Jonas dropped about two feet of snow on the West Virginia campus over the weekend, and it was the penultimate weekend of the recruiting calendar. The Mountaineers, of course, had some things planned, welcomed a few visitors and even received some good news in the form of two commitments.

The better news, it could be argued, is that some people couldn’t travel, and Brendan Ferns and Kyzir White couldn’t visit Penn State and both have visits planned this weekend for WVU.

As for those who did make it into town, if the fact West Virginia picked up two commitments Saturday didn’t give it away, the snow may have actually helped matters. Prospects were still able to get along, but with most businesses and other events shut down for the weekend, recruits spent more time bonding with each other, with future teammates and with the students. The impact was obvious.

“It was really cool to be among the students and just have fun,” said Adam Hensley, a linebacker commit from Centerville (Ohio). “Everyone was sledding and hanging outside and doing all this cool stuff. Just building relationships with the commits was great. It felt like I’ve known them for a long time. We just talked, connected and clicked. There was nothing awkward.”

One didn’t have to be committed to enjoy the camaraderie, either. Globe Institute (New York) cornerback Mike Daniels — the lone player who left the weekend uncommitted — felt it, too.

“The snow was hectic, but it was still fun,” he said. “We still managed to have some fun out here. It’s a great town, great people.”
