Pugh chose Pitt over a boatload of reported offers including Arizona, Arkansas, Auburn, Cincinnati, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Miami, Mississippi State, Missouri, Nebraska, Purdue, Syracuse, Temple, Virginia, Virginia Tech, and West Virginia. It became clear that Pugh only had three real contenders in Maryland, WVU, and Pitt with the last two being the main ones. It has been rumored for a while that Pugh was West Virginia bound due to being very close with former Quip Dravon Henry.
