I was able to get some exclusive video of the Pitt athletic department from their security cameras.

Conflicting reports for sure. All these impeccable sources...
Duke Assistant Jon Scheyer Serious Candidate for Pitt Job

Reports today that Pitt has offered their coaching job to Zaren Zynchowitch. He works in insurance and is the basketball coach of his daughter's modified team in Davenport, Iowa. When asked about the offer, Zynchowitch said he would consider it, but he fears the Pitt job would be a dead end for his coaching career.

Talked to Zaren tonight. We talked insurance. He didn't mention the Pitt job.

That is a home run for Pitt.

Capel can recruit. He may cheat but he can get talent.

This also hurts Duke recruiting.
Pitt did about the best they could do considering the state of their program.

Capel to Pitt

He has the "resources" to build the roster back up.

Agree. This is somewhat of a gamble, but a gamble a program in Pitt’s position should be making. The potential is there now for an accelerated rebuild.

Pitt is going to get 5* recruits now and Coach K is going to struggle with the Greg Paulus' and Jon Scheyer's of the world again.

This is good.

Jeff Capel is bad enough of a coach that Pitt isn't going to be a real threat, but good enough of a recruiter to weaken Duke.

Look for RJ Barrett, Zion Williamson, Cam Reddish and Tre Jones to follow Capel to Pitt.

Just kidding.

We thinking K goes in-house like Nolan Smith as the new assistant coach or goes outside hire?

Speaking of Paulus, wonder if this opens the door for him to return to Duke as an Assistant.

Serious question; If Pitt is willing to take a guy like Capel now, why didn't they before instead of the always underachieving Stallings? I don't think anyone in the country was surprised that he didn't last long.
