WVSports.com continues with our popular feature: The 3-2-1. We'll breakdown three things we learned that week, two questions we have and give one prediction.

Here is the next installment of the 3-2-1 looking at the West Virginia football program, the latest on basketball and what’s happening in recruiting.

3 things I learned:

1—West Virginia lands Gallagher. There was perhaps no target on the board as critical for the coaching staff in the 2023 class than Uniontown (Pa.) Laurel Highlands athlete Rodney Gallagher. The nation’s No. 105 ranked prospect, Gallagher had become a priority for the coaching staff over the past few years due to his talent level and the proximity to campus given the fact he is only 20-minutes up the road.

Gallagher, 6-foot-0, 170-pounds, made well over a dozen recruiting visits to campus over the past few years after West Virginia first extended a scholarship offer during the spring of 2020. Since that time Gallagher added an impressive collection of other scholarships including Notre Dame, Penn State, Texas, Oregon, Nebraska, Pittsburgh, Oklahoma State and a series of other schools.

The Rivals.com four-star prospect had initially planned to wait to take multiple official visits over the summer but elected to end this prematurely by announcing his commitment to the Mountaineers in front of a packed auditorium of family and friends at his high school.
