Highlight Tape Smorgasbord (RBs)

When it comes to recruiting, its easy to fall into the trap of believing the hype/star system of whichever service you’re reading at that moment. 7 stars this, 3.9 second 40 that. In the end, it’s not worth too much — just ask Osa Nosa (or me, who will bitch about Osa Nosa).
Instead, [...]

Memorial Day Got The Best Of Us

We’ll be taking a day or two to recover from our extended weekend.  Our apologies, but our livers need the rest.

Yeah…It’s THAT Good

“The 25314,” I ask myself, “you sexy, good looking zip code, I know Devin Ebanks gives West Virginia a solid recruiting class, but how good is it?” 
Well, recruiting rankings are out for the classes of 2008, and West Virginia – the place to which John Beilein swore you could not recruit – is ranked fourth in the [...]

It’s Been Nice Knowing You, Joe

The draft order is set and ESPN guru Chad Ford has released his first mock draft. In it, Joe Alexander is projected to go 13th to the Portland Trail Blazers. With this news, we can 99.99% bid adieu to the WVU career of Alexander — and that’s not a bad thing.
By going in [...]

Because We Can (…And It’s The Truth)

What They’re Saying About Ebanks

When you land a top 10 recruit in basketball, there’s going to be quite a bit written about landing said recruit, especially when he’s easily the highest rated player left on the board. Luckily, we’re here to catch you up on most of it…

Enough With The No-Name Recruits

Seriously, when is CBH going to start earning his money and recruit real players to Morgantown? Maybe it’s not possible, considering Beilein said it couldn’t be done.

Oh. Nevermind.
Devin Ebanks, a top 25 player (or top 10, depending on who you ask), has committed to the Mountaineers. Outside of [...]

Devin Ebanks Commits to Mountaineers

…or in other words, our recruiting class just went from top 25 to top 10.
If (and hopefully when) Joe Alexander returns for his senior season, CBH will have some tough decisions on coming up with a starting lineup.  That lineup, whatever he decides, will include Devin Ebanks.
We will have more on this come Monday morning…

I Like Swimming With Bowlegged Women

I’ve only been gone a couple weeks and Mountaineer athletics have seemingly gone down the pooper. What the hell are y’all doing up there? Don’t make me come back up there and straighten you guys out.
Huggins does a face plant at the Charlotte airport. Keith Dewitt pulls his commitment from the 2009 [...]

Hey Gorgeous, Leave The WVU Stuff To Us

As a fellow beautiful person, I find it hard to mock Doug Smock. I mean, look at the guy. Just perfection. The flowing locks, the kept mustache, designer glasses, and that playful grin. The man simply has it going on.
So when Doug talks, usually I listen, but mostly I just gaze [...]

God, I Love The Internet

…and not in a Chris Hansen kind of way, either. But then again, I am looking at high schoolers’ MySpace pages, so I guess it’s pretty close.
These are screenshots from Caleb Porzel’s MySpace profile. Gee, I wonder what school he’ll be committing to?

Note: Here’s his Scout profile.

Fast Eddie Gets Deposed

If you have two and half hours to kill (get a job, hippie) and are interested in curling up by the fire for a nice read, might I suggest the Deposition of Ed Pastilong for the WVU Board of Governors v. Richard Rodriguez.
 

Huggy Bear Gets Some Honey

As everyone know – if you don’t know, you’re a terrorist and you should quit logging onto the interwebs from your cave – Bobby Huggins signed a lifetime contract last Friday, keeping him at WVU until his 65th birthday, and paying him an average of 1.5 million dollars a year.
 

Recruits Continue To Impress

At the latest NIKE camp in Chapel Hill this weekend, Logan Heastie, Tajh Boyd, and Dominik Davenport made huge impacts on the scouts in attendance.
In fact, Boyd’s stock might be rising as fast as anybody’s in the country, considering he has been named MVP of the last two camps he’s attended.
While the camp had a [...]

Garrison Proclaims “Mission Accomplished”

President Michael S. Garrison, standing proudly beside the mast of the USS West Virginia, announced today that WVU has prevailed in the war against the Heather Bresch scandal.
When asked exactly what had been accomplished, Garrison had no comment, except to say, “I still have a job.”
At least for now.
