When Ashton Gibbs and Travon Woodall arrive at the Prudential Center in Newark for this weekend’s Legends Classic, they will be greeted by a slew of family, friends and former teammates anxious to watch them compete at the collegiate level.
This is, after all, a Garden State homecoming for the freshmen duo at Pittsburgh.
“I’m excited,” said Gibbs, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound shooting guard who starred at Seton Hall Prep in West Orange, N.J. “A lot of my family and friends are going to be there. Just to come back and play like 15 minutes away from my house is a special thing and I’m honored to do it.”
