This 6 foot 5, 315 offensive lineman looks to have an immediate impact in 2012. He was recruited by offensive line coach, Bill Bedenbaugh. He is on track to graduate from Junior College in December thus making him eligible for spring football. It looks like the Western JUCO pipeline is starting to funnel players of need to WVU. PAC Ten/twelve schools Arizona and Oregon State were in his final three and he held offers from Rutgers, Louisville, Boise State, South Florida and Arizona State, among others. He felt that WVU was the better program and loves what the Mountaineers are doing right now.
I am excited that a ready-made player is in this class for the offensive line as it seems that this position is one that requires the most development. A plug and play guy in the interior next year will add immediate depth if not starting clout. Anyway, another good get for this impressive class of recruits.

Latu withdrew his verbal commit and switched to Auburn.
Yes Greg he was flipped. I would say the allure of a national championship is a hard sell to overcome. 17/18 year olds are fickle at best when it comes to commitment. I had on several other posts a disclaimer that the verbal is worth about as much as the paper they are signed on. LOL I am still very excited about the class as a whole. Tis a part of the recruiting game. More flips to come. Once the offense starts scoring obscene amounts of points the players will give us a good hard look. Stay tuned.
