Recruiting News: Blair Irvin
By MountaineerBob on Dec 7, 2007 in Recruiting
Blue & Gold News (Scouts) and Rivals are both reporting that 3 Star CornerBack Blair Irvin has committed. Seems we stole a great CB from Auburn. So not only did we kick their ass the other day in BBall, we yanked a kid to fill a position we desperately need next year. Apparently his buddy Ford is going to WVU and was a big influence in this decision. Who cares how we get ‘em, just get ‘em.
Despite the losing to PITT it seems WVU is still going to do well in the recruiting world this year. Currently Rivals has us ranked #30 and the next Big East team is PITT at #37. Great news considering PITT usually kicks our butts in recruiting.
Maybe news is floating around to kids considering WVU that Slaton and White are both staying for their last year to win that damn National Championship. For positions like this and other D spots (which we will be taking a big hit with so many graduating) that is a very attractive proposition. They stay, Devine gets more carries, the D getting a solid freshman class would make it hard for WVU not to be ranked top #5 preseason again next year. I’m sure they are telling prospects, “If you want to play a game in January, come to WVU, not PITT.” I’m sure that’s working.
WVU has 14 commits, of which 4 are 4-star and 6 are 3-star recruits. Also, we are still in the running for the Top Ranked 5-star QB Pryor, although I feel that if White stays one more year we’ll lose him. A talent like Pryor should play from day 1.

I hope Irwin and others considering WV read this. WV has gotten alot of bad press and I know we need, and will, set a few thing straight. Those who commit will never regret!

any speculation on white or slaton staying?

Nothing solid. The mock drafts are starting to come out for next year and only one has Slaton going in the first round. I don’t hear anyone talking about White leaving, just Slaton. I don’t think he’ll go if he doesn’t think he’ll go first or second round, but who knows.

Putting all the joking aside. This Jd Woods
that WVU just signed is the real thing. You will be hearing alot about him in your future.
My best frind is a H.S. coach in Naples area and has been telling me how good Woods is and that Pitt should go after him. Don’t let the 2 star rating fool you he is better than that.
You got a real bargan! and he is smart too.
