Rippy picks Pitt

Sto-Rox linebacker Deaysean Rippy made a verbal commitment to Pitt tonight, according to his coach, Ron Butschle. His final choices were Pitt and West Virginia. He had crossed Arizona off his list a few days ago.

Rippy was a Post-Gazette Fabulous 22 pick. Butschle said Rippy was 50-50 on Pitt and West Virginia even until yesterday.
