Pitt is currently hosting one of its top targets in the 2025 recruiting class for an official visit.
On Friday, 2025 guard Isaiah Denis arrived in Pittsburgh for his official visit. Check out the photos of him on his trip to Pittsburgh below.
Weeks ago, Denis, out of Davidson, North Carolina, included the Panthers in his top-ten schools’ list, along with the following teams: North Carolina, Kansas, Ohio State, Miami, Mississippi State, Wake Forest, Tennessee, Cincinnati, and Michigan.
Denis is a 6-foot-5 combo guard. At the time that he received his offer from Pitt (two months ago), Denis was a three-star prospect on 247 Sports who was ranked as the No. 23 combo guard in the class and unranked nationally. Now, he has skyrocketed up recruiting rankings with an elite performance for Team CP3 on the Nike EYBL circuit.
Denis is now ranked as the No. 41 player in the class of 2025 and the No. 8 combo guard, per 247. He has jumped up to four-star status.
“I think it was a long time coming,” he said. “During the high school season, I had a big high school season. Last June, I played in the Peach invitational tournament and picked up some high major interest there. They just didn’t offer. They just built that relationship during the high school season. Mississippi State would text me, Virginia Tech, and more. I knew the Ohio State assistant coach who was at NC State that was recruiting me to go there, until he got the Ohio State job. So it wasn’t like these schools were just calling me out of nowhere, a couple of them I already had a relationship with, they just wanted to see me get out and play after I had a good high school season. They got the head coaches out to see me play in the live period, and once that happened, I had a good showing in the live period and they were ready to offer.”
