Recruitniks will remember Asa Chapman, who could have rivaled you-know-who status had he done things a little differently. Namely, prolong the recruiting process.

Chapman, as far as we knew, was anywhere from 6-foot-4 to 6-foot-7 and somewhere between 360 and 390 pounds, but with size-defying athleticism. Bill Stewart, who was eyeballing Chapman and Brad Starks at the same Orange County High, said so himself.

Trouble was, Chapman couldn’t get into a school. He signed with UVA, was denied admission, went to a prep school, had ties cut by UVA, signed with WVU, was charged with felonious malicious wounding, prepped again while he said WVU waited for the air to clear, was let loose again, had the charge dismissed and spent a bit of time in limbo.

He’ll finally arrive at WVU in a little more than two weeks. Chapman is the nose guard for Liberty and his legend lives on.

An Inside Look from the Coaching Staff: Has unique athletic ability … can do amazing things for a man his size … brings experience and power … gives the Flames solid size in the middle of its defensive line.
