Fret not over Pitts and these other lost high-profile recruits. At least two of them -- if not more -- will become disillusioned and return to Marshall.
Stewart decommits and commits to LSU

- Start date
Thing is Pitts was the only one that had WVU in their Top 5. Plus he is walking into a great situation where he can see a ton of playing time early.
USPAM boards are in meltdown. Half hating on the kids, half hating on Drunkerson.
Overcoming delusion is a difficult thing. When you are told, and ACTUALLY BELIEVE that your program competes with the likes of LSU and Penn State for recruits and when you are told and ACTUALLY BELIEVE that your coach is some kind of super-genius snached from the hands of such great schools, the cold douche of reality is quite bitter.

Raised in WV watched HS sports for many, many years. Moved to metro ATL a few years ago and watch a lot of HS football down here. Georgia is #4 in D1 recruits and #4 in number of state natives on NFL rosters behind only CA, TX, and Fla. Truth is, the best player on your average WV HS team would have trouble getting on the field on some of these better programs down here. Besides that, the coaching at the top schools is unbelievable. That's why I don't lose a lot of sleep when a WV kid leaves. Sometimes I don't understand it, but for the most part the kid coming into the state for that scholarship from some of these other places is more athletic, better coached, and ready to contribute sooner. JMO.
I used to do radio play by play for Merritt Island, HS in Florida. Seeing all the talent there was day and night from having broadcast football in WV for years. A real eye opener. I remember one year Merritt Island was playing Ocala Vanguard. There were over a dozen seniors on the two teams that went on to play division 1 football the next year including Daunte Culpepper.
Yep. All of the schools are huge. Many 3,000+ students and there is one after another. The population of our county is around 900,000. One of the local schools had 15 D1 recruits two years ago and probably 10-12 more last year. Send them everywhere.
We wish Stewart well. He's got all the tools. SEC West Top 3 schools are all NFL caliber players and by stats alone this young man looks like an NFL prospect.
If things go sour, he's always welcome back to WVs best D1 school, Marshall!
Right Her ditty?!?!
