Believe it or not, recruiting classes are not finalized on National Signing Day. What started Wednesday ends April 1 and when last week’s list of signings arrived, it showed 23 names. With the limit of 25 not far away, WVU was working (at least) three other prospects. One, a receiver named Martavious Odoms, is off the list and has signed elsewhere … and I’ll give you one guess where he’s headed.

The other two are all but set. Terence Kerns, a 6-1, 235-pound running backfrom Frederick, Md. Kerns signed Wednesdayat Hargrave (Va.) Military Academy, but since he’s at a preparatory school, his letter needs the signature of a guardian. So once the letter goes from Virginia to Maryland, it’ll arrive in West Virginia and be announced by the football program.

The second player is Benji Kemoeatu, a mammoth offensive lineman who also said Wednesday he’d signat WVU.  His letter is also taking time to arrive, but the Mountaineers expect to receive it shortly.

When both signatures arrive, WVU then has a full class of 25 recruits — and that’s not the end of it. Academics might claim a few players and others might grayshirt — defer enrollment until January and count toward the next class — so the Mountaineers will work to find a few more players worth of filling the vacancies.

In case you’re wondering, the dismissal of three players last week doesn’t change anything for the recruiting class. The limit is still 25 players and the only thing different now is WVU will have three more scholarships available for the current roster at the end of the semester.
