Let’s grab that bridle and back Mr. Ed up behind this here rickety cart. West Virginia is simply waiting on en emoji text from the NCAA to know for sure and then announce that Will Grier is eligible for the start of the 2017 season, and then our columnist says the countdown begins!

Yet one little warning: West Virginia fans should also mentally prepare themselves for the possibility Grier is a one-and-done QB in Morgantown.

The redshirt junior Florida transfer was a rising star in the SEC before his suspension from the NCAA. He was a four-star recruit that had very good numbers as a redshirt freshman and helped the Gators to a 6-0 start, including a nice rally against Tennessee.

These days, Florida coach Jim McElwain is having to explain why he allowed Grier to depart. Serious media “spin” is underway in Gainesville. But, in sum, the kid is talented. He’s playing a position the NFL seriously covets. Oh, and his Twitter account proudly displays his newborn child.

 You understand what I’m saying.
