4-star SG Anthony Felesi reportedly decommits from Pitt Panthers

Orem (Utah) Utah Prep four-star shooting guard Anthony Felesi has decommitted from Pitt, according to DraftExpress’ Jonathan Givony.

The 6-foot-5, 200-pounder committed to Jeff Capel and the Panthers on Oct. 27 and signed with the ACC program the following month. It was announced last month that Capel was returning to Pitt for his ninth season, but Felesi is now reportedly looking elsewhere despite signing.

Felesi is the No. 40 overall prospect and No. 11 SG in the 2026 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 1 recruit in Utah.

The blue-chipper is one of three Pitt signees this cycle. The Panthers entered April with a top-15 class, per the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings.

“I believe that it was a great decision, and I feel great about it. I feel blessed and can’t wait to get to Pittsburgh and make some things happen,” Felesi told Pittsburgh Sports Now upon making his commitment in October.

“I believe that Coach Capel and I can make history at Pitt. Coach Capel sees me as a 10-year NBA player and that’s my dream and goal, play in the NBA.”

Felesi’s potential departure leaves Pitt with IMG Academy (Fla.) four-star power forward Chase Foster and IMG Academy four-star SG Jermal Jones Jr. in its 2026 haul. Foster is the No. 33 recruit in the cycle, while Jones Jr. checks in at No. 113 overall.

Pitt beat out BYU, UCLA, USC and San Diego State for Felesi this fall. He played for the same Utah Prep program that had AJ Dybantsa last year. He previously played for Orem High, also in Utah.
