    Terrell Brown, a 6-foot-10 stretch forward from the BABC AAU program and the Barrington (RI) St. Andrews School, verbally committed to Pittsburgh on Sunday.

    Brown joins 6-2 point guard Aaron Thompson of Paul VI (MD) in new coach Kevin Stalling’s Class of 2017 recruiting class.

    “Terrell has the unique combination of being able to score in the low post and also be a legitimate threat from the three-point line,” BABC director Leo Papile told SNY.tv. “He has a ‘pro body’ and having just turned 18, he has room to grow in that area as well. I really enjoyed watching him mature over his four years with us at BABC. Pitt has a guy with unlimited potential.”

    The news was first reported by Matt Steinbrink of Rivals.

    WESTERN KENTUCKY ADDS PANCAKE THOMAS

    Western Kentucky added Hartford graduate transfer Pancake Thomas, a 6-3 guard who averaged 18.9 points and 6.2 rebounds per game during his senior year.

    Thomas is the third graduate transfer head coach Rick Stansbury has added this offseason, following Junior Lomomba (Providence) and Que Johnson (Washington State), meaning this team should be a factor in Conference USA.

    Western Kentucky also added 6-10 big man Mitchell Robinson and former Syracuse commit Moustapha Diagne beginning in 2017.

    Jon Rothstein of CBSSports.com first reported the Thomas news.
