By Farrell...Luke has offers from Pitt and WVU and thinks OSU and Wisconsin may be close to offering. Right now he favors Pitt and ND.

From the Pitt site...Pitt, Ohio State, Michigan, West Virginia, Purdue, Indiana, Virginia and Wisconsin have offered. He has been invited to Junior Days at Pitt, ND and OSU.

This offer comes as news...

Im surprised at this offer, I figured the next one to go out would be to and instate guy.

Just because it is being reported now does mean that is the order in which it was sent out...he may have gotten this offer weeks ago and this is the first update that has been done on him since then. None of the folks I talked to at other sites new anything about this offer either.

Scout lists him as a top 100 junior to watch and is on Rivals top 250 and has him listed as a DT...

I wonder if this is a DT offer, if in fact it is true...

Could be a tough sell with his brother already being at Pitt...

 

[wadc45]

I think he is primarily being recruited as both an OL and DT (probably what RIB was talking about)...I will change the thread title.

 

[cheetah]

He is considered more of a LT prospect and is easily in the top 10 in PA, if not top 5. But he is a VERY heavy Pitt lean. His coach is a former Pitt player that is very close to the Pitt staff and many Thomas Jefferson players go to Pitt, including Nix's younger brother. He has been at Pitt about a hundred times already and that's not even an exaggeration.

From the Pitt site...Lucas was at Pitt yesterday and visited with both the offensive and defensive line coaches.

maybe its just me but I love the fact that we are offering so many linemen this year. Seems like the net is getting cast pretty wide this year.

Why do kids with alot of other options even seriously look at Pitt? Is it solely because they are local? Pitt is a joke IMO, I really can't see why a kid who could play just about anywhere in his region and possibly in the nation would decide to go to Pitt.

The kid's brother is at Pitt...

i lived near there for many years, the school is pretty neat, and its located in a big city which makes for a decent scene.
