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

Will Grier enrolled at West Virginia University Monday, and he’s back in classroom after taking the spring semester off following his departure from the University of Florida. He’ll sit out the 2016 season, and we don’t yet know if he’ll be allowed to start the 2017 opener or if the NCAA’s year-long suspension will resume and extend to cover the first six games of that season.

What we do know? The Mountaineers can thank a pair of spontaneous trips and some serendipitous seating for Grier and Clint Trickett becoming friends and for Trickett counseling the QB-in-waiting before, during and presumably after the transfer process. “West Virginia got lucky with him,” Trickett said.
