We here at The Smoking Musket can report that sources close to Mike Casazza tell us he has been hired by CBS Sports, and will be taking a role with their West Virginia University 247Sports affiliate, Eersports.com. Casazza will be joining West Virginia recruiting guru Chris Anderson at EerSports, and will continue to cover the Mountaineers as he did in his time with the Charleston Gazette-Mail.

With CBS Sports’ recent acquisition of the Scout recruiting network, Anderson found himself heading both EerSports and the former BlueGoldNews, which is now known as Mountaineers Daily. Anderson was left to look for a partner to bring aboard to help with the increased duties, and he may have found the perfect companion in Casazza.
