well
guys thanks for the congrats on my mountaineers landing gwaltney
there have been a few on here who run their mouths a bit, no biggy we all have them..but if you are going to cut on a state, at least come up with something more original than toothless, inbred, rednecks and the like, it is way overplayed much like a crack streetwhore on 33 downtown columbus..
and there is plenty to do in morgantown, you just have to know where to look
usc isn't in that bad of shape for rb's, the next class 2006..they have moline coming in and if you know anything about moline he is a beast as well
on the very first page i told you a bit about gwaltney, wvu started the process when he was a freshman, we told his coach that jason had a scholarship waiting on him when the time came, one of his best friends in high school is the younger brother of a former wvu wr and they all 3 talk wv all of the time, he has seen and talked to amos zereoue one of the long island rb's whose records he shattered, he has talked to the other former wvu rb's cobourne, wilson, harris, zereoue..his father also likes wvu and has told jason that if you want to get into the nfl wvu has put a lot of backs in the nfl
he will be able to gain yards in our scheme, we haven't been in the top 10 rushing in the last years for nothing,
and we are ecstatic to be gaining gwaltney
the other rb's which we got, ovid a 3 star rb will be a lb, jetavious best will be a slot wr kr/ pr, steve slaton will get a shot at rb as well, just because you played a position in high school doesn't always mean that is what you will play in college you guys should know that, and besides we were going after the best athletes we could get, and those are often either the qb, rb, or wr
good luck to the bucks next year, hopefully nothing drastic comes out of the clouds above columbus

Yeah, maybe, but both Collington and Slaton committed after Gwaltney backed out of his commitment and basically said that he was not going to WVU under any circumstances. I'd bet that neither of them is too happy right now. But hey, I'm sure you'll find room for them all somewhere.... |

West Virginia landed Brandon Barett over us... last year I believe? That's the only guy that I can think of that we really wanted and lost to WVU |

I believe there were grade issues with that one...tOSU wanted him badly, but he would not have passed Admissions.

I wish JG well......but he played SC and OSU so bad.....he even let PC know last night he was still going to SC......He was having fun with the sites, fine...but to do that to coaches is wrong.....
BTW, the comment where PC said he was making a mistake....he was making a mistake.....WVU did some serious negative recruiting toward SC and OSU....He said he was making a mistake because he told PC he was coming yesterday....He chose a school that is terrible when it comes to the books and a 2nd rate program......WHY, because WVU made him think USC and OSU weren't good schools ect......
Just my opinion, it's not sour grapes, it's just the negative recruiting is getting old. |

well
brandon barrett may end up being more trouble than what he is worth
getting caught with some weed and what not, so you guys really didn't lose out anything on him, truth is not a whole lot of people at morgantown are even sure he will be doing anything at all

Grad is correct - Barrett wanted to go to OSU, but the Bucks pulled out (wouldn't return his calls, etc.). |

Wstripes, thanks for your input throughout this year's recruiting sagas. I think in this case, you and others were misled just as HH was during McCoy's recruitment. I don't think there was any ill intent on the part of Jason. It is just tough sometimes for young men like him to say no to someone that he had obviously formed a strong bond and gained respect for. I think Nevada was right on is stating no one could be certain of the decision until it was announced.
How do you think this impacts SC's depth at RB? I've heard that it is not a given that Washington plays next season. So you guys are basically left with White and Bush. Both may leave after next season, and that really puts SC in a tough spot. Do you have any objections to SC's philosophy of targeting this one or two elite guys (first Wells, then Gwaltney) and no one else?
