BLU 10 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Why doesn't WVU recruit this in-state talent?. Congrats, but wish he was a eer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMoney55 11 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Ansel talked to me about the whole WVU situation. He was talking about going to Hargrave and then ending up at Tech and that he had no desire to go to WVU after how they treated both he and Jordan Roberts of Scott. In his words "Forget WVU. Tech actually likes me and I dont even live there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetMoney55 11 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 but when there is good, legit D-1 talent in this state seeing as it is so rare, they should do a better job of jumping onto it before schools from far away states do. Ansel and Shaun Brooks have gotten more attention from schools in California and other west coast-midwest schools than they have WVU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
