COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — David Sills acutely recognizes how circumstances shift and decisions don’t necessarily stand. The 13-year-old who famously stepped out of a middle-school study hall to accept Lane Kiffin’s scholarship offer was only a high school junior when USC fired Kiffin, essentially drying up that opportunity.
New scenario, new outlook, new direction. After several West Virginia coaches devoted months to making him their top quarterback target, Sills landed in Morgantown.
Thing is, one of those coaches, Shannon Dawson, left for Kentucky just as Sills was enrolling. And a year later, another one of his primary recruiters, Lonnie Galloway, now works for Louisville.
