Head Coach Bob Rukavina and the Pitt-Johnstown men's basketball program have added three recruits for the 2019-20 season, including Johnson & Wales (R.I.) University transfer Donovian Maxfield.
 
         "I feel that we did a good job of solidifying our backcourt with our three newcomers," Coach Rukavina said.  "In addition to getting Drew Magestro, the 2017-18 PSAC West Freshman of the year, back from injury, each one of these guys fit in nicely with what we want to do, both offensively and defensively."
                Donovian Maxfield transferred to Pitt-Johnstown prior to the 2019-20 season after playing two seasons for Coach Jamie Benton at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island.  Maxfield, who help lead Johnson & Wales to a Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Championship in 2017-18, hit seven 3-pointers and scored a career-high 23 points against Colby-Sawyer (NH) College.  Maxfield, a two-time member of the Dean's List, also scored 21 points against Saint Joseph (CT) College, which was led by legendary coach Jim Calhoun.
         Maxfield was a four-year letterman in basketball and teammate of current Mountain Cat point guard Fred Mulbah and Pitt-Johnstown recruit Austin Greene at Northeastern High School.  Maxfield was also on the Honor Roll all four years in high school.
         Maxfield was coached by Jon Eyster at Northeastern High School. 
         Maxfield is majoring in Finance at Pitt-Johnstown.
