It wasn’t long ago when Dan Jennings was thinking about his future as a basketball player, a future that has played out quite differently than he once imagined.

Jennings, a 6-foot-8, 240-pound forward from New York, committed to West Virginia basketball’s recruiting class of 2009 last week. Pennsylvania guard Dalton Pepper committed to the same class over the weekend as well.

“That school was about the last place I was thinking of going to,” Jennings said, “but it grew on me.”

If West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins took a gamble signing Roscoe Davis then Kevin Keatts is the croupier, the man overseeing the bet.

Keatts is the head coach of the ultra-successful Hargrave Military Academy program.

And for coaches like Huggins, plucking talent from Keatts’ team is as close to a sure thing as you’ll find.

Former West Virginia University track and cross country standout Megan Metcalfe will get a chance to fulfill her lifelong dream when she competes in the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China.

A native of Edmonton, Alberta, Metcalfe will represent Canada when she competes against the world’s best in the 5,000-meter event. A nine-time All-American at WVU in both cross country and track and field, she believes that her success in collegiate athletics was the tipping point in helping her train rigorously for this summer’s Olympic Games.

West Virginia Public Broadcasting will televise five West Virginia University soccer matches this fall.

A statement from the university Tuesday says three men’s games and two women’s games will be shown.

Last year the women’s team advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history, while the men’s team reached the round of 16 for the first time since 1981.

Just a quick reminder that College Football Live has kicked off their 08-09 season this week on ESPN. It’s a quick watch (30 minutes) and it’s on every weekday.

They’ve already done some quick segments on Pat White and Coach Stew, and they’ve mentioned Devine and a few others.

So, set your DVR’s (or VCR’s if you’re still using those things) to record it at 3:30 (eastern).

It’ll get you fired up knowing that the season is right around the corner.

My wife and I were friends with a young married couple who seemed to have everything going for them.

But the wife, who looked like a young Cheryl Tiegs, left her husband for a doctor whose own wife had given birth just five weeks earlier.

Since I had been in the couple’s wedding, I thought I could talk some sense into our friend.

“If this guy is willing to cheat on his pregnant wife,” I told her, “don’t you think he’s going to do the same thing to you?”

That’s what the University of Michigan should be asking itself today.

West Virginia University expects the contract for football Coach Bill Stewart to be completed soon and perhaps before the start of the season.”It’s in the hands of the attorneys reviewing the drafts as we speak,” WVU Deputy Director of Athletics Mike Parsons said. “We fully expect something here to be completed certainly within the next month.”

Stewart led the Mountaineers to a Fiesta Bowl victory against Oklahoma Jan. 3 as the interim coach. He was named head coach a few hours later and agreed in principle to a five-year deal worth $4.5 million. Stewart, 55, made $139,000 as an assistant last season, but will make $800,00 this season.

He’s signed a term sheet. A liquidated damages clause is not expected to be included in the contract.

“There are no issues,” Parsons said. “We’re just waiting for the reviews to come back from both parties.”

Pat Liebig, who last played football in 2006, is awaiting word from the NCAA on whether he will be permitted to play his remaining year of eligibility this fall.

“He has applied to the NCAA for permission, and I think his chance of being approved is very good,” Coach Bill Stewart said. “But he has not heard anything yet.”

Liebig left after the 2006 school year because his father, Thomas, was ill and needed him to help operate the family’s three automobile dealerships in Naples, Fla. But the businesses have been sold and the elder Liebig’s health has improved.

“Pat was not only a very good player but an honor student,” Stewart said of the native of Germany. “He had a grade point average of 3.6 or 3.7 in finance and accounting, and he did the right and honorable thing by leaving.

If at the end of the basketball season Devin Ebanks turns out to be the best of West Virginia’s freshmen, we can be reasonably sure of three things.First, Ebanks had a very good season. Second, the Mountaineers had a very good season. Third, “very good” might not be a strong enough description.

