Pittsburgh pulled off a huge recruiting coup to start the ACC in fall 2013 when Central Michigan guard Trey Zeigler chose the Panthers over Duke and UCLA on Saturday.

Former Central Michigan coach Ernie Zeigler told ESPN.com on Saturday his 6-foot-5 son will play for his former colleague Jamie Dixon at Pitt.

Zeigler and Dixon were assistants together under Ben Howland at Pitt. Ernie then followed Howland to UCLA.
