[QUOTE="Vernon, post: 129830451, member: 1034769"] Released at 8:04 PM 2/4/17 Based on what I'm being told from sources close to the situation I expect WVU to hire Tony Dews to replace JaJuan Seider. As most of you know Dews has coached at WVU in the past and is currently on the Arizona staff coaching the receivers. Dews is well respected and those in the business feel he's a solid coach and excellent recruiter. He should really help WVU in the Maryland/DC and Northern Virginia areas. I hope to have more tonight on this hire and the Blue Adams situation. Below is his bio. [B]Tony Dews Profile[/B] In his fifth season with Arizona, Tony Dews coaches the Wildcat receivers. He was named to Rich Rodriguez’s staff on Dec. 7, 2011. In 2015, Cayleb Jones led a diverese receiving corps with 904 yards on 55 receptions, averaging 16.4 yards per catch. He along with Johnny Jackson, Nate Phillips, David Richards and Samajie Grant all racked up at least 30 catches for a passing attack that averaged 272.6 yards per game. Even distribution was the result of a successful 2014 for Dews’ receivers. Ten players had 10 or more receptions and seven ended the season with 20+ receptions. Ten scored at least one touchdown while six had multiple scores. Jones, a newcomer, paced the group with 1,019 yards and nine scores. He averaged 14.0 yards per catch and 72.8 yards per game. Playing for Dews for two seasons, Austin Hill ended his career with 150 receptions, 17 touchdowns and 2,305 yards. He hauled in a pass reception in 31-straight games played. In 2013, Arizona’s receivers accumulated 2,269 yards from 196 receptions to average 11.6 yards per catch. Arizona’s receiving corps was headlined by two true freshmen in 2013. Nate Phillips was named a Freshman All-America by the Football Writers’ Association of America and earned All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention honors.

He collected nine receptions and totaled 193 yards – the most ever by a true freshman in school history – in the AdvoCare V100 Bowl victory vs. Boston College. His yardage total is 11th-most in single-game history. Samajie Grant totaled 47 receptions for 373 yards and one touchdown.
