Hi, I’m Mike. I used to run things around here until stepping away two weeks ago. I heard there was an accident last week and I was needed to restore order, so, hi, I’m Mike.

Anyhow, I’ve been back since Friday, earning ovations and scouring through a week’s worth of headlines. Surprisingly, it seems events were minimal when I was gone.

Bob Huggins sewed up his 2015 recruiting class by getting a commitment from Lamont West, a 6-foot-7 wing the Mountaineers were looking for to further diversify their attack. Last I heard before my exit was Louisville and St. John’s were making a move, so score one for WVU there.

The baseball team kind of righted its course and did enough in the weekend series against potent Texas Tech to win the first two games and reach the Big 12 tournament. The Mountaineers will play Oklahoma State Wednesday.

The biggest ordeal, I suppose, was college basketball’s push for new rules, and we’ll look at those a little later.

In the meantime, thanks to Mack for doing what he does. My gift to him: Voila.

And thanks to you all for keeping this place running while I was overseas. My gift to you: If you thought Kevin White had an unbelievable journey (® The Bachelorette), have a look at what Ka’Raun White did so that he could enroll at West Virginia today.

“I think Ka’Raun’s story is crazier than Kevin’s,” said Kyzir White, the youngest of the three brothers. “He didn’t play in high school. He wasn’t always a star player. He wasn’t even playing for a while. And look where he is now.”

Ka’Raun White is the only member of WVU’s 2015 recruiting class who will enroll in the first wave of summer classes that begin Monday, though the Mountaineers expect most to enroll next month. It wasn’t long ago when White wouldn’t have entertained this possibility. He was too busy working at McDonald’s — two years after graduating from high school.

White made all the sandwiches on the menu. He started at $7.25 an hour and earned a nickel raise during the four-plus years he spent under the golden arches. It was 2012, and Kevin was two grades older and making a splash as a redshirt sophomore at Lackawanna when Ka’Raun decided he wanted to be a college football player, too.

“His journey is the reason I continued to play,” Ka’Raun said. “I pretty much gave up on it at one point. But I was determined. I was seeing my brother do it, so I said, ‘I can do that, too.’ He’s the only reason why I gave this a chance.”
