Hes an average to slightly above average recruiter but not sure how his PA cntacts will translate to getting kids out west.

Locksley is amazing, A huge get for you guys, I can say many WVU fans wanted him to stay no matter what Casteel did. He Did wonders for our DBS and count yourselfs lucky if he and Not Gibson is DB coaching.

Any insight as to why coach K left? What is the general sentiment for the reasoning in the WVU camp?

The guy is a coach for 30-something years at WVU and these are your parting words for him? Picking up and leaving to move a few thousand miles to the southwest is disruptive to him and his family, and a substantial statement. You are putting it all on him? Really? After +30 years?! Dude, I bet you weren't even alive when he started coaching at WVU.

I was alive when Coach K came to WVU. Doesn't excuse disloyalty. Some great people were disloyal at the end. It is WVU or the highway. That means you support the man in charge. If you have an issue with him you either confront that man directly or you quit. You don't leak crap for 6 months!

If that is truly what happened, that he made public comments to undermine the coach, then yea that's a huge red flag. Perhaps he had become institutionalized a bit there and was resisting change? But then again, that's a hard pill to swallow since now he's changing the **** out of his life and coming to the desert.

If you are talking about he said/she said type rumors behind the scenes then wouldn't put too much into that. Dude is vocal, we all know that. Those kinds of people tend to say what is on their mind perhaps a bit too much. In the end, if that is the case, that perhaps someone's cousin overheard a conversation in the hallway between coaches, or whatever, then no biggie.

Either way, he gets a clean slate when he comes down here. He has earned it.

Here's a question about WVU's philosophy and scheme... and how it relates to the implementation of the 3-3-5 stack at Arizona.

Did WVU have issues recruiting size on the DL? or did the coaches purposely seek out undersized Defensive tackles and ends in the 240-260lb range?

That's a good question. You would think that for any 3 man front to be successful against the run size at DT would be more important than athleticism. Doesn't seem like Castell agrees and his D's were pretty good against the run. Maybe it's a recruiting issue though?

The only bitter old man I see around here is you. Dont come around here talking trash about our new coach with such crap unless you can substantiate it.
