Looks like hes leaning towards WVU, which will be great! He was almost a 5 star LB on this platform and a high 3 star and a 4star on others.... He originally committed to CUSE, but had to go to JUCO for 1 year, and now it looks like he may come to WVU with 4 yrs of eligbility!

Considering our need at LB, would be a great get! While his current ranking may not show up on the 22 class results, due to him being a JUCO transfer, its definitely a big get if we land him..

#EDIT He will have 2(maybe 3?) years of eligibility remaining

We have no line backers so he knows he plays from day 1.
Yeah, even if we land Lee, we still probably need at least 1 experienced/developed transfer with 2-3 yrs of eligibility. LB will def be a position the staff will need to resolve in the portal... Considering Cowan is now also transferring, we may need to take 2 developed transfers... 1 that can play ILB or OLB, and one for Bandit... Bartlett played ok this year, and will likely take another step forward this offseason, but Im not sure who else we have there...

You know I know a little bit about this kid. Great motor, set his schools record for sacks ended his career with about 60 of them. Hits like a truck great linear speed and can cover the pass. If he goes there it gives me a reason to visit family back in Greene County PA and catch a game, hit Crocketts for some wings and take home some peperoni rolls

I would like to get a serviceable qb in the portal. Any Ideas there? The Fresno state kid just entered the portal 32Td to 9 int this season. I don't know much about him otherwise. I saw an article about possible destinations for Rattler wvu was on the list. Problem is so was 15 other schools. The O line should be much improved next season so getting an upgrade at qb is critical going into next season.

Not really disappointed in losing Cowan. That targeting call in the K State game was flagrant and showed as high of a degree of stupidity as it gets. I heard he was a problem at Alabama as well. I am not opposed to giving players a 2nd chance but it needs to be clear that undisciplined play is not acceptable.

L. Dixon, J. Hammett, J. Bartlett, E. Loe, J. Faverus, D. Stevens?, J. Chandler? If the eligibility is right and no one else portals out between now and next year. We have already lost D. Washington and E Watkins to the portal. Loe & Dixon were both hurt at the end of this year.

You'll see several more portal out. It's the new wave of things to come.
