Jalen Hood-Schifino: Relationship with Capels Key to Pitt Commitment

Posted Jan 10, 2020
Jalen Hood-Schifino committed to Pitt nine days ago, but he already feels like he’s part of the team. Tabbed as a five-star recruit, he’s the most high-profile recruit that second-year head coach Jeff Capel has landed since being hired at Pitt. And it’s the bond that Hood-Schifino and his family have established with the Capels that led to his early commitment. (Pittsburgh Sports Now)