Ebanks is indeed the top-ranked recruit in the Class of 2008, but forward Kevin Jones and guard Truck Bryant aren’t too far behind. Maybe Ebanks starts as a freshman, perhaps from the very beginning, and replaces most of the production lost from the frontcourt when Joe Alexander went pro.

Just don’t discount the possibility Jones and Bryant prove to be equally important in their own way.

“I feel like we’re going to do some great things together,” Bryant said.

John Giammarco is impressed.He’s impressed with incoming WVU freshman Kevin Jones.  He’s impressed with incoming WVU freshman Darryl “Truck” Bryant.

And he’s been a fan of Mountaineer junior Joe Mazzulla since last year at this time.

Giammarco is the man who runs the Pittsburgh Basketball Club Pro-Am circuit, which is staging playoffs this week in the Steel City.

And while most WVU fans will wait until the season opener to check out the Mountaineer newbies, Giammarco has the scoop now. On the older and the new.

“Joe Mazzulla might be the best guard in the Big East,” Giammarco said on Monday. “He’s had a great summer.”

When the Big Ten Conference reveals its 2008 preseason football poll later this week, Rich Rodriguez’s new team isn’t likely to be mentioned.

That’s because the conference (let’s don’t embarrass anyone) only reveals the top three finishers of 11 teams. The anointed are likely to be Ohio State, Wisconsin and Illinois or Penn State.

Michigan, in Rodriguez’s debut season after his soap-opera exit from West Virginia, is likely to be a middle-of-the-pack (fifth?) projection.

However, the retooling Wolverines figure to be the Big Ten team with the most intrigue.

Thor Merrow is having a tougher time finding a spot where he can become a steady contributor than his father, Jeff, did as an outstanding middle guard for West Virginia from 1972-74.

The youngster spent his first two years here as a defensive lineman, but was switched to fullback/tight end in spring practice. Now he hopes that he finally is situated for his remaining two years of collegiate competition.

“I love playing fullback,” said the 6-foot-1, 245-pound junior from Buford, Ga. “I lost 20 pounds (from 265), feel a lot better and I move a lot better.”

Third-year Head Coach Marlon LeBlanc has played a vital role in sparking a Renaissance-like era for the WVU men’s soccer program.

The 2006 Soccer America Coach of the Year is one of the brightest young coaches in the country. Coming to Morgantown with tremendous knowledge of the game stemming from his days as a player and assistant coach at Penn State, LeBlanc immediately put his front foot forward and got the maximum effort from his players.

WEST VIRGINIA. It’s hard to find much wrong about Pat White. Last season, the 6-foot-1, 192-pound Mountaineer senior was equally dangerous running (1,335 yards) and passing (1,724), accounting for 14 touchdowns each way. He’s learned to be comfortable inside the pocket, but flushing him out of it can be painfully counterproductive — as Louisville discovered last season, when White beat the Cardinals with a 50-yard fourth-quarter sprint.

Yet while the Daphne, Ala., product’s numbers are almost superhuman, his body isn’t. Because of his frequent exposure to tacklers, White has been injured several times over the past few seasons, and that has allowed backup Jarrett Brown (also a guard on the West Virginia basketball team) to blossom. In limited action last season, Brown (6-4, 220) completed 31 of 46 passes for 346 yards and two touchdowns, scored three times against Connecticut, and generally maintained the offensive momentum whenever White was on the sidelines.

Date with West Virginia: Friday, Nov. 28, noon (ABC)

Site: Heinz Field (65,050, grass), Pittsburgh

Coach: Dave Wannstedt (4th year, 16-19)Checking them outIn a Big East that has all sorts of storylines this season, this one rivals West Virginia in the post-Rich Rodriguez era as perhaps the most intriguing: Is Pitt on the verge of something big, as seems possible in light of that 13-9 win over WVU last December, or was that just a fluke and the Panthers are no better than their 4-7 record up to that point?

