[QUOTE="Brookecountyeer, post: 129954785, member: 1118371"] Overall I am very optimistic about our recruiting now and in the future. We typically end up in the 30s overall for recruiting and I believe that our coaching staff typically out-performs the ranking by coaching up the recruits or finding diamonds in the rough. I don't know how JUCO or transfers play into the ranking system but I like our potential offense a lot and our defense should surprise people. Right now we have: -two former 4* QBs (Grier and Allison) -4* RB (Leddie Brown) -3* O'Laughlin, Gmitner, Allen, and Williams Our future looks bright for recruiting this year and beyond. The guys listed below have not yet committed, but we are in their final cuts or are considered by many recruiting sites as leaning towards WVU: - 4* Stills, Raines -3* Lowe, James, Ivy, Ezedzu, Porter, and (5) 3* corners Doug Belk has been putting us into the Georgia hotbed of recruiting which we have never been into before. That area is loaded with talent. Although we lost some momentum in Florida when Seider left, we still have offers there. Holgs has the rest of the recruiters covering the major areas such as Western PA, Columbus, Florida, and the DMV. Recruiting rankings are a nice start IMO to figure out trends but I prefer to look at wins and losses after the season. 10 was nothing to scoff at, let's make it 11+ this year. LGM [/QUOTE]
