Neal Brown passes first-year WVU recruiting test in a major way

COMMENTARY

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — There are three types of people who remain unsold on Neal Brown after his first season at West Virginia: the cautious optimists, the skeptics and the type of people who demand overwhelming mountains of evidence to believe commonly accepted events like the moon landing.

If you made a Venn diagram of those groups, there would be a very legitimate question at the center.

The cautious optimists liked what they saw from Brown as a coach in Year 1, but rightfully didn’t know what to expect from him as a recruiter.
