WVU WR Hudson Clement transfers to Illinois
After entering the transfer portal last month, former West Virginia wide receiver Hudson Clement has found a new home at
WVSPORTS.COM WVU WR Hudson Clement transfers to Illinois
- Thread starter Vernon
- Start date
His parents are from Michigan. His mother was pregnant with him when they moved.
Everyone should remember this when a person posts how "WVU should recruit more in-state players and offer them scholarships". There's no loyalty anymore. Clement worked hard, and was rewarded with a scholarship. How does he repay his in-state team? By leaving for the highest bidder.

.Coaches at schools like WVU can only hope for adequate roster management every year not building any type of team culture. With the exception of the Military academies, the era of playing for the school and winning one for the Gipper is over.
What does his mother being pregnant at the time of the move have to do with anything?
He don’t owe no one anything…especially his high school English teacher. I agree with some of the others. The minute that getting g a scholarship and all access to facilities and development wasn’t enough for these “kids” and money became permissible, they need to be able to accept the criticism. Look forward to never hearing from some of these kids again, and look forward more to the ones, like Nicco, who want to stay and be part of the solution.
Why are you worried about a reply to another persons post? I'm Just repeating what I know from story that was given by a WVU sports show.
It has nothing to do with Rod leaving the first time. It's all about the money. How old was the kid 2 or something in 2007. Geez lighten up people.
Good luck Huddy. He was a small bright spot on a bad team but he wasn't really that great overall. Rich Rod will replace him so easily its not even worth worrying about. This is a non issue.
RR still doesn't pass the ball..averaged 190 last season and 170 the two before that...Illinois averaged 264 last year... it's going to be difficult to recruit talented WR's.
After the spring portal..some players WVU is going to obtain to be starters will only have 15 fall practices before the first game...the overall quality of college football is going to go down the drain

Hudson, quit crying and go get your money. Don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on your way to Illinois. And don't come crying back in a year after your production drops drastically.
Pat Whit under RR offense
Passing / Rushing
2005 - 65 of 114 / 131
2006 - 129 of 179 / 165
2007 - 144 of 216 / 197
He also had more passing yards than rushing yards. Passing percentage by year 57, 69.9, 66.7
Rod would prefer, just like other coaches in football, to be as close to 50/50 as possible.
WVU is better off in Rich Rod's style of offense. It's much easier to recruit freak athletic QB than to go out and get 4-5 freak WR's. Our most consistent years offensively were with mobile QB's. I think the biggest thing that Rich Rod has already addressed that he didn't his first time at WVU is the defensive side of the ball. If we have a solid defense, and run the ball 60/40, control the clock, then wins should pile up.
I know.....you don't hate Rich Rod.
Exactly. And that style will translate well into the Big 12. Arizona State ran a similar offense as Rod and look what they just did in their first year of the Big12.WVU is better off in Rich Rod's style of offense.

I don't think the wins will ever pile up. If WVU does get a dynamic player the odds of keeping him are slim...WVU along with most of the B12 are like AAA baseball teams with players able to transfer and not sit out..WVU is better off in Rich Rod's style of offense.

just on the defensive side of the ball starters have been lost to LSU, Miss St, Auburn, SMU. Miami (2), and Georgia
Huddy doesn't seem very appreciative of the opportunity we gave him in Morgantown. SO....... don't let the door kick you in the ass on the way out. GTFO and stay out.
When you have a soft coach you get a soft culture. Hudson is the result of a wimpy coach who allowed the players to run the team. It’s no wonder we weren’t winning. Good riddance. He could’ve been appreciative of the opportunity given to him by WVU. It probably saved him from playing unnoticed in the WVIAC at a place like WV Wesleyan. Instead he tells WVU and the fans “I don’t owe nobody nothing.”. While that may be true, he should’ve paid attention in English class.
And ASU was ripped off in Texas game by poor officiating.
wonder what would motivate someone to give large amounts of their money away like that?..
Fun Facts: Va Tech has never played Penn St in football
All of the WVU speed and strength records at the NFL combines were set by Mike Joseph trained players..here's the only players to reach 30 or more in the bench press
Y Cajuste: 32
M Glonisnski: 31
Z Frazier: 30
C Neild : 30
Let me get this straight you illiterate, entitled, little sh*t. You are out for "better opportunities" and what is "best for you", yet you get indignant when other people with no vested interest in you are not saying glowing things about your pursuit of those "opportunities"? No one at WVU or Illinois gives a crap about you, but rather the schools themselves. That care only extends to you as long as you represent the institution that those people are fans of. Expect it to go away as soon as you choose to go somewhere else and then talk poorly articulated trash towards the fans that rightly point out you are not a high caliber FBS receiver.
Can't wait for that attitude to carry over to his first employment and his boss says "yep, you are right. Neither do I. You're fired". Of course there will be plenty more Wendy's and :McDonald's for him to work at.
Who do you think funds the country roads trust and pays a large part of coaching salaries? Boosters.
That is a fun fact I was not aware of regarding VT and Penn State. Not sure why you mentioned it out of the blue?
I assume you still think Joseph is the best in the business. Your opinion doesn’t match the majority of those in the know. You’re free to believe that if you want
I know boosters do it..just wondering why since they get no return on that investment....I wouldn't know how to judge the best in the business..just the numbers his players have put up....here's WVU all-time 40 records..Everyone except Adam Jones was trained by Joseph.
Tavon Austin 4.34
Kevin White 4.35
BFW 4.38
Pacman 4.38
Bruce Irvin 4.41
G Jennings 4.42

Genetics have far more to do with 40 times than strength and conditioning. Strength and conditioning on the other hand allows a 4.3 speed guy to still stay under 5 seconds after running that 40 yard dash dozens of times earlier.
Do you honestly believe that someone can boost their 40 time when they get to be 18-21 years old? The ONLY thing that a strength and conditioning coach can increase is start/explosion times. Will that help a 40-time? Yes, by a non-measurable result. Basically, they could help a person who ran a 4.35 to run a 4.34.
If that's the case...how about weight gain?...Mesidor was 200 lbs when he got here and over 230 when Miami poached him.
But you used 40-times. Not weight gain as your example.
I know. You don’t hate Rich Rod.
I used more than one example...apparently there is no tangible proof for judging the skill of a S&C coach so why bring up replacing them?
We hired a Bond villain to run the football program...shame
It's going to be a long several years for you and. your miserable attitude towards our football program. Take notice, there will not be any seats on the bandwagon for you to jump on.
I hear Pitt is looking for fans. Send them a request.
.....and I know......you don't hate Rich Rod.
it's going to be a long several years for everyone. I always thought he had a gift for running an offense...he's also one of the weirdest people to ever coach college football .

You might be saying you don't hate Rod but your comments against him and school sure don't relate to that.
The judge of a S&C coach is how gassed your guys are in the 4th quarter vs the average team. It's why a guy like Quincy Wilson was ripping off big chunks late in games while talents like Frank Gore, Willis McGahee, and Kevin Jones couldn't always wear down the Mountaineer defense.