If nothing else, the pieces seem to be falling into place. Pitt had another highly rated recruiting class, an offense built around a powerful tailback like LeSean McCoy is just what Wannstedt craves and that win over a national championship frontrunner at the time was huge for momentum and confidence. Still, there have been other great recruiting classes and other sizeable wins that led to nothing but unrealized expectations in recent seasons.

West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins has picked up two verbal commitments who are expected to begin their Mountaineer careers in the 2009-10 season.They are Dan Jennings, a 6-foot-8, 240-pound power forward from New York City, who attended Oak Hill Academy (Va.) in the 2007-08 school year, and Dalton Pepper, a 6-4 swingman who earned first-team all-state honors as a junior last season at Pennsbury High School in Fallingston, Pa.

Jennings, who is playing for the New York Gauchos AAU team this summer, plans to spend another season at prep school before enrolling at West Virginia in the fall of 2009.

With the Gauchos, he earned MVP honors in the Rumble in the Bronx tournament this summer.

Jennings also has attracted interest from Pittsburgh, Rutgers, St. John’s, Seton Hall, Marquette, DePaul, Memphis, Oklahoma State and Xavier, according to Rivals.com.

Pepper, the 134th player in Rivals.com’s rankings of the 2009 class, considered Temple, which is near his hometown, but switched to West Virginia, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. 

“I liked it down there when I visited and wanted an opportunity to play,” Pepper told the Daily News. “I wanted to go away. That was a big factor in my decision.

“If I would have stayed home, I probably would have decided on Temple. Fran Dunphy is a great coach. But I really liked Coach Huggins and West Virginia.”

Editor’s note: Marshall University football faces a diverse 2008 schedule in terms of both geography and status. Continuing a summer-long series, The Herald-Dispatch focuses on West Virginia, which plays host to the Thundering Herd on Sept. 27.

HUNTINGTON — Marshall is still seeking its first football victory against its archrival from the north.

West Virginia, which plays host to Marshall on Sept. 27, has defeated the Thundering Herd all seven times they met, including last season’s 48-23 triumph in Huntington.

SORRY EVERYONE, BUT with two weeks left until fall camp it’s looking more and more unlikely that Phoenix Community College standout Tevita Finau will be joining the Mountaineers this season.

Finau, a strongside defensive end, signed a letter of intent to play for the Mountaineers this past winter and was all set to arrive in Morgantown this summer until a couple of academic road blocks got in the way.

Finau enrolled at Phoenix Community College (Phoenix, Ariz.) last fall with the intention of playing one season and then transferring to a four-year school.

With the opening of West Virginia’s fall football camp just two weeks away, questions about WVU’s football fortunes in 2008 are cropping up more and more frequently. One of those that I’ve been getting the most (and which is the topic of frequent discussions in our user community) is a seemingly simple one: Which game(s) scare you the most on this year’s schedule?

As is often the case, standard questions such as this offer many facets for discussion. I could take the smart-aleck approach (None of them scare me, because I don’t have to play). Or the confident one (West Virginia is sufficiently established on the national scene, so no opponents are going to intimidate them.) Or the “any given Saturday” theory (Due to the increasingly broad spread of talent, there aren’t many “gimmees” any more. And watch out for Villanova!).

The recruits keep rolling in for Bob Huggins and his West Virginia University Mountaineer program, and the latest verbals they received should take care of replacing Joe Ruoff upon his departure and adding a big man for 2009 and beyond.

Dalton Pepper, a 6-5 shooting guard who is a two-time All-State player from Pennsbury, N.J., is one. He chose WVU over Villanova, Temple, Wake Forest and Miami, Fla., giving a verbal to the Mountaineers over the weekend, according to the Bucks County Courier Times.

Joining Pepper is 6-8 forward Dan Jennings, who played an important role for traditional power Oak Hill this year after having starred at Staten Island, N.Y.’s, Bishop Loughlin. Jennings gave his verbal over the weekend, according to Realscout.com, a recruiting Web site.

