Ryan Luther brings shooting, experience and muscle to Arizona’s frontcourt

What are Ryan Luther’s strengths as a player? Well, let’s just start right there — his strength.

A graduate transfer from Pittsburgh, Luther recently bench-pressed 185 pounds 25 times, breaking the Arizona Wildcats’ record previously held by Talbott Denny.

“So we’re welcoming in a new player that I think can bring some things to the table to help us,” Arizona coach Sean Miller said of the fifth-year senior. “Strength and experience.”

Shooting, too. The 6-foot-9 forward was a career 41.5 percent 3-point marksman in four seasons with the Panthers. He has impressed his new UA teammates in drills, too.
