Some WVU News

I guess there is a movement going on around town that may need a little support. There is a petition ongoing to name the Press Box at WVU after Jack Fleming and they are asking everyone for support. There is an article written about it by on WVMETRONEWS.com for anyone who may like to have a little more information.

There is news on both the Football and basketball recruiting fronts. Bill Stewart signed three more prospects to the 2008 recruiting class when he received official letter of intents from Devon Lyons (former starter at Ohio State and older brother of WVU receiver Wes Lyons), Benji Kemoeatu who is listed as the State of Hawaii's best prospect and has two older brothers playing in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers and Mark Rodgers, a very fast running back out of California who also happens to be rap mega star Snoop Dogg's cousin. So two guys battling for the top running back next year will be someone Deion Sanders wanted to adopt (Devine) and Snoop's cousin (Rodgers). We might be seeing a few famous faces around town the next few years.

On the basketball recuiting front, Bob Huggins is recruiting High School All-American and former Indiana top recruit Devin Ebanks now that he has been released from his LOI at Indiana. Us and Memphis are believed to be the top two for his services. I have said for years, Bob Huggins is the best recruiter in the game. His top recruit last season at Kansas State is going to be the top pick in the NBA draft this year. If he signs Ebanks, this will give him two All-Americans in this, his first real class at WVU.
