PITTSBURGH — The Pitt Panthers women’s basketball continues to make progress in recruiting and is currently working to land the services of one guard in a future class.

Ava Miles, a Class of 2026 guard who plays for Staley High School in Kansas City, Mo., is a player that the Panthers have continued contact with over the summer, according to Talia Goodman of On3. Pitt offered her back on June 11, 2023, but still have yet to bring her in for a visit.

“It’s been pretty good with them,” Miles said to Goodman. “It’s just like a get-to-know-you talk. Kind of just like ‘How’s your day going?’ and giving me information about their school, which I like a lot.”

Miles has taken visits to Big 12 schools in Kansas and Kansas State, Big Ten schools in Iowa, Nebraska and USC, plus Creighton and Missouri. She told Goodman that Pitt and Nebraska, plus Virginia Tech and Washington are the schools most recently in contact with her. She will schedule visits to Virginia Tech and Washington in the future.

She also holds offers from ACC schools in Cal, Clemson, Louisvillie and SMU, Big Ten schools in Maryland, Michigan State and Penn State, plus Auburn, Harvard, Marquette, Oklahoma State, UNLV and Wichita State

Miles is a highly rated player in the Class of 2026, with ESPN ranking her as a four-star and No. 52 in the country. She also plays for Della Lamb on the Adidas 3SSB Circuit.

She plays great defense, using her long wingspan to poke out balls for steals, while also using her speed and athleticism to drive to the hoop for baskets. She has great vision, finding her teammates for scoring opportunites, and also will pull-up from both mid-range and behind the arc.

Pitt has one recruit in the Class of 2025 so far in Macie Arzner,who plays for McMinniville High School in McMinniville, Ore. They also recently landed in the top five schools for a Class of 2025 guard in Isis Johnson-Musah from Detroit, who would greatly improve the program if they secured her services.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Guardians and Diamondbacks will play a doubleheader beginning at 1:10 p.m. on Wednesday after rain and severe weather forced the postponement of Tuesday’s regularly-scheduled matchup.

Gates will open at 12:10 p.m. ET and only fans with tickets to the originally scheduled August 7 contest will be able to attend the traditional twin bill.

Fans will be able to use the full value of their August 6 (Tuesday) tickets in the Guardians My Tickets account when exchanging into one of eight designated games, including Wednesday’s doubleheader.

Tickets for Tuesday’s game must be exchanged by 5 p.m. on Aug. 30.

Heavy storms moved through downtown Cleveland several hours before the scheduled first pitch, and the threat of more rain forced officials to eventually postpone Tuesday’s game.

Guardians players and coaches were taking infield practice just before 4 p.m. when grounds crew members pulled the tarp across the field and ballpark workers were instructed via the public address system to seek shelter below the main concourse.

According to the National Weather Service, conditions that could potentially produce a tornado were spotted in the area including wind gusts in excess of 60 mph. An announcement that the game would officially begin in a delay was made at 5:48 p.m. Officials postponed the contest at 8:15 p.m.

Right-hander Ben Lively (10-6, 3.42) will start Wednesday’s first game for Cleveland. Righty Carlos Carrasco (3-9, 5.53) will start game two.

Arizona will send righty Brandon Pfaadt (5-6, 3.97) to the mound in game. Lefty Eduardo Rodriguez, who signed a four-year, $80 million contract with Arizona in the offseason, will make his season debut for the Diamondbacks in game two.

Cleveland optioned Monday’s starting pitcher, Logan Allen, back to Triple-A on Tuesday afternoon, selecting the contract of LHP Anthony Gose from Columbus and designating righty Xzavion Curry for assignment.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – According to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, they currently have no power due to the storms that ripped through the area. Please check your flight status before you make your way out there.

There are nearly 250,000 people without power in Northeast Ohio.
