.....Troy Lilly signed with WVU. What gives, every kid from that school in the last 20 yrs has gone to Marshall.
 
All walk-ons or not in the last 20 yrs from Woodrow Wilson have gone to Marshall. Bob Pruett High School.

No disrespect to the young man and I wish him well. The reality is that he won't see the field until his junior year.
 
congrats on the get! should keep you guys in contention for 7th place in the Big12...
 
I have trashed Dana for not taking WV kids so I am fair to all. A got a lot of grief from wvu fans for giving Dana beck so im keeping it honest.

What exactly was the point of this thread other than to stir the pot?

I was wondering why WW is no longer sending kids to Marshall? For almost 20 yrs every kid from WW has gone to Marshall?

Perhaps the kids decide which school they desire to attend, moron.
 
Something has changed because the coach at WW has pushed his kids to Marshall for years and considering this kid is the coaches son its even more interesting.
 
Why must something happen if we don't take a walkon??

Congrats a walkon picked WVU, what's the prize??
 
The Osborne kid, (QB) for Woodrow Wilson, will run scout team for at least (3) years. It's just not the type of (QB) Virginia Tech recruits. I'm sorry, and I'm not bashing. Their staff likes the dual-threat (QB's) particularly from the Tidewater area High Schools.
 
maybe it was because wVu spent A LOT of time texting the kid when they weren't supposed to...

WV, with notable exceptions, is one of the worst states for high school athletic talent. Yet it seems like many Marshall and WVU fans want their schools to take these kids over others at a detriment to their own team in the name of state pride or something.
 
Pruett recruited tons WV kids for teams. He proved that wrong.

The other side of thesis 7 kids from WV signed D1 this year and Marshall only got one kid.

Offered one, got one.
 
Damn if Pruett can do it, WV has now become a hotbed in HS football recruiting

11 in one year is an anomaly, granted schools like Miami Central usually have about 9-11 kids sign D1A LOIs and that's just 1 HS in Miami.

Why spend so much time recruiting 2 kids from WV when you can go to Miami, Atlanta, The DMV and see 100 kids
 
Yes...Lilly's dad is the coach....not sure Doc is even giving the state kids a chance.

I draw the line at posting BGN articles to try and get a rise out of people.

Consider this a warning. - Random

It's ok, once Dana gets fired like he will after this season, those kids will realize the mistake they made

Where did those other 6 go? Florida? Alabama? Buffalo? Eastern Michigan? If they went to shitty schools, it's probably better we didn't get any of them.
 
2 went to WVU
2 went to Charlotte
1 went to Kent State
1 went to Marshall
1 went to Maryland

And only 1 was offered by Marshall and we got him
 
hey 51 what are you talking about. You said, Pruett recruited tons WV kids for teams. He proved that wrong.

BP last 4 classes he averaged about 1-2 kids from WV yearly. BP last few years his recruiting was dismal and contributed to some of the issues we had during the MS years. Doc is certainly making room for homegrown kids he seems to be asking them to come as invited walk ons. With a few exceptions, there is no way to really evaluate wv kids. How can you know how well the 6-5' 290 lb ol will do when he has been pushing around 5'9" 235 lb kids all year? I hope you get the point. Van Horn and big cheese show that Doc is making room. Like others have said, spending time in south dade is working well.

So... we lost nothing by not getting them. Any kid that goes to any of those schools, except maybe WVU, I don't want any way. Not good enough to play here, so don't waste a roster spot on them.
