Miller looking at Pitt transfer senior Ryan Luther 6'9 225 avg 12pts 10rebs a game. He only played in 10 games last year due to a foot injury, but was their leading scorer before he went out with injury. Luther would need to be granted a hardship waiver to receive a 5th year of eligibility, which is expected to happen.

Pitt went 0-18 without him in thier conference as he was out with injury. Check out his highlights below. He would be a really good addition.
Kid looks legit! Hope it works out
Well we got TD to get a 5th year, and only playing in 10 games should bode well for Luther and whatever school he transfers to.
He reminds me of a bigger/better Mark Tollefsen.
He fits the same boxes as MT, but he is taller and bigger (thicker) to handle playing inside.
I would like to see him in our offense with his ability to put it on the ground and make plays.
Go get him Miller!
If we could fill out our roster with a few remaining 4-Star recruits and experienced 4 or 5 year grad transfers like Luther we will be in great shape.
Luther visiting this weekend

There goes one of the 2-3 bigs we need to bring in for 2018!
Hope it is extra sunny in Tucson this weekend!
Nice shot from the outside, can get to the rim, can score around the rim, hustles back on defense, would add some maturity to a young team. Looks like a great fit.
Reminds me of Ryan Anderson, maybe a better shooter, though. I hope we land him. I do have concerns with his foot. Seems to be a significant, reoccurring issue. We really really need at LEAST 2 big men. Preferably 2 that can contribute immediately and maybe 1 or 2 that can at least contribute in practice until they are developed enough to contribute in games.

Contribute immediately:
Jeter
Brown
Luther
Plus any other grad transfer(s)
Developmental projects:
Lee
Kisunas
Miller really only plays 3-4 bigs in a game, mainly three, and the fourth is a spot minutes guy.
Jeter/Brown plus one or more grad transfers would solidify our rotation of bigs.
Getting the guys that are going to get spot minutes or redshirt is the hardest part at times.
I think my layout would be accurate, and we would bump Lee up to that 4th spot if we only had those three.

Sounds right to me. Just gotta land Brown and Luther!

True.
I believe with each commit we get, the rest are going to see how the team is taking shape, and be more interested in coming.
At least I hope so..
