Former Georgia Tech forward Baye Ndongo has committed to Pitt out of the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned. He averaged 11.8 points and 8.1 rebounds per game this past season for the Yellow Jackets.

Ndongo’s decision to enter the portal came after Georgia Tech head coach Damon Stoudamire and the program parted ways after the Yellow Jackets failed to make the ACC Tournament. Across three seasons, Stoudamire led the program to a 42-55 (19-39) record with no NCAA Tournament appearances with Ndongo appearing on all three of those rosters.
His decision to enter the portal came just over a week before it officially opened on April 7. With his intentions to move on clear, Pitt has now scooped him up in the hopes of him continuing his scoring and rebounding prowess with the Panthers.
The NCAA transfer portal will officially close on April 22. Thousands of student-athletes have poured into the portal since it opened all looking for a new college basketball home. Ndongo is the latest to make his pledge to a new school.
