Mike White @mwhiteburgh16mHampton basketball star Ryan Luther committed to Pitt a short while ago tonight. #Pitt #WPIAL From all of his comments about Pitt being his dream school, I am not surprised Ryan picked Pitt. It will be interesting to see where Colin lands. Maybe there will be Luther's on the opposite sides of the City Game. I have to wonder if we are still in the running for Elijah Minnie and Ryan Skovranko. Both have received interest and offers from BCS schools. There was some talk at one time by Minnie of a package deal. It will be interesting to see where the Dukes go from this point in recruiting. I know they spent a lot of time and resources on Luther, but always have options. Although Dayton and GW were also involved earlier, my understanding is that it finally came down to Duquesne and Pitt. A few years of winning will make us more of an option for better players; but it's tough now based upon last years record. You never know how these kids will develop anyway; so maybe another guy gets the scholarship who becomes a better player down the road. Guys like Luther haven't really fit into Dixon's style at Pitt, so we will see if he made the right choice. Last edited by levon1975 (10/25/2013 12:14 pm) I wonder if this is correct. I thought we offered both and would take either. Article on Luther's decision I wonder if this is correct. I thought we offered both and would take either. Colin must be a couple steps behind his brother is it was an "all or none" proposal; The fact that Ryan Luther committed to Pitt isn't the least bit surprising to me. This is not surprising. I am very underwhelmed with Ferry's recruiting and I think this program will have a difficult time winning double figures this season.

Looks like it was indeed a package deal.
