Pitt basketball has landed a major addition with the commitment of 21-year-old Bosnian wing Amsal Delalic, who will join as a freshman next season. Delalic, coming off a strong professional season in Bosnia’s top division, visited Pittsburgh this week and praised the coaching staff in his commitment announcement. The 6-7 wing averaged impressive stats, including notable efficiency from beyond the arc, and he ranks highly among European players his age.

By the Numbers
  • 13.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists per game
  • 41% three-point shooting with 56 made triples in 23 games
  • Ranked No. 26 among European players in his age group
Yes, But

Cretan and Louisville were also reportedly pursuing Delalic, indicating strong competition for his commitment. Additionally, his professional experience in Europe may require an adjustment period to the American college basketball style.

State of Play
  • Delalic becomes the third member of Pitt’s 2024 recruiting class
  • Pitt now has 12 scholarship players for the upcoming season, with one slot remaining
What's Next

Delalic aims to enhance his draft stock and transition to the NBA by leveraging his experience against professional talent in Europe. Pitt’s coaching staff will continue to monitor and potentially fill the final scholarship spot.

Bottom Line

Delalic’s commitment gives Pitt a seasoned player capable of contributing immediately, potentially providing the edge needed to replace key departures and elevating the team’s overall prospects for the next season.
