I want to be careful not to violate any copyright laws as this material was posted on the paid members site of BGN. I paraphrased and removed major commentary from him… and added some of my own. A very interesting look back at this class… Kevin starts with his assessment of the offensive recruits from that class.

This is his grading system…

Star: A multi-year first-teamer
who produced excellent play and
earned all-star or other honors.

Starter: Those with at least one
season as a regular starter and a
record of solid performance.

Backup: Players who filled
substitute roles on offense or
defense, and also those who manned
one or more special teams positions
on a consistent basis.

Contributor: Those with mostly
special teams appearances or scout
team roles,

No-Show: Those that never
arrived or quickly departed from the
program.


He started with the QB recruits. A couple of studs, some analysts believed one or both could eventually push Geno out of a starting position…

Jeremy Johnson - quickly left the program. Eventually transferred to Blinn College… a JUCO school. Moved to WR.
Kevin's rating: No Show

Barry Brunetti - played one year at WVU where he totaled 10 yards of total offense. Transferred to Ole Miss, where he was 65 for 112, 634 yards, 7 TD's. He also rushed 153 times for 697 yards, 7 TD's.
Kevin's rating: No Show

Only 1 RB…

Trey Johnson, out of VA HS. Played 2 years for WVU, ended with 2 rushes for 8 yds in 2011.
Kevin's rating: No Show

WR class…

Deon Long - transferred to New Mexico before transferring and ending his playing time at MD. Pretty good performer for MD. Had trouble with early morning training schedule at WVU.

Kevin's RATING: No Show

Quantavius Leslie - an academic non-qualifier. Went the JUCO route before transferring to LSU. At LSU he had 1 reception for 11 yards.
Kevin's rating: No Show

Ivan McCartney - what a waste. He finished with 71 catches, 861 yards, 4 TD's
Kevin's rating: Backup

Dante Chambers - a Miramar, FL graduate. Did nothing at WVU
Kevin's rating: No Show

Offensive Line….

Quinton Spain - played in 50 games, started 39. Earned 3 all-league honors his Sr year.
Kevin's rating: Starter

Marquis Wallace - non-qualifier
Kevin's rating: No Show

Benji Kemoeatu - Originally a Utah commit, changed his mind and committed to WVU, didn’t qualify, went
JUCO, but failed to graduate on time.
Kevin's rating: No Show

Offensive Totals: No Stars, One Starter, One Backup, Eight No Shows

Isn't that unbelievable? Not a single star out of the entire group. 8 frickin' no shows!

As I have harped on this for the past two years, the results of this class… the failures of this class… are major reasons why WVU has had a couple of tough years… especially in its move to the Big 12 where it faces much tougher competition.

Unfucking believable…
