Khem Birch has decided to leave Pitt to transfer to another school.

Birch, a 6-foot-9 forward from Canada, was the highest rated recruit in Pitt history.

"I'm leaving," Birch told CBSSports.com on Friday night. "I'm headed to Toronto now. I enjoyed my time at Pittsburgh, I love Coach (Jamie) Dixon, had no problems with the staff and the players. It just wasn't the right fit for me."  

Birch's minutes decreased over the last couple of games. Birch averaged just 13.5 minutes over the last four games after playing 28.5 the previous two.
