Peace Ilegomah, a 6-foot-10 center from Montverde (FL) Academy, committed to Pittsburgh on Friday, becoming the sixth commit in their 2017 class.
The native Nigerian joins point guards Marcus Carr and Aaron Thompson, shooting guard Jared Wilson-Frame, small forward Shamiel Stevenson and power forward Terrell Brown in Pitt’s 2017 class. Carr also plays at Montverde.
Ilegomah also held offers from St. Louis, Seton Hall and Quinnipiac. Pitt assistant Kevin Sutton is the former head coach at Montverde.
“Peace has gotten a lot better from the start of the season to now,” Montverde assistant Rae Miller said. “His best years are still ahead of him. He’s athletic and strong, able to rebound and defend at a high level.”
Ilegomah got his start with the Sports U AAU program in New Jersey.