Jim Galusky is in his 31st year as a contracting video specialist for the West Virginia University’s athletic department.

What started out as a hobby with an eight-millimeter camera in the 1970s quickly developed into a lingering labor of love for the well-known 73-year-old resident of Masontown.

Galusky has gone from film to tape and from a drawn-out developing process to an instant digital presentation of his work. The results are utilized by the coaches, mainly in football and basketball. He shoots practice sessions as well as well as games.

Shortly after 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 30, the ball will be kicked off for West Virginia’s football opener against Villanova at Mountaineer Field.

In many ways, it will be like a lot of other games in the 30-plus-season coaching career of Bill Stewart, which has included stops at nearly a dozen colleges and two Canadian Football League franchises.

Of course, it will be very different in one very significant way. Instead of serving as an assistant coach, the 55-year-old New Martinsville native will be the one calling the shots. The head honcho.

About the time that most people were heading to the shore for the weekend, Dalton Pepper decided to head to the mountains for college.

Pepper — the talented swing forward from Pennsbury who has earned all-state honors the past two seasons — ended months of speculation by making a verbal commitment to West Virginia late Friday afternoon.

Considered by many publications to be among the top 100 prospects in the Class of 2009, Pepper chose the Mountaineers of the Big East Conference over Villanova, Temple, Wake Forest and Miami (Fla.)

Bob Huggins and his staff have been busy during the AAU tournament-laden month of July, and have reportedly added two more commitments to its Class of 2009

Swingman Dalton Pepper, who had narrowed his final two choices to West Virginia and Villanova, made his choice for the Mountaineers according to a smal item in the New York Daily News. Pepper, who was named MVP of a Hoop Group Elite cam earlier this summer, did not attend the Triple S Harley Davidson Jam Fest in Morgantown due to his attendance at a summer school class.

1. LOGAN THOMAS, 6-6, 225, ATH, BROOKVILLE (LYNCHBURG). Thomas has taken multiple trips to Tech and UVa and has a final seven that includes Clemson, North Carolina, Tennessee, Wake Forest and West Virginia. He was a receiver as a sophomore, when he had 60 receptions, but moved to quarterback last year and had nearly 2,000 yards in total offense. He’s also a better student (3.4) than most of the top uncommitted players.

2. MORGAN MOSES, 6-7, 332, OL, MEADOWBROOK (RICHMOND). Two of the lists have Moses rated as the No. 1 prospect in the state, committed players included, but I’m always going to go with a skill-position player. I’m also hesitant to rate a tight end too highly. That may be the position Thomas plays in college, but his background at wide receiver and quarterback certainly qualifies him as a skilled player. Virginia and Virginia Tech are competing for Moses, but he also has offers from such big-time programs as Florida, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. I don’t know if you put West Virginia in the same category as those schools, but the Mountaineers have offered Moses, too.

Bob Huggins is at it again!

According to this site Dalton Pepper gave his commitment to the Mountaineers. Pepper will replace Ruoff at the #2 position.

“I just went there and thought it was the best fit for me,” Pepper said in a phone interview on Friday. “I loved the school, the campus and the coaches made me feel really welcome. It’s a place that I feel like I’ll fit in well.”

And this site lists 2009 big man Dan Jennings as giving Huggins a verbal.

Dan Jennings thought long and hard about what college to attend. The 6′8 Lefty has chosen to take his game to Morgantown WV. Jennings has informed the coaching staff that he will be headed to West Virginia University after this prep year. Making coach Bob Huggins a very happy man.

West Virginia will play Iowa, and Kentucky will meet Kansas State in the semifinals of the 2008 Findlay Toyota Las Vegas Basketball Tournament.

In the first two rounds leading up to that third round, West Virginia will meet Longwood in Morgantown Thursday, Nov. 20, and Delaware State in Charleston Tuesday, Nov. 25.

