Despite changes, Ryan Luther never considered transferring from Pitt basketball

Pittsburgh Sports Now had a good interview up with Pitt basketball player Ryan Luther. The forward/center said that, despite all of the changes and uncertainty about this year, transferring wasn't an option to him:

He also wants to make something else clear. The decision-making processes that led to five of his teammates transferring never entered his mind. Not for a minute.

"No," he said bluntly when asked if he ever considered transferring. "When I chose to come here to Pitt, it was for a lot of reasons, it wasn’t just one. I made a commitment and I’m sticking to it. … It’s my last go around. Especially being from here. I wanted to leave it all out there and have no regrets."

Luther surely would have had offers elsewhere had he wanted to leave, so it's not as if he had no choice in the matter.

His words about making a commitment and sticking to it are interesting. Was that an indirect shot at other players that decided to bail on the team? Beats me, but given the Cam Johnson departure, especially, those words are sure to make people think about that.

Luther's also in line for a lot of fan support for sticking out what could be a really challenging year. I have no doubt that fans will remember his commitment and that it will be drummed up quite a bit during many of Pitt's broadcasts, as well it should. That kid deserves a lot of credit for sticking around and one good thing is that he should have plenty of opportunity to showcase his abilities on such a young team where he is, by far, the most experienced player returning.
