Zeigler to leave Central Michigan for Pitt

Pittsburgh landed a talent basketball player for the fall of 2013 when Central Michigan guard Trey Zeigler chose the Panthers over Duke and UCLA.

Former Central Michigan coach Ernie Zeigler told ESPN.com that his son will play for Jamie Dixon at Pitt. Zeigler and Dixon were assistants together under Ben Howland at Pitt.

"He's with really good people at Pitt. He's back where me and Jamie started off."

Trey Zeigler averaged 16.3 points as a freshman and 15.8 points and 6.7 rebounds as a sophomore. He will sit out the 2012-13 season and have two seasons of eligibility left, his father told ESPN.com.
