Malcolm Gilbert, the 16th-ranked center in the recruiting Class of 2011 according to Scout.com, will soon become a Pitt Panther, joining a talented recruiting class that already includes three players ranked nationally in the top 30 at their respective positions.


Gilbert's verbal commitment was confirmed via text message to Zagsblog.com, as the Panther to be chose Pitt over Virginia Tech, Ohio State, Wake Forest, Virginia and Clemson. He will be playing alongside Syracuse recruit Rakeem Christmas this season at Academy Of The New Church HS in Bryn Athyn, PA. Christmas is the #1 center in the country according to Scout.


Gilbert joins a talented crop of Panthers committed for 2011, including Jaylen Bond (19th-ranked PF), PG John Johnson (27th-ranked via Rivals) and SF Durand Johnson (29th at his position via Rivals).

6'8", 180-pound Khem Birch, ranked fourth overall and first at his position in the country, just committed to Jamie Dixon, joining New Zealand C Steven Adams as the second commitment for 2012. Birch, from Fitchburg, Massachusetts, is the second five-star recruit in Pitt history; current sophomore Dante Taylor was the first.


Birch picked Pitt over offers from Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Ohio State, Providence, Texas, St. John's, and West Virginia. He was recruited by Pitt assistant Pat Skerry.


ESPN had this to say about Birch's "bottom line":
Birch is an off the charts athlete that can charge the game on the defensive end of the floor with his ability to block shots and rebound. His is a big time clear path finisher and when his offense catches up to his defense is game goes to next level. Birch has great upside and has drawn comparisons to former Cincinnati and NBA star Kenyon Martin.

Where the H*ll is Kansas? That stupid loss in the tourney must have cost them more than I thought. I'm going to go sit in a corner and suck my thumb.
