The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

Style matters Saturday

We spoke last week about quarterback recruiting after the TBA and it looks like fans don’t have to worry about the future of a football team led by a quarterback named Eugene. Turns out Eugene Smith goes by the name “Gino.” So says an early-morning e-mail from someone down that way who’d read the aforementioned post.

I don’t know how I feel about this.

Nevertheless, Gino — that needs to be the name on the back of his jersey — makes his official visit to Morgantown this weekend. The e-mail reports he’ll be coming with two superbly named teammates: receiver Stedman Bailey and offensive lineman Morel Pierre.

The three Miramar (Fla.) High players are coached by former WVU linebacker Damon Cogdell. What’s that mean? Not much, unless Gino, Stedman and Morel are really big on knowing shortcuts around campus before they arrive to learn them themselves.

Receiver Logan Heastie is scheduled to make an unofficial visit this weekend after making an official visit to the University of North Carolina last week. Perhaps its to discuss “Gino to Heastie” T-shirts.
