Elijah Pittman, a 6'7, 210 lbs, power forward from Lamar State College (JUCO, Texas) has verbally committed to Marshall University.

Lacking the grades to qualify at a division one school Pittman committed to Chipola College (JUCO, Florida). Pittman planned to attend WVU after his time at Chipola.
While at Chipola Pittman was arrested for misdemeanor possession of marijuana and sentenced to probation. Pittman violated the terms of his probation which lead to a six month jail sentence.

After leaving jail Pittman enrolled at Lamar State College where he will play one season before transferring to Marshall. Besides Marshall, Pittman also had a scholarship offer from Southern Mississippi.
