In what qualifies as great, if not unsurprising, news for WVU football, Noel and Jock confirmed Thursday they are not entering the NFL Draft and are coming back to school … on a mission.

Lots of useful quotes in there that, quite honestly, reflect very well on WVU and at a most opportune time in the recruiting cycle. Not only are we getting closer to the Feb. 3 signing date, but Thursday was the last day of a dead period and Friday is the first day of a two-day quiet period. The Mountaineers, meanwhile, steal the headlines with their news and player reviews.
