Huggins responds, Jahiem White is Him, and we’ve got a Smoking Musket Travel Advisory

Wren Baker lays out his vision, another Mountaineer signs a pro contract, and the SEC and Big 10 get richer

(Spoiler Alert: You absolutely can) Which season is definitively the worst WVU basketball season of the 21st Century? Let’s answer these questions and more after WVU’s season ending loss to Cincinnati in Kansas City.

Almost heaven in the news

West Virginia’s Blue Ridge peaks, dramatic gorges, and rushing rivers put it on the map for hikers, rafters, and rock climbers.

Perhaps one of the country’s most unsung – but most beautiful – destinations, West Virginia is a foliage fan’s dream.

West Virginia’s New River Gorge, encompassing more than 70,000 acres, became the country’s newest national park and preserve in December.

Whitewater rafting, a treetop obstacle course and the precarious Bridge Walk across the New River Gorge Bridge are particular highlights for families with big kids and tweens.

Although barely a five-hour drive from the Washington D.C. suburbs, this area is enveloped in enough national forest land to allow extra-clear skies.

West Virginia is a beauty queen of a state, with ragged mountains to hike or ski and white-water rapids to paddle. It’s also stuffed with Civil War history and charming small towns. To explore it all, you’ll need a home base.

Our collective obsession with the outdoors this past year turned out to be fortuitous timing for West Virginia.

Located on more than 70,000 acres in the Appalachian Mountains of the state’s southern region, the park’s titular waterway snakes through densely wooded hills and imposing sandstone cliffs.

America’s newest national park is one of the world’s finest river-rafting destinations. The site protects a slice of the New River, one of the oldest in the world, as well as the 876ft-tall New River Gorge Bridge.

West Virginia has been getting the word out about all its spectacular nature of late—notably the churning whitewater, forested trails and sandstone cliffs of America’s 63rd national park.

The Ascend West Virginia initiative pays remote workers to move to one of five participating communities, with some extra perks aimed at attracting outdoor enthusiasts in particular

With five participating communities, Ascend West Virginia is a public-private initiative with an impressive pedigree: Its founders are West Virginia native Brad D. Smith, former CEO of software company Intuit, and his wife Alys.

One of West Virginia’s best treasures is New River Gorge National Park and Preserve, a 70,000-acre park where the world’s second-oldest river cuts through a vast valley of geological formations and ecological wonders.

Of the free, primitive campgrounds offered at New River Gorge National Park, we like Grandview Sandbar best for its easy river access, shady picnic tables, and designated fire rings.

New River Gorge, in West Virginia, became America’s newest national park in December 2020.

This former mining town has been reborn as an adventure hub with quick access to world-class rock climbing and whitewater rafting inside the New River Gorge.

West virginia football hosts a 7th grader for a visit.

The early bird gets the worm. We’ve all heard it before, and apparently West Virginia football is taking the old adage to a new level.

Over the weekend the Mountaineers hosted Austan Christiaan, a quarterback from the 2028 class who will be a seventh grader this season.

On the visit, Christiaan had a photo shoot and looked the part in the West Virginia all-whites.

🔵🟡 Country Roads Take Me Home! Can’t wait to get back to WVU. @QBHitList @NealBrown_WVU @QBIQsystem @WVUfootball @WestVirginiaU @WVUSports @CoachChadScott @Elite11 @TaylorLWest_ @CoachHarrellWVU @MastrolePassing @RWrightRivals @On3sports @On3Recruits @Media_Carnival pic.twitter.com/AllmKZ4xXj — Austan Cristiaan (@AustanQB) August 13, 2022

QB Hit List, a recruiting site that has covered Christiaan, list several attributes that makes the young quarterback one of the most intriguing future prospects in America.

“Austan has very good size for a 2028 Pro Style QB at 5’8” 150 lbs. He attacks the defense at every level. Works all of his receiver options with quick strikes. Delivers the ball with a full extension, giving his throws added height.

“Very precise with his delivery with sound throwing mechanics. Whether in the pocket or on the run, he remains consistent.

“Austan can attack a defense in many ways, whether it comes from a quick strike over the middle or a deep vertical throw downfield. Good strength in arm with high velocity throws. Tight trajectory with minimal drag.”

Of course, I write some of this a bit tongue in cheek, but in reality a player who reaches five-star status in his junior and senior year of high school is likely separating himself from the pack in junior high. So, when is the right time to start your visits? Eh, who really knows at this point, bit Christiaan has seen some of the top programs in the country as a kid, and nobody can knock him for that.

2025 RB Love sets West Virginia official visit

Fort Walton Beach (Fla.) 2025 running back Eddie Love has long been interested in the West Virginia football program but will be able to see it in person on an official visit.

Love, 5-foot-8, 185-pounds, has been in contact with both offensive coordinator Chad Scott and head coach Neal Brown.

He has been impressed with the message from both.

“They’ve been telling me how much they can develop me not only in football but just as a man and how they could use me in their offense well,” he said.

The Rivals.com three-star prospect likes what the Mountaineers have told him on top of how persistent they have been with how they are recruiting him.

“They show mad love. Coach Brown hits me up at least once every week checking on me,” he said.

Love plans to take an official visit to West Virginia June 7-9 and is excited to being able to meet the coaching staff in person as well as see how the facilities stacks up to other schools. He likes how the Mountaineers haven’t been afraid of playing young running backs and had success with it, too.

“Coach Scott just had a freshman All-American this past year and they are the number one rushing offense among power five teams,” he said. “That there says it all.”

The Mountaineers are targeting him as a running back and love the rising senior's ability to make cuts, maintain contact balance and his speed at the position. He is coming off a season where he accounted for 1,783 all-purpose yards and 15 scores.

On top of West Virginia, Love plans to take official visits to both Pittsburgh and Tulane. He isn’t looking to rush into anything with his recruitment but wants to find a program that is going to help him develop not only on the field but away from it. He also wants to find the right type of educational fit.

“A great relationship that’s key,” he said. “And obviously get developed to the best.”

WVU Football team visits Arch Coal’s Leer Mining Complex

GRAFTON, W.Va . — Every time the West Virginia Mountaineers walk into Mountaineer Field they tap a large chunk of coal positioned outside of the stadium. Wednesday, Coach Neal Brown and his staff took the entire team on a field trip to see where it comes from.

The Mountaineers paid a visit to Arch Coal’s Leer Mining Complex in Taylor County. The team got a chance to take a look at one of the state’s most important industries up close and visit with a lot of Mountaineer fans who spend much of their work day deep inside the earth.

West Virginia Football Reveals New Uniforms Set to Debut in 2024

First look at the new threads.

• Author: Schuyler Callihan

MORGANTOWN, WV - Saturday afternoon, the West Virginia Mountaineers revealed a new set of uniforms during the spring game which will debut in 2024.

The stripes on the shoulder pads return, paying homage to the Pat White/Geno Smith eras of Mountaineer football which saw three BCS wins, while double stripes on the pants honor the teams from the 20th century which featured Major Harris and co., who made it to the national championship in 1988. The flying WV logo also returns on each side of the shoulder pads as well.

The road uniform has West Virginia across the chest just above the numbers while the gold and blue jerseys read Mountaineers.
