Yates originally told me he didn't know what to think and was confused over the whole situation but he just sent me this text. "Mannnnnnn, I'm not going anywhere I'm here to stay."
"We were all caught off guard because everything was fine and then New Years Eve we started hearing speculation so we were confused because when we went on the visit he said he wasn't going anywhere. I sat and thought to myself what would I do when he leaves and boom he's gone and now everything goes crazy. My parents told me there was a reason you chose West Virginia and its not just the coaches. So then I knew leaving wasn't the right choice and I'm already connected to this school."
