Welcome to the Friday Feedback, which anticipates not one but two reunions Saturday. No. 11 WVU plays host to No. 21 Ohio State at 2 p.m. and the Buckeyes bring one of the country’s best players, Evan Turner, who happens to be tight with Da’Sean Butler.
“I think he’s a winner. Being around him this summer and seeing he does what it takes to win and how it’s fun playing with him and how much people like him, I definitely couldn’t wait for this. And I’ve heard his birthday is coming up (Jan. 25). I’ll have a present for him.”
That’s a well-intended jab. They were teammates and roommates for Team USA in the World University Games and both wanted Turner to be healthy after Turner broke two bones in his back Dec. 5. And Turner will be there Saturday, probably aiming at his third triple-double of the season.
And then there’s Hot Rod Hundley, whose number is to be retired at the game. Hundley wore 33 … which is what Casey Mitchell wears right now and will wear next year as well. He’ll be the 16th and final WVU player to wear it.
Onto the Feedback. As always, comments appear as posted. In other words, eh, nevermind.

If WVU had a clue they would recruit from American Samoa. From an island of just 65,000 people, there are more than 30 players of Samoan descent in the NFL and more than 200 playing Division I college ball.
Seriously, Casazza, I’ve never understood this nonsense you and your readers tout when it comes to WVU loyalty. You guys hate Rich’s guts and call him a traitor. Aren’t we all looking out for number 1? I reckon the Daily Mail will be your only employer and you will never leave it for a better opportunity, right?
Straightouttanorthcentral – “no longer fit to call himself a Mountaineer????” Really? Doing WV dirty???
Casazza you and your followers are naive.
Um, we’re naive?
