The Charleston (WV) Gazette

There are at least four viable candidates interested in West Virginia. Four very highly rated candidates.
Like speedster Jaamal Berry of Palmetto (Fla.) High.
Berry is recognized as the best tailback prospect in south Florida at 5-foot-11, 185 pounds. He has 25 to 30 offers from schools like Florida, Florida State and LSU. But WVU is also in there pitching.
"West Virginia was down the third or fourth day of spring drills," said Berry's high school coach, Larry Coffey. "[The Mountaineer coaches] have as much of a shot as anybody. They just have to present themselves well to him. He's open.''
Coffey certainly won't shut the door on Stewart. See, the Palmetto coach is a West Virginia Conference legend. He rushed for 3,035 yards for West Virginia Wesleyan and was all-conference in 1978, '79 and '80. He's a member of the Wesleyan athletic hall of fame.
