ICYMI: Mountaineers Reach Out to Cincinnati De-Commits Greene, Moore, Duclona wvsportsnow.com/mountaineers-r…
@MikeAsti11 Being like Cincinnati would be great if we were in the AAC. Let’s see if the strategy works in the Big12.
@jeff_ruff @MikeAsti11 Said that ever since. One thing to beat up on schools like ECU and Tulsa weekly. What we did in the Big East in our most successful years after VT and Miami were gone. We got freebies Vs UConn, Rutgers, etc Schedule matters.
@ClintBennett90 @jeff_ruff Literally no team in the country has a schedule without freebies on it and putting together too tough of a schedule makes things unnecessarily hard. But the only point that matters is there’s talent at Cincinnati, which is why WVU is going after those players.
@MikeAsti11 @jeff_ruff Yea I miss read the initial context. I thought Jeff was talking about their transition into the Big 12. I think people are going to find out it isn’t easy, don’t fool ourselves that’s part of the reason Fickle jumped ship at end of this season. I agree they have some talent.
@MikeAsti11 @jeff_ruff Also argue no one in the country is scheduling as hard as us. Sure VT can be considered a “freebie” but we also went there on a Thursday Night. Towson was the true only freebie. Same as next year. Like we weren’t good this year but we weren’t an easy out especially at home.
@ClintBennett90 @MikeAsti11 Yep, all I’m saying is that talent he was bringing in was great for the AAC. It may not translate to the Big12.
@ClintBennett90 @jeff_ruff I am sure it will be tougher for UC in the Big 12.
@ClintBennett90 @MikeAsti11 Now, if we’re adding UC recruited guys for depth, that might not be a bad thing.
