Podcast appearances and mentions of jeff capel

The decision has been made: Jeff Capel is coming back for another season. Now that it's done, we're looking forward. What's next for the Pitt basketball program? What does the staff need to focus on this offseason? What players do they need to retain and what should they target in the transfer portal? All that and more on the Monday edition of the Morning Pitt.

What does Pat Narduzzi's coaching tree look like? How much of Pitt's basketball roster can be salvaged? Do the Panthers have more four-star recruits than usual? And who was the best center of the Jeff Capel era at Pitt? Answers to those questions and more in this week's Morning Pitt Mailbag.

Post-Gazette Pitt insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable react to the unexpected news that men's basketball coach Jeff Capel will be retained for the 2026-27 season. This show is presented by FanDuel. What went into the decision by athletic director Allen Greene? Did anybody see this coming? Was Capel's reportedly eight-figure buyout prohibitive? Or was this strictly a basketball decision? Was this exclusively Greene's call? Or did the university and its boosters have some kind of say in the matter? Where does the program go from here? Is Capel's vaunted recruiting class enough reason for hope moving forward? Will the university give Capel more NIL resources now? And what can we read into Greene's message about more community/fan support? Our duo tackles those topics and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson address the hypothetical where former Pitt men's basketball head coach Jamie Dixon would return to the team if current coach Jeff Capel no longer held the position.

A stunning development. We took calls regarding Jeff Capel and there was an unbelievable number of defenders in the listening audience. Poni can't believe there isn't a higher standard to a program that was once the hottest ticket in town. Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show. Matt thinks the spring training record means something – something little – but it's a positive with a young team. Konnor Griffin has yet to draw a walk in spring training and there is some question regarding his patience at the plate – Matt thinks that's one of a few reasons the Pirates have right now to send him to Triple A. Matt, who is also the high school coach at Butler, got into some basketball questions as we enter match. He talked about coaching Ethan Morton in high school, who was one of the most-prolific scorers in PIAA history. Is it always the smartest thing to foul when you're up by 3 points late in the game? Donny Football Debrief – Gateway football coach Don Holl joined the midday show today to talk about Jaquan Brisker. What were some of his greatest hits?

A stunning development. We took calls regarding Jeff Capel and there was an unbelievable number of defenders in the listening audience. Poni can't believe there isn't a higher standard to a program that was once the hottest ticket in town.

The Steelers have signed Jaquan Brisker, which had Poni in a fun move. He likes the move for the Steelers defense, even though it's a little bit more money to that side of the football. 2 of the questions Poni wanted to ask to start the show – is Brisker one of the 10 best Pittsburgh natives to play for his hometown team? And is he a Top 5 Penn State football player to play for the Steelers? BREAKING: Jeff Capel will return as Pitt head coach next season. Steelers reporter Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show. Nick, a Pitt grad, said he is ‘beat down' by the news of Jeff Capel coming back to the basketball program next season. Nick doesn't think another ‘big' free agent will be signed by the Steelers after the Jaquan Brisker acquisition, but some smaller moves will be made. Nick said the expectation is for Aaron Rodgers to come back, but you just never know. Nick pointed out that Patrick Queen got paid by the Steelers today, the third day of the league year, so a trade for him is very unlikely.

Chris wasn't going for it and got made when Poni kept pointing out that Trocheck is ‘from here.' Are the Penguins too far ahead on their timeline to make this big of a move? Trocheck was great in the game on Saturday – a come-from-behind effort from the Rangers over the Penguins. Can he turn this team into a Stanley Cup contender?
