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

Catch-pass combo?

(Edit: Something’s up with the blog. I can’t embed videos, and you’ll see that all the old Hudl video are gone. Here are some Sam James highlights.)

West Virginia’s frenzied recruiting season merely paused for the weekend and the holiday, but it’s possible it picks up again here soon. One of the team’s top remaining targets is Sam James, another receiver, and he’s going announce his plan on Friday.

The coveted wide receiver trimmed his list of over a dozen schools down to just four, including West Virginia, Mississippi State and Cincinnati. Those three schools are considered the serious contenders at the moment, with each program feeling confident in their chances.

James recently visited Morgantown, camping in front of the coaching staff and wowing everyone in attendance. The 247Sports three-star recruit was equally impressed with what WVU had to offer, getting first-class treatment from the staff, including a personal ride on Dana Holgorsen’s golf cart and a tour of the facilities.

Key detail with the golf cart there. Who’s throwing James passes? Well, if he picks the Mountaineers, it’s possible he’ll be paired with Woodrow Lowe, who we’ve met before. He hasn’t said when he’ll pick his school, but it could be any day now, and he’s down to WVU, Illinois and Arkansas State, but note that “a couple other programs have offered him the opportunity to play baseball in college, as well.”
