Youngstown, Ohio, running back Braylon Heard told the West Virginia coaching staff on Tuesday that he plans to be a part of the 2010 football recruiting class.

A four-star prospect according to Rivals.com, Heard had scholarship offers from Pitt, Penn State, North Carolina State, Michigan State and Nebraska, among others.

Maryland-West Virginia just feels like a rivalry. It feels hot. Maybe it’s because West Virginia has been more successful than Virginia in football and poses a big challenge. I think it’s because both schools’ fans get amped up for each other. It doesn’t hurt that former standout tailback Steve Slaton vowed revenge for the Mountaineers after being rebuffed by Maryland, his original school of choice.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA Suck it PITT!

Another Pittsburgh wide receiver is in trouble.

Sophomore Jonathan Baldwin was charged with misdemeanor indecent assault, summary harrassment and summary disorderly conduct stemming from an alleged incident involving a female student on a bus, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported on Sunday.

When ESPN bracketology expert Joe Linardi released his brackets for the upcoming 2010 NCAA March Madness tournament, West Virginia was selected by the analyst as one of the four No. 2 seeds-to the surprise of many.

West Virginia University strong side linebacker Mortty Ivy signed on as a free agent to play for the Carolina Panthers.

this would suck so bad…. I would be forced to pull for the Patriots!
“The New England Patriots have been checking in on a number of versatile Draft prospects. Few have the position flexibility and playmaking ability of West Virgina’s Pat White.” (insider article)

White was an exciting quarterback but the college recruiters envisioned something different – a wide receiver, a cornerback, a tailback. He wound up committing to LSU to catch passes.

Only one major school had always seen him as a QB – West Virginia.

With your eyes closed, and with heels tapping, see in your mind’s eye the intriguing possibility of West Virginia’s Pat White in a Panthers uniform.

Unlike recent spring scrimmages, today’s work was done under game conditions with the No. 1s facing the No. 2s on both sides of the ball.

here is the excerpt from the article about Brown:

Brown must fill some seriously big shoes this season as he takes over for Pat White, the most prolific running quarterback in Division I-A history. Brown may not possess White’s elusiveness, but the senior-to-be is bigger (6-foot-4, 221 pounds) and has gained plenty of experience as a backup, throwing for 839 yards and five TDs and running for 671 yards and seven scores in 25 games. He’ll need to solidify himself as the same double-threat as White to take the pressure off speedy tailback Noel Devine.
