Orlando Rivals Camp Review: WVU
WVSports.com made the trek to Orlando to take in the Rivals Camp Series stop and spoke with several prospects about the latest with their recruitments as well as where West Virginia stands with each.
The latest: At this point the Rivals.com four-star prospect is keeping an open mind with his recruitment but lists West Virginia as a program that is standing out as well as Tennessee, Louisville and Texas A&M. He plans to visit Morgantown sometime during the spring and has been talking with both running backs coach JaJuan Seider and wide receivers coach Lonnie Galloway. When asked what stands out, he replied, “Most everything with the offense. The coaching staff and what they can do for me and prepare me for the next level. In the last two years they’ve had four receivers going to the NFL. I like the high tempo offense and the fans.”
The latest: Davis used the event as a way to practice his technique and has seen his recruitment pick up in recent weeks with half a dozen offers. The Syracuse commitment is hearing a lot from West Virginia and he has been in constant contact with running backs coach JaJuan Seider since first receiving an offer from the Mountaineers. He plans to take an official visit to Morgantown this fall and is also looking into trips this summer to Syracuse and Central Florida. “I was talking to (coach Seider) last night about the NFL combine.”
The latest: The explosive athlete is being recruited all over the field and West Virginia is doing much of the same. West Virginia is one of three programs that are showing him a lot of interest including Louisville and Kentucky, with Louisville being the most active. He has been in contact with his recruiting coach and said that he is working on trying to set a visit to both Morgantown and Louisville. Right now he wants to put the major focus on getting on the field early and doesn’t plan to make a decision until sometime near signing day.
The latest: Right now West Virginia is on the outside looking in for Lemons as he has a favorite list of North Carolina, Ohio State, Auburn, South Carolina and Tennessee. He said that he is up to 24 total offers and while he has heard some from West Virginia, it hasn’t been nearly enough to keep them in his top group of schools. He is looking at taking multiple visits this spring including to the majority of his favorite schools and isn’t looking to rush a decision when it comes to recruiting.
The latest: While he doesn’t have an offer from West Virginia yet, Anderson has been in contact with offensive coordinator Joe Wickline and is interested in the football program. He has received recent offers from a number of schools and is up to 18 total. He plans trips to UCF, East Carolina and FAU and is looking for a program where he fits in with the tradition as well as the way the coaches talk to him and his family.
