Hope he can share some of what makes that WVU offense tick. Glad to have him on board.
Alright, anyone have any updates? Maybe just a quick reference to who in our commit list is showing out.
J Jones looked pretty good in his recent Hudl video. The question I have, is why are we not considering this guy for WR? It's like Marcus Murphy. Dude needs the ball in his hands.

I'm sure we're still trying but I don't expect anything to come from it.Quote:

How bout Hubbard??? We in or out? Committing this weekend, right?
State people believe we get him. VA people believe they're getting him. I've got a friend that works at VA and he says Hubbard has visited several times. I'm concerned because of that. Really, only the distance is the concern.Quote:

I think Gray comes back around after the season starts and he sees what he can be a part of here. This season is going to open so many more doors that State has had a problem of opening before.
I read it more like we would have loved to have had Emery and maybe a miracle still happens but they like what they have and have returning enough that finding another lead back isn't a MUST for this class. You always want to sign one with that potential, but there don't appear to be a ton of guys in Huff's style in our recruiting area. We'll sign a good back and still might get a great one, but there's no panic that it's do or die in this class.Quote:

seem like every now and then Bamer will split RB time and both end up getting drafted. no?Quote:

We will sign a RB this year. My whole point of the post was that Huff still felt good about the RB board. That's the reason you haven't seen us go out & offer a ton of new guys. To my knowledge we've offered 1 RB since Emery committed.Quote:

Virginia is closer but not really close. It's still over 6 hours away.Quote:

I want Hubbard, Ike and that kid from St. Joseph. That would be ideal anyway.
