NC doesn’t have great talent overall for as big and populated as it is. I don’t see why we keep wasting time, resources recruiting NC.
Kennedy McCoy is the best player we ever landed from N.C. and he is 4th string RB with no pro future. Very average at best.
NC has failed WVU. Move on.
Dante Thomas Williams lol

Will Grier was a transfer not a high school recruit. He only left Florida cause he had to.
NC has been a waste for 15 years. We have basically landed almost nothing in 15 years.
Dante Thomas Williams was the biggest recruit from N.C. He was terrible when he got to D1. Too slow. Just a thug from dirty Durham.

All of WVU's hopes and dreams in 2017 and 2018 have rested on the shoulders of a North Carolina native.
I remember a middle line backer just a few years ago for us from NC that was a great player.....
Serious question, Grad. You guys are a national contender. Why aren't there a bunch of WV kids on your roster?
healthy Jared Barber > our current MLB by a mile.
I would like to take a minute to thank everyone that shared information as to why this linebacker decided to decommit.
However, the comments that serve to insult players and recruits from North Carolina are plainly out of line. That type of low class comment certainly does not help WVU's recruiting.

Yes and he's been banned about 6 times from multiple sites because he's an immature and racist person.
Slim blue chip pickings in West Virginia until very recently. Good offensive linemen are coming out of the Huntington area soon, so this has changed a little, but can you imagine a WVU roster with nothing, but West Virginia high school graduates? With whom would you replace Grier, Jennings, Sills, Simms, Long, etc.? West Virginia is able to compete in a big boy conference because of its ability to find diamonds in the rough from Ohio, PA, GA, NC, etc., and lasso some good graduate and JUCO transfers.
WVU signs two or three 4 stars a year and everything else is player development, juco, grad transfer, and walkons. Its about over turning every rock possible to find players
OSUgrad we don’t get players from NC much. NC has never been a state WVU recruits talent from. Maybe 3-4 players from NC in last 50 years have actually played at WVU. Maybe 1-2 starters ever. Will Grier was a fluke transfer. He got in trouble at Florida. He was not a recruit straight out of high school for WVU.
Jarred Barber was injured constantly and was not a real starter. He was a often injured backup. Only time he started was because we had a bad defense or someone was hurt.
Talent in WV is on rise and has always been underatted.

Just within last 8 years:
Will Grier. N.C.
Kennedy McCoy. N.C.
Jared Barber. N.C.
Dorrell Jalloh. N.C.
Bryce Wheaton N.C.
but most are within last years.
Bottom line is staff needs to find and bri g in talented players who will help wvu win. Who cares where they are from. Reality is that recruiting to wvu requires a wide geographic area.

Dorrell Jalloh played at WVU from 2004-2008. He was first NC boy and didn’t do much. Jared Barber was 2011-2015 and was not a stud. He was always injured too. McCoy is most recent that’s played and is 4th string RB when Sinkfield is 100% healthy. McCoy is average RB at best and he’s the best NC kid we ever landed as a high school recruit. Wheaton isn’t ready and has not stood out yet. Dante Thomas Williams was epic bust. Too slow.
Grier is not a traditional high school recruit we are talking about. He is a transfer that had to leave Florida.
Bottom line is that NC has failed WVU for 15 years. WVU isn’t going to find too many good leftovers in NC.

Is 304 still leaving his kid with random strangers so he can hop the fence to watch closed HS practices?
That was the definitive moment in his legendary career on this board.

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT HE IS!!! Here's the scoop...
Hops a train, jumps over a fence, watches a kid throw an end over end "spiral"....analysis..."he's the real deal"
Pride just stop. We get it, you're the only pizza delivery guy with a pedigree for college athletes. AND I know you deliver pizzas because your mental ability suggests you couldn't be more.
Lol haaaahaaaaa look how bad that N.C. list is in 15 years. We have failed badly in a state that never even has good D1 football. I mean why go after ACC loser leftovers in a state like N.C. Don Nehlen 1980s teams and 1993 never had any N.C. leftover losers. It was south Florida and mostly boys from PA, OH, WV, NJ, MD, VA, NY......tough northern boys.
NC recruiting from WVU is quite sad to watch. Why go after leftovers in that crappy overhyped state.

We get leftovers in just about every state we go into but not really sure why we are hyped about NC recruiting is a true statement. We need a verbal from the NG from Fairmont. If we can sure up our Dline recruitment that is a huge step. Next we need to figure linebacker recruitment.
That’s why I’M not so concerned about kpogba, IMHO Bartlett is the real deal and will be D. Long 2.0.
it's funny that Jared Barber never played....... yet in his first two years, he tallied 57 tackles....... as a backup. In only 19 games
yet our starting middle linebacker has been a 2-year starter and sits only with 63 through 16 games

Just don't, Keaton. Guy has mental issues. Typical blinded homer. OSUgrad literally said its slim pickens for blue chips in WV, but Pride swears you can build a national contender in both basketball and football from instate kids alone.
Very similar to Vernon allowing retarded NC 'leftovers' be part of a great web site knowing all the while that they are out of their element and will contribute noting positive or intelligent to the web sits.
Never said recruit all in state. Why do you keep saying that? Pratt you clearly are slow in the head. I said recruit more WV than what we get. That will fix depth issues and make us better.
NC leftovers are dopes. Flat out stiffs. Why even waste time recruiting that overatted state. ACC leftovers will waste scholarships and flop out. NC teams can’t even win. They all suck. It’s not good if NC State is your top team in NC. Pathetic.

I know. I mean with Will Grier and Kennedy Mcoy I am not sure why we would recruit NC.
