those even in his inner circle, but whispers lately have surrounded the Panthers and Huskies. Keeping that in mind, I will say Akok is the guy Pitt is in the best spot for, though the Panthers could end up striking with both or missing on each.

Interesting. The Pitt media train isn’t pushing Wahab as a basic lock anymore!

Qudus Wahab, the 6-foot-10 center from Flint Hill (VA) School, trips to Syracuse this weekend (Nov. 9) for his fifth and final official visit. Wahab, who cut his list to five in September, has taken official visits to UConn (Oct. 12), Virginia Tech (Oct. 19), Georgetown (Oct. 26), and Pittsburgh (Nov. 2).

IMO We really need this guy or Carrigan. Sidibe hasn't shown me enough yet to feel comfortable with just JBA. Adding Wahab would really change this from a good class to a really good class. 🍊🍊🍊

Definitely doesn't help that he's missing the game. It should be a great atmosphere tonight. We really need him or Carrigan.