SOME COACHES treat midweek football games much like a trip to the oral surgeon. Sure it’s a pain, and it really knocks you out of your routine, but the bottom line is that you’ve got to do it.

West Virginia’s first-year coach looks at his upcoming schedule, which includes two Thursday games and one Friday game - two of those on the road - and doesn’t get too down in the mouth about it.

Devin Ebanks doesn’t realize it and he certainly doesn’t promote it, but all it takes to turn heads and get people to point fingers is for him to enter a gymnasium.Even at the Greentree SportsPlex in the backyard of Ebanks’ soon-to-be Big East rival, the Pitt Panthers.

“I don’t really pay attention to it,” he said. “I come from New York and New York is a media capital. The attention isn’t new to me. I’m used to it.”

Everything else, though, is changing for Ebanks, the ballyhooed West Virginia basketball recruit ranked as high as the ninth-best prospect in the Class of 2008.

“It’s a whole different thing now, on a whole new level,” he said. “Transition-wise, it’s a little hard to get used to the whole thing, from workouts to getting used to college life, period. It’s a constant adjustment.”

The 6-foot-9, 205-pound forward from Long Island, N.Y., already is enrolled and taking classes. On Monday and Wednesday nights, he plays with many of his new WVU teammates, as well as players from schools like Pitt, Duquesne and Robert Morris, in the Pittsburgh Basketball Club’s Pro-Am Summer League.

Mike Joseph, director of strength and conditioning, thinks West Virginia University’s football players are at the point where they should be with just a week of summer workouts remaining.“They have been working really hard, and I believe the program is heading in the right direction,” he said Thursday afternoon. “They feel better, stronger, faster and quicker.”

Players who have been interviewed by the media have said Joseph, who assumed his position on Feb. 1, isn’t as tough as Mike Barwis, his predecessor, but that he’s getting at least the same results with a different approach.

Asked about that, the Fairmont native commented:

“I think (in effect) they’re saying that I’m not yelling in their faces. I get out there very intense and they know I get upset when they’re not doing what they should be doing. But I think overall they understand that as long as they work as hard as they need to, with intensity and effort, they get rewarded with the rest and recovery time they need to go out here and work again.

The $2.5 million about to be paid in the Rich Rodriguez buyout litigation initially will go into West Virginia University’s general fund, Alex Macia said Wednesday.

Macia, the school’s general counsel, also said that WVU — not the athletic department — will pay expenses of its own legal team following last week’s out-of-court settlement of the $4 million lawsuit.

It was the university that filed suit last December against Rodriguez, its head football coach for seven years, for leaving before his latest contract expired.

New West Virginia running backs coach Chris Beatty is searching for the next Noel Devine.Or at least someone to fill the role of backup tailback that Devine played so effectively for the Mountaineers last season.

As the clock ticks down to the Aug. 30 season opener against Villanova, West Virginia’s depth at tailback - or serious lack thereof - continues to be an area of concern, especially for Beatty.

“I think we’ve got some young guys coming in that we hope can play,” said Beatty. “Somebody’s going to have to come up and be the No. 2 guy behind Noel and create some competition at that spot.”

One of the players who could be in the race for the backup role is Terence Kerns.

A former prep standout in Maryland, Kerns only recently became eligible academically to compete for the Mountaineers. He originally signed with WVU following the 2006 season, but didn’t make the grade and spent last year at Hargrave Military Academy. He signed with WVU again in February.

West Virginia University’s offensive line, which returns all five starters from last year, is ranked No. 1 in the country by one preseason publication and No. 4 by another.“That just puts a big target on our backs,” All-America tackle Ryan Stanchek said. “But, actually, that’s the way you want to be. You want that target. Sure, it puts pressure on us to go out and perform.

“But I love pressure. That’s just me.”

The 6-4, 303-pound senior from Cincinnati, Ohio, doesn’t think it bothers any of his teammates along the front line. Like him, they just go out and do their jobs very well, day in and day out.
