Pitt counting on transfers entering opener against revamped Rider
A revamped Pitt roster bolstered by experienced newcomers hosts a Rider team that underwent a complete overhaul when both teams open their seasons Monday in Pittsburgh. Coming off a 13-20 campaign, Pitt coach Jeff Capel is counting on a pair of transfers to revitalize his roster. Entering his ninth season at the helm, Capel prioritized two key positions in an effort to compete in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Capel landed point guard Naithan George, who averaged 10.9 points and 5.4 assists at Syracuse last season, and Georgia Tech forward Baye Ndongo, who averaged 11.8 points and 8.1 rebounds. George and Ndongo bring familiarity to Pitt's roster, having spent two seasons together as teammates and roommates at Georgia Tech. Ndongo started all 90 games he played for the Yellow Jackets.

Despite the overhaul, Capel is aware the Panthers have plenty of ground to make up. "We were bad last year," Capel said.
